The Final Day of the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival | Looking Back on the Local Event
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Today is the final day of this year’s last cherry blossom festival! There are actually quite a few people out here, surprisingly. Even though the cherry blossoms have already turned into leafy branches, lol. There are so many rapeseed flowers blooming, it’s almost like a “Rapeseed Flower Festival”? lol. As usual, I’m having Iwakura yakisoba. Since I’m in civil engineering, I’m not really good with food and drink, so I’ll stick to what I’m good at—alcohol…
You Can See Progress Even With Just One Bolt | Developing Young Talent
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I was really happy to receive comments from developers about the flat cap the other day! By the way, as someone involved in development myself, I find that seeing new things like the flat cap is always a learning experience. Always…
Installing Load-Bearing Panels on Small Lots | Construction in Limited Spaces
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I suppose entrance ceremonies are being held all over today? In Iwakura City, Aichi Prefecture, a junior high school held its entrance ceremony. It’s pretty rare to have an entrance ceremony with absolutely no cherry blossoms, isn’t it? (lol) But anyway, here’s the installation of a load-bearing plate for self-drilling rock bolts on a narrow site. This is a follow-up to the previous post on installing load-bearing plates for self-drilling rock bolts…
Such Big Differences Based on Model Numbers | Selecting Construction Equipment
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m sure you’ve all had to look for a place to stay, like a ryokan, while traveling. These days, you probably start by searching online, right? Well, even though the place is listed online, when you actually call, you might hear, “The number you have dialed is no longer in service.” …
Homenya Sells Yakisoba at the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival | Community Contribution
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m selling Iwakura yakisoba at the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival again today. Being a vendor is actually pretty tough. I’m not used to standing on my feet this much or interacting with people all day, so it’s really hard! It’s a tough job for someone like me. Unfamiliar work is always a challenge. Iwakura yakisoba has a miso flavor…

The Construction Industry: Paperwork Piling Up by the Day | The Paperwork Nightmare on the Job Site
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. My business trip to Kagoshima is over, and for now, the fiscal year-end wraps up this week. This year’s fiscal year-end was incredibly hectic. It’s still hectic, though (lol), but I’m grateful for that. Naman-dabu, Naman-dabu. But anyway, moving on to the general contractor…
It’s Actually Important to Thoroughly Inspect Routine Tasks | Safety Management
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Doesn’t it seem like machinery breaks down at exactly the same moment, no matter where you’re working? The moment you move on to the next job site, the machine breaks down... I can’t help but wonder what’s behind that timing. The other day, the air feed motor on our suspended core drill broke down…
