This is good news from my friend’s flowering garden. She says passion flowers began blooming. I feel a mysterious kind of attraction from the flowers.

My friend in a faraway country which I visited for the first time in six years gave me a lot of ballpoint pens as gifts. You will find things in a somewhat different design when you are in a different place. However, its Chinese expression, “pen with a ball at the end” is just the same as the English word “ballpoint pen”, which I found very intriguing.

6年ぶりに訪れた遠い国の友人が、ボールペンをたくさんプレゼントしてくれました。ところ変われば、少し違うデザインも見受けられるようです。が、ボールペンの中国語表記を見ると、ペン先に丸い玉が付いているということで、英語のballpoint penと同じなのが面白いと思いました。

I thought sour flavor would be nice in this weather of extreme heat. So, I bought lemons and tried to make homemade lemonade only to get something just too acidic.

I enjoyed watching a movie about a famous illusionism artist; his life, art, and mathematics, as well.
Now I have a variety of things on my mind, but here I will only say it was a lot of fun.
I think people want to be cheated in not a very serious way, that is.

『書縁』
“Connections between people created through calligraphy”
They come from all directions. From one direction and then, another and they encounter each other and link together. As I am getting older and older, those connections are becoming more and more intricately interrelated.

When I asked for a favorite letter or word, someone instantly answered this phrase. Because “winter certainly turns into spring”, we should be patient for some more time and then try hard, even if we are having much difficulty at the moment.

I chose this phrase as a motif for my calligraphy work from a website about Zen words. I learned the passage says that falling flowers, flowing water, moving clouds and sound of flutes don’t adhere to anything; they just come and disappear without leaving any traces.

The seasonal phrase for the latter half of March is this, “sparrows start building nests”. Because I live quite near Tadasunomori, every morning I hear lots of birds chirping and singing. Birds have always been familiar to me. And suddenly I had this idea that this deserves to be celebrated. That is why I took the photo of my work with a glass with some Japanese saké.
