【From Ichisuke, the Lumber King, the Path of Gratitude Continues】

【From Ichisuke, the Lumber King, the Path of Gratitude Continues】 It began with ICHISUKE AGARI — 市祐 — born on June 17, 1883. He left Meiji-era Japan and crossed the sea to the forests of Davao in the Philippines, where he lived with the trees. He cut timber, he carried timber, he sent wood across the world. But he was never just a man who sold wood. He walked into the forest, stood upon the earth, and faced the people who lived there. He knew — more than anyone — that life itself was a gift from nature. That is why, even as he was called “The Lumber King,” he carried deep gratitude for the land, for the trees, and for the people who worked beside him. Beside him stood ALINGAN IDIANON, born April 2, 1890. On April 14, 1912, they became husband and wife and were blessed with nine children. Their eldest daughter was ROMONA AGARI CHIYOKO, born January 10, 1914. Their third child was MINORU AGARI, born October 30, 1920. Romona and Minoru — sister and brother. The same father, Ichisuke. The same mother, Alingan. Minoru later married AURORA YAMASHITA (Sachiko), born February 27, 1928. Their daughter was Maria Maddalena, born November 27, 1951. And her son is Mountain Mouth Mercy, born March 17, 1982. Meanwhile, Romona married JOSE DARVIN, born January 11, 1912. Their son was JOSE JR, born March 20, 1939. He married GUADALUPE BALON, born December 12, 1946. And their son is JOHANN PETER DARVIN, born February 8, 1977. Two branches growing from sister and brother. Their grandchildren — Johann and Mercy. Second cousins. But more than that — two branches of the same tree. Just as Ichisuke gave thanks to the forest, Mercy, without even knowing why,🌈 began giving thanks to the land. In 2010, at age twenty-eight, he began clearing and caring for the path to Yazuryū Shrine in his hometown of Suō-Ōshima. No one told him to. He simply felt “I want to make it beautiful.” In 2020, during the pandemic, he restored the land of Kitorimoana, cutting bamboo, lighting fires, standing face to face with nature. As a fisherman, he thanks the sea. As a musician, he thanks the people. Perhaps the quiet river of gratitude that flowed through the Lumber King, Ichisuke, still flows through him. A great-grandfather who gave thanks to the forest. A great-grandson who gives thanks to the sea and the mountains. Johann preserves photographs. Mercy weaves stories through music. Different places. Different lives. But the same trunk. From June 17, 1883 — Ichisuke. To January 10, 1914 — Romona. To October 30, 1920 — Minoru. To March 20, 1939 — Jose Jr. To November 27, 1951 — Maria. To February 8, 1977 — Johann. To March 17, 1982 — Mercy. Across more than a century, the branches meet again. From the forests of Davao to Saitama, to Suō-Ōshima. As Ichisuke once sent timber to the world, his descendants now send gratitude. The story of the man called the Lumber King has not ended. It lives on in hearts that give thanks to the earth, to the sea, and to one another. And the melody continues. #Gratitude #FamilyRoots #AgariLegacy #AcrossGenerations #FromForestToSea #LumberKingIchisuke #SecondCousins #IslandToIsland #LivingHistory
