12. Be Coming Back , Be Turning


Boomerang as a hunting instrument is very popular and Dhijurido as a musical instrument is well known in Australia. We can see a lot of souvenirs decorated their surfaces with various unique dot painting of native Abolidini . From ancient times, I wonder that such wooden instruments are painted. From ruins of Japan, some wooden papers are found and their characters teach us those day's human lives and circulations.
At some museum I should find an ancient boomerang decorated with a tattoo by native inhabitants.
I know about ancient painting on the big stone surface , but it is impossible to find a small ancient instrument in the wide ground.

Boomerang is useful hunting instruments for native inhabitant. They have no expectation of coming back by throwing in perpendicular to the wind.
They could not wait for coming back, and had to throw directly next wooden poles in horizontal to kangaroos.
In Australia there are precipices of driven kangaroos into a corner. However, for finding birds and nests boomerang should be useful if coming back home. For coming back , the shape of boomerang changed to turn and its back is curved. A lot of boomerangs are tried to coming back.
I could not explain what is the fascination of boomerang but I bought it in hand very naturally.

Sound of dhijurido is very attractive. It is never to be forgotten sound. There is no holes in the wooden cylindrical instruments.
Good sound needs good practiced hand like Japanese wooden cylindrical instrument "SHAKUHACHI".
Voices from human mouth changed magically into majestic orchestra in a turning wooden cylinder.
Amazing. Wonderful.
Miracle. A different turn of wooden cylinder makes a different sound and individual character.
The individual turning fascinated me very much.

Be coming back, be turning , it means unexplained attraction for me. At looking on the wall decoration of boomerang bought unconsciously, it makes me comfortable.
Be alive with no obstinate, no perverse, at ease and at home. Sometimes, when I lose my way, I will come back to the wall and hand it and recall to my mind, reflect on myself, and confess to this boomerang.
