Beanland Legend - Beanland Legend
According to the Icelandic sagas, Greenlandic colonists Leif the Red's son and his companions discovered a series of lands to the west of Greenland. Geographical descriptions suggest that these lands are the eastern coast of the North American continent. On the southernmost island, grapes grow wild and salmon live in the rivers, and attempts were made to colonize the area, but failed. The island was called Vínland, with "bean" referring to grapes. For the Norsemen seeking new lands, the coexistence of grapes, a symbol of the south, and salmon, a delicacy of their homeland, was a utopia.

アイスランドのサガによれば,グリーンランド植民者である赤毛のエイリークの息子レイブらは,グリーンランドの西方に一連の土地を発見した。地理的描写からみると,これらが北アメリカ大陸東岸であると考えられる。そのうち最南部の島ではブドウが自生し,川にはサケがいたとされ,やがて植民が試みられたが失敗した。この島はビーンランドVínlandと呼ばれ,ビーンはブドウのこととされている。新たな土地を求める北欧人にとって,南方のシンボルであるブドウと,彼らの故国の美味であるサケの共存は理想郷である。
