    On May 13th, a signboard with a traffic safety slogan, which was written as the "difficult" topic in the Tsugaru dialect, was renewed and unveiled with four new works.

    The sign of the traffic safety slogan written in Tsugaru dialect is an initiative that the Aomori Traffic Safety Association/Watoku Branch Traffic Safety Association started about 10 years ago. Currently, about 50 pieces are installed in the Hirosaki City Joto Elementary School (Okubo Nishida, Hirosaki City) school district.

    The masterpiece "Unu-Unu-do Kendawa de Higarero" means "If you hurry across the road, you will be run over by the car." The slogan "Tsugaruben" is often introduced in the media as "difficult for foreigners," and has become a topic.

    According to Mr. Toshiaki Harada of the branch, four road safety slogans are selected from the slogans thought by 6th graders who were promoted in April every year, and are made as signs. "In recent years, the number of slogans in the standard language has tended to increase, so this year we asked for people to think with slogans that use the Tsugaru dialect. The familiar word Tsugaru dialect attracts more attention and leads to traffic safety. No,” says Harada.

    The four newly added works are as follows. "Ignore the signal and turn off the signal (you can't eat your face and ignore the signal)", "Oh, I'm sorry, if you negotiate (you guys, "If you're noisy, you'll hit yourself."", "Don't drive too loudly (don't drive angry and angry, don't drive)." (Looking around because it's dangerous if you hurry up and walk)".

    The four works were placed next to the school gate on the same day. Mr. Harada, who says with satisfaction, "I'm just masterful."

    "The sign of "Unu-Unudo" was newly remade this year. Originally, the old sign will be removed and replaced with a new sign, but it will remain in the Hall of Fame because of its completeness and topicality. I decided to do it again."
