Mother and Daughter

The happiest couple on earth, 
is mother and daughter.

My mother had me when she was 21 year old.
Now we are living separetly,  she is in Osaka, I'm in Tokyo,
but we see often in our hometown or travel not far away city together. 

When I see mom & daughter couple on the street,
I speak to myself 'What a peaceful scene.'

They release a good vibration around them.

Here is a story.

We used to be Soldiers at Roman times.
Not a high class but lower ones who must go to the front at fighting.

Eulalius and I, Boniface were orphans.
He was 8 years older than me. 
We were lonely existence but loved each other and were happy.

Eventually people were getting to notice about us and making fun of it.
We were hesitate to even talk in front of people.
Because they went over react on it.
Not such freedom was forgiven.

I just loved to talk with him. 

One day I made some silly mistake and was accused by superior.
Eulalius protected me but it brought the superior's anger and he was sent to the heavy fighting place.
Soon after I applied for joining but when I got there the battle was over and there were full of fallen soldiers.

I searched Eulalius, turning over each dead bodies in tears.
Finally I found him. 
An arrow caught him and the body was cold.

There was no other choice.
I stabbed my chest with a sword.

We came to the world to spend time together.
We chose to became parent and child to lengthen out the time.

Folding Keyboard Ryudo

Today is Aquarius new moon. Write down 10 wishes on the paper or note. Handwriting is key. This is folding keyboard, the maker is Ryudo. I was interested, but hadn't had long years. Because I have laptop. But we don't bring computers daily, do we? So I started to think, if I had that, I might write more often... Before buying it, I investigated which keyboard was the best as there were so many kinds. First of all, It has to be light, otherwise, it will stay at home. And thought of the place where I mostly would use... it would be on a train, not a cafe as I commute long hours every day. So it has to be small and quiet.  I don't want to bother others. If I use a keyboard on my bag when I seat, my iPhone needs to place to stand, Ryudo is compact, ideal typing and has a stand. It's not very strong but enough to hold my iPhone 7 plus. One thing I cared was that Ryudo was battery powered not chargeable. So I looked over all ot

Oh Japanese..

I've been reading Hard boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami lately. His expressions are soooo good that I can't help making a note while I'm reading. His descriptions are amazing. I read the book on the commuting train and if there's any line that I am impressed, I take out my mobile and text it to my PC e-mail. Thus, I'm busy on the train, especially my commuting hour has been shorted since I moved. I miss long time train trip a bit. My neighbourhood photos. -Japanese- 今村上春樹の『世界の終わりとハードボイルドワンダーランド』を読んでいます。 彼の表現力は素晴らしくてついついメモをとってしまいます。 彼の本は評価が好きな人は大好き、良さが分からない、と分かれますが 私は彼の表現に感動する事が多いです。 通勤電車の中で読んでいて、素敵だ、と思うラインがあると 携帯を取り出し自分のパソコンにメールをしてしまいます。 なので電車でとっても忙しい・・。 引っ越して通勤時間が短くなってしまったので 以前のような長い通勤時間も懐かしい気がします。

-The book is a structure- Walter Crane

The 19th-centry English illustrator Walter Crane    (15 August 1845 – 14 March 1915)  was one of the first artists to produce illustrations for full-color "toy books".    " The book is a structure," he  emphasized  the importance of designing book. "This beautiful house is a structure of lines and colors," Crane often compared books to buildings.  He was particular about the design of entire page, and the illustration artist's arm was not one illustration, but the spread page itself as well as the book itself. Think of it as an architect who designed a house, considering the overall balance of the two-page spread by the power of design. Crane was concerned with the formative beauty and decorative nature which the document originally had. That beautify the page, cooperation and harmonious collaboration of harmony in the perfection of the illustrator decorator what is was thought to produce a beautiful book.
