A Sketch of the Day

I had a supper in a Indian restaurant near my house. Beside my table two foreigners drink.One of is a man who drank a bottle of Kirin beer. And the other is a woman who drank a thin glass of orange juice.

They look very intelligent and educated and talked under intimate atmosphere. I believe the language they spoke is French. I don't fully understand it but its resonance is very unique and their voice sounds very comfortable for me.

A sketch of a day of Shibuya

Shibuya is very memorial city for me because I studied here and Kokugakuin, my university is located in.

Today's Shibuya is darkest I have ever seen. Too many people walking to entrance of the station are not energetic. I don't prefer to craziness of but now monotonous landscape makes me downer.

We know our lives are sometimes very tired because of their business. But I have never imagined this harmful tragedy. It's not doubtful that State of Japan is falling down and I think it's the very time that this country is changing.I feel the beginning of drumming like Art Blakey. His volcanic rhythm has kind of hope and silence coming from the depth of the sea with us, human being.

History says calmly that true modernization haven ever been finished. Because we have to be better and better being as possible as our lives should go on.

Recently I draw these crazy pictures

Photos taken in Okinawa

For a little trip to Okinawa

My family and I go on trip to Okinawa for this weekend. And yesterday I bought a compact digital camera EX-300Z of CASIO.

I have stayed in Okinawa once. It was 12 years ago, when I was a high school student and younger than today;-)

Spring has come...

In Japan, especially Kanto area, Spring has come this year too. Most of Japanese like seeing Cherry Blossoms.Actually they like to chat and drink on the pretext of seein' Cherry Blossoms (this is a kind of traditional. see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanami).


Every year I feel uneasiness and blue during this season. I wonder why my mind become such a status.I believe that some parts of this reason depend on my cultural background and changing weather.

Ippei will leave Tokyo

Recently I seldom speak or write English...
Yeah, every day I speak and write Japanese...
Itsumo Osewani Natte Orimasu... Such a kind of thing.

One of my best coworkers in my office, Ippei left it yesterday.
Next month he will move out Toyama, which is located in Chubu religion.
It is along the Japan-sea coast and there are many mountains too.
I think it is very nice place that he begin his new life with his wife.His hobbies, climing mountains, fishing, hiking...such a kind of things!
Toyama will fit him well.

Yeah, but,frankly speaking, little bit...lonely...I feel.

He done many helps for me at work and it made me wiser.
In lunch time, We had many cups of coffee and smoked together.
Yeah, It was very natural thing because we were coworkers.
It ended.

But new relationship began today.
Generally we call it friendship.
We will meet again in Tokyo next month
And I'm plannning to take a trip to Totama to visit him
and see the land my grandfather was born.

We know our lives go on and many things change!
