Somehow my late mother loved the event of Halloween. I wonder if she found those pumpkin decorations cute.

亡母はどういうものか、ハロウィーンという行事が大好きでした。カボチャとかが可愛いと思ったのかしら。

The seasonal phrase for this time of year is “it drizzles from time to time”. We may be going into this kind of season especially in mountainous areas.

この時期の七十二候の名称は「霎時施」で、小雨がときおり降るという意味のようです。確かにそのような時期に入ってきているのかもしれません。とりわけ山あいの地域では。

I practiced with the old models my first teacher gave me years ago yet again. It makes me feel nostalgic and warm inside. How fortunate I have always been since birth!

初めの先生から何十年も前にいただいたお手本で、またも練習しました。すると、とても懐かしくて、暖かい心持ちになります。私は生まれたときからずっと幸せだったのだなと思うのです。

I found a modern haiku about silver grass and I thought it would make a beautiful post. So, I went to a place where I find beautiful “waves” of windblown silver grasses every fall. However, somehow the scene wasn’t as beautiful as I had expected.

ススキの現代俳句を見つけました。これで綺麗な投稿ができると思ったのですが、毎年綺麗なススキの波が見えるところに行っても、どういうものか今年はそれほど綺麗ではありませんでした。

I wrote「輝」on a normal kind of paper for calligraphy the other day. This postcard has the same letter and what you find beside it are my new business card and another card with translation of the character. I always submit this set for a postcard collection to be displayed and sold.

The seasonal phrase for this time of year is this and apparently, it means “first frost of year”. However, “frost” still seems a little unrealistic to me. We have been exposed to sudden chillness these several days in Kyoto, though.

この時期の七十二候の名称です。けれども「霜」はまだ少し実感が湧かないようにも思えます。京都ではこのところ急に肌寒くなっているのですが。

Nowadays from time to time, you find some calligraphic works that are stylish but just superficial-looking. In the meantime, I have always been trying to pursue something genuine, that is, genuine calligraphy supported by its long history and tradition. Someone that made me realize this once again said something more to me, “You should do both, because you are capable of doing both.”

一見ファッショナブルだけど・・・と思う書作品がときとして見受けられます。私自身は、書の長い歴史や伝統に裏付けされた本物を追求していかなければとずっと頑張っています。そして、改めてそのことに私の注意を向けてくださった方は、しかし、更にこんなこともおっしゃいました。「貴女は両方が出来るのだから、両方をすればいいのよ」と。

I practiced copying the calligraphy by my first teacher’s wife. She had always won my ultimate respect. Years ago, after the practice session, quite suddenly she said to me, “Don’t be angry at idiots. You must not let those idiots disturb you.” Then she went on, “If you have time for that, use the time to read good books and talk with good friends who will enhance you as a person.” How astonished I was then! “Why does she know?” In those days I sure had been indignant at my workplace and the people there. However, I had never mentioned that at the calligraphy school. That was NOT because I thought as a student it was not desirable for me to talk with the teacher and his wife something of the sort, BUT simply because I had never thought of doing that. There certainly are some people who don’t understand me in the least, even though they actually see me often. As for her, she only met me a couple of times a month and I never said anything meaningful and significant. Now, you see why she had been and will be forever winning my greatest respect.

初めの先生の奥さまの書の臨書です。彼女は永遠に私の憧れの女性です。昔々、お稽古後に彼女は突然『アホ相手に怒ってたらアカンよ。アホはほっとき』とおっしゃいました。そして『そんな時間があったら、良い本を読んだり、話をする価値のある良い友だちと話をしていなさい』と。心底びっくりしました。この人は何故それを知っているのか？ 私が日々アホに対して怒り続けているということを。私は稽古場で職場に対する不満や怒りなどを話したことはありません。稽古場はそういう場ではないと自粛していたのではなくて、そういう話を稽古場でするということ自体を単に思い付かなかったからです。私という人間を実際に目の当たりにして、日々会っていて、それでも私を全く理解していない人は大勢います。ところが、この人は月に2度ほど私に会うだけで、そして何も言わない私の実情を見事に見抜いていました。憧れの女性です。

I have received a number of responses to my request to my readers to tell me their favorite characters or words. This time it is “brilliancy” or “splendor”. I guess everyone wants to lead a life full of brilliance.
