Back to Nature

It is fine today. The wind does not blow. It was a warm day. The last day of the year. I went shopping this morning. I went to the direct sale place of the farmhouse on the way and bought fresh vegetables. Japanese mustard spinach. Spinach. A leek. The pickle of the Japanese radish. The pickle of the turnip. The pickle of the Chinese cabbage. I blanch spinach now. I eat New Year's Eve's buckwheat noodle at night. After having watched NHK Red and White Singing Contest. While hearing ringing bells on New Year's Eve. It is a special day today. I will watch the sky from now on until dusk. The human being comes back to Nature, too.

A little happiness

It is fine this morning. The wind does not blow. It is relatively cold morning.

This year was finally coming to an end.

Did anything happen this year?

We remember only a sad, tense thing.

Probably we can be convinced that it will be the repetition of the same thing next year.

1979/3/28 U.S.A. Pennsylvania Three Mile Island (level 5).

1986/4/26 former Soviet Union Chernobyl (level 7).

2011/3/11 Japan Fukushima (level 7)

1999/9/30 Japan Tokai-mura, Ibaraki (level 4).

(Japan, lower than level 3)

1973/3The Kansai Electric Power Mihama first unit.

1978/11/2The first Fukushima third unit.

1991/2/9The Mihama Nuclear Power Plant second unit.

1995/12/8 fast breeder.

1999/6/18 The Hokuriku Electric Power Shiga Nuclear Power Plant first unit.

2004/8/9The Kansai Electric Power Mihama third unit.

2010/8/26 fast breeder.

Do we have the ambition toward the next year?

Health. Healing. Love. The status quo. A new plan. Rest. The departure. A leap. etc.

The human being should find the richness within one's income.

The frustration will be settled among oneself!

We must not hit many outlets elsewhere.

Songfulness and the arrogance are prohibited.

We expect a little happiness.

Let's take a rest a little!

It is fine this morning. The wind does not blow. It is relatively cold morning. The life does not have the decided course. We decide it and advance each time. There is none of the people who can evaluate the decision objectively. There is not a standard. The decision affects life and death in the world of the wild animals and plants. Wild animals and plants get over a crisis by instinct and experience. The human being decides it for life and death in a social life. The most of the life and death are love, position and honor, wealth, etc. They are trifling self-satisfaction. In other words it is worldly desires of the Buddhism. The Christian original sin. etc. All of them are the problems that cannot be settled in this world. National chaitya hit ringing bells on New Year's Eve all at once every year in Japan on the last day of the year. Each temple hits 108 times of bells. Ringing bells on New Year's Eve seem to destroy 108 worldly desires. We made various decisions this year. Personal problems doing not matter for another person. And this work will continue next year. We understand that the thing is meaningless. Let's take a rest a little! Nekogahora rues de Nagoya et Yokohama Atsugi promenade

It was a really comfortable day!

It is fine today. The wind does not blow. It was a relatively warm day. I must do a mop-up of this one year. A year-end mode contained our feeling. It is a feeling somehow for winter vacation. I soak the pickle of the turnip in vinegar after a long absence while listening to favorite music. They are very sour! The boiled beans of the peanut without the salt are delicious, too! I boil them a lot in summer and refrigerate them. I go to buy the grip tape of the tennis racket after having eaten lunch. It was a really comfortable day!

First of all

It is fine this morning. The wind does not blow. It is very cold morning. Christmas is over in 12/25 in Japan. When Christmas is over, the Japanese begins seeing the old year out and greeting the New Year preparations from the next day. They are general cleaning and year-end big sale, visit to a grave, etc. The Japanese TV programs have begun to run summary versions of this year, too. This time is quite busy every year. Anyway because it is another six days. I must prepare for the New Year's Eve's buckwheat noodle. Greeting the New Year needs the round mirror-shaped rice-cake, too. I substitute Christmas wreath for a Shinto straw festoon from this year. Because the feeling is the same. Let's go for year-end big sale first of all! I am very fun!

Our this Christmas

It is fine this morning. The wind does not blow. It is cold morning. Merry Christmas! Quiet Christmas begins in Japan. There were a great earthquake disaster and a tsunami, a nuclear plant accident this year in Japan. There is still a lot of missing people caused by the tsunami. Most of victims live on temporary houses. The radioactive contamination by the nuclear plant accident is serious, too. Inhabitants of the neighborhood of nuclear power plant which caused an accident are evacuated by the government. Illuminations disappeared from most houses of the all over Japan. It is Christmas of mourning and the mercy this year. Eve last night was clean starlit sky in this district. After having drawn off laundry, I watched stars for a while. The quiet night when stars shine. The thought of our this Christmas continues forever.

A birthday

It is fine this morning. The wind does not blow. It is relatively cold morning. On December 23, His Majesty the Emperor reached a birthday. His age became 78 years old. Approximately 25,000 people came for a celebration in the Imperial Palace. We could have a look at figures of His Majesty the Emperor and empress and found happiness.
