焼畑の収穫 について

Minor grains such as buckwheat, Japanese millet and millet are harvested from October to November. Buckwheat and millet are cut from the roots with a sickle and hung on a pole to dry for a while. Millet is cut at the ear end with a sickle, placed in a tsuzuratego (kuzu basket) at the waist, and finally stored in a large kabaoke (hippopotamus hippopotamus). At this time, a song called 'Hie Chigiri Uta' was sung. However, when the Japanese millet is wet, it is cut from the root with a sickle and hung on a pole to dry.
