Drying laundry outside is a Showa action!
2026.7.28
Recently in Lemon8, when I was hanging out the laundry outside, a neighborhood kid told me, "Don't act like a stalker!
I was a gas dryer until I quit my job two years ago due to illness, but now I am at home, so I started drying outside. However, my body did not move as I thought and I could not go to the veranda with the clothes drying on the second floor, so I was troubled by sudden rain, so I asked for a terrace in the garden, but the contractor said that there are few people who dry outside recently, but do you really put it on? I was told.
People nowadays are either room dryers or dryers.
I see ~ It was like that when I was working too. In the future I will be in trouble when I do not wash or dry outside. I thought, I quit the terrace and bought a veranda cover to attach to a vinyl rod. I think that I like the appearance, and I wonder if I should have made it a fashionable shade. There are times when I think, but this is convenient. After all, I thought that it was made exclusively for me.
Children nowadays are accustomed to drying rooms and dryers, so when I see people drying laundry outside, I wonder if I feel that I am watching. That's why the person who posted was said like this? I thought.
Where I live (it's a little far to commute to Tokyo, but it's reasonably convenient to live in, and the countryside is just right for TV location), but my new house doesn't have a terrace to dry outside.I was born in the Showa era, and when I was a child, I went to school while greeting my neighbors who were drying laundry.
私も外干しを続けている者として感じていることがあります。確かに最近の住宅はテラスやベランダに大きな物干しスペースを設けないことが多く、室内干しや乾燥機の使用が一般的になってきました。特に花粉や黄砂などの影響が気になる方も多く、外に干すのを避ける理由も理解できます。 しかし、外干しには心地よい風と自然の太陽光がもたらす清潔感や爽やかさがあり、私にとっては欠かせない習慣です。家の庭に設置したビニール製のベランダカバーは、風通しを確保しつつ急な雨からもしっかり守ってくれるのでとても便利です。物干し竿通し穴のサイズも一般的なものに合わせて作られていて、使いやすさも抜群です。 また、外干しは昭和の「ご近所付き合い」のような温かみ も感じさせてくれ、私のような昭和生まれには懐かしい思い出が蘇ります。今の子供たちは乾燥機や室内干しに慣れているため、外干しの光景が珍しく見えるかもしれませんが、外で洗濯物を干すこと自体がコミュニケーションのきっかけになったり、穏やかな時間を過ごせる瞬間でもあります。 外干しを取り巻く環境は確かに変わりましたが、それでも工夫次第で快適に楽しめる方法がたくさんあると思います。私自身も無理なく続けられるスタイルを模索しながら、自然と共にある生活の魅力をこれからも大切にしていきたいです。
