薩摩川内市・西方海岸の人形岩。子を抱いた母の姿に見えるこの岩には、嵐の海から帰らぬ夫を、赤子を抱いたまま待ち続けた母の伝説が残ります。長時間露光で波を静めると、今も祈り続ける母の姿が浮かび上がります。
Ningyo-iwa, on the Nishikata coast of Satsuma Sendai. Local legend tells of a young mother who held her baby and waited for her husband, lost to a storm at sea, until she turned to stone. A long exposure calms the waves, and her silent prayer seems to continue to this day.
