The Year Of 2010

One sunny and warm day, My feeling was good. And, I ended up going to Mt.Takao

is familiar and close. As everybody knows in all the world, Mt.Takao is the Michelin

☆☆☆mountain. By the way, I am searching for the guy of the below left photo.

This guy, the name is Tengu. Have you met him?  I've never met him in spite of the

frequent visits. Legend has it that he has been living in Mt.Takao from the beginning

and guards the people visit there against danger. From the appearance, he is not

a human. There is a possibility that he is the visitor from Outer space like me.

If so, I need to ask him  " What are you doing here?" If you watched him flying sky,

perching on the branch, sitting on the reserved seat (the right below photo),tasting

Soba (= Noodle), walking on the mountain trail and waiting for someone at the

platform, please let me know. I would appreciate your information.April 24, 2010

The Cherry blossoms

The cherry blossoms in Washington DC, USA. are the most beautiful in the world,

I think. Have you watched they are in full bloom in the riverside of Potomac?

In the year of 1912, A Japanese politician sent the 3,000 saplings as the friendship

between Japan and the United States.  The politician, Yukio(Gakudo) Ozaki won

the 25 elections and had been in the Japanese political world for Sixty-three years.

At the year of the fine gift, he was the mayor of Tokyo. Ozaki is praised as

the father of constitutionalism.

Now, There is another important thing I should mention the celebrated politician.

Yukio Ozaki is also a descendant of the thousand knights Nikko guarded.

Visiting  his place, I remembered Washington DC, USA.   May 7 , 2010

The honorable duty's opening was June, the year of 1652.

It is said that Falling rain welcomed the first knights.  On the rainy day, 2010

A requiem

At night, A small concert was given at the foot of Mt.Takao.

Thirty-five audiences and a performer were there. The performer has the blood

relationship to the great man who organized the thousand knights. Listening to

the pure tone of the flute, I closed my eyes for the 911 victims. In the dark,

heared the voice of Tengu.Sep 11, 2010

I really miss New York. This season, People should be happiest in a year.

Music, Dancing, Smiles, Presents, Food and the People around the stoves....

If I have the wings, I will go over the Pacific Ocean, the mountains, the woods,

the deserts and the rivers to grasp my happiness at the second home town.

Peace on Earth

The New Year's Eve of 1999, I was just standing on the close Times Square in

New York, USA and celebrated Millennium. When People let out the cheer,

Something moving welled up in my heart. 21st century has just come!!

Wishing You all the coming Year filled with Peace and Happiness
