Thinking of “Going further than you ever thought possible” certainly makes me happy. However, actually uttering “genkai toppa” will make me more excited.

「限界突破」。もちろんその意味にも喜びは溢れていますが、「ゲンカイトッパ」と発音したときにはもっと嬉しさを感じてしまいます。

Although pink carnations are out of season, somehow, I found a lot of them at a florist and bought some. My calligraphy is “pink carnation” in Chinese and their flower languages; which are gratefulness, elegance and warm-heartedness.

Chinese lantern plants are often offered to the deceased ancestors during the Bon period. They may be more like a symbol of the period, I think.
O Chinese lantern plants/
If missed this time/
Would never meet again/

This word, “true me,” if you like, was derived from an ancient Indian religion. The word can be reworded as “veritable self” extracted from thanking honestly. Additionally, it is a synonym for “satori.”

A good friend of mine, her elementary school girl and I went to the Kanji (Chinese character) Museum. We had a lot more fun than we expected. I have always taken a great interest in how Chinese characters and characters in general were born and developed, such as hieroglyphs and other ancient letters. The museum provides not only various displays but games and quizzes that both adults and children enjoy tremendously.

知り合いと、小学生になるそのお嬢さんと一緒に漢字ミュージアムを見学しました。期待をはるかに超えて、大変面白い博物館でした。私は以前から、象形文字など漢字や文字自体の生まれ・成り立ちに大いに興味がありましたし、この博物館には、さまざまの展示があるだけでなくて、ゲームやクイズなど大人も子供も楽しめる仕掛けがたくさんありました。

One of my good friends is a photographer. She says she takes people’s portraits to be used for their funerals and memorial services afterward. I have been thinking about when and how I should ask her to take my photo. Many things come to my mind, such as whether I should wear the sweater my late mother used to love.
O autumn wind/
Late mother in the photograph/
Has rouged cheeks/

Because of this extreme heat, I had some shaved ice for the first time in years, and I remembered my old piece, which I have always loved.
If forgetting should be people’s gentleness, I may not be very gentle.
