The pungent aroma emitted from the orange osmanthus trees here and there seems to convey something.
As I approach the tree/
The fragrance becomes language/
O, orange osmanthus tree/

This kind of flower attracts my heart because they look gorgeous but at the same time, they seem fragile and fleeting. When I finally began wondering if they were not blooming this year, they began opening here and there quite suddenly altogether. And soon they go withered.

The other day, when I arrived at my friend’s house very tiredly, she offered me some chocolate quite unexpectedly. I truly felt happy and delighted.
Only one piece of chocolate makes my day.

There is a maqui tree at the entrance of my house that my late mother loved and treasured. Someone told me this kind of tree is considered auspicious, which is why my mother valued it. However, I am really not sure if she knew the trees’ reputation.

I went to Kobe to visit a large-scale exhibition of Japanese-style paintings from the general public where a fantastic work by my long-time very good friend and awarded for excellence was displayed.
In that part of Japan, live my important relatives and a treasured friend from my college days. Naturally, I would love to visit there more often, however, somehow in reality, I only get there once in a while.
