Teruo Nakamura 　Lovely fool on the hill

Autumn, sometimes we may see thousands of hawks migration in a day at Shirakaba pass.
That is "Awesome!!"
To share the impression with everyone, he secludes himself in Shirakaba pass in autumn.
He cuts down trees to create the square for hawk watching with his buddies, and then looks at the sky from morning till night.
he, "hermit of Shirakaba pass", also continues creating the art of paper cutting for the front cover of bulletin of Wild Bird Society of Shinshu.
His house is handmade, the square of hawk watching is handmade, and his life is too, so it is a work of art which is filled with such a Nakamura-san's love for wild birds
He is always thinking for everyone and lives in proudly independent like a hawk.
