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.

About two weeks starting a couple of days ago is the season of “cold dews”. It is the time of year when nights are getting longer and the dews feel colder. We will be having more chilly mornings and evenings. However, the air becomes clearer and we will enjoy seeing all the more beautiful moon.

寒露とは、夜が長くなり、露がつめたく感じられるころのことで、2、3日前ぐらいから2週間ほどとされます。朝夕の冷え込みは強くなりますが、空気が澄んで、より美しい月が見られます。

Somehow, at times, Japanese people are not happy with my calligraphy. Therefore, I always hope to have opportunities where people from many other countries get to see my calligraphy.

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.

Self-reliant way of living. I am certain that this should be the ideal attitude for living as a person, however, looking back on my life, I just can’t help noticing that in the first part of my life, I totally relied on my parents and even after that, I couldn’t have survived until now without lots of helps from various kinds of people around me.

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.
