I've just been surfing looking for fellow Murakami fans and found you. I'm a friendly guy, mellow by nature and have gotten into Asian art lately. Mostly WOng Kar-Wai and Chinese movies but some Japanese movies too. I watched Chushingura last night and wondered... well why did they have to all die in the end? I mean they did their own thing by revenging their lord, why not just ride off into the sunset?

I enjoyed your postings here. Looking for friends all over the world.

I just started this blogger but have had my own web pages for about 12 years now.

Take care.

Neco,

Thanks for posting on my newly started blog. I will learn from your pictures and post original size so when people click on them they are bigger and more detailed.

I am starved for reading. I am reading Yasunari Kawabata but he really is before my time. Of all the Japanese authors you listed who would you recommend for someone like me who has read and reread Murakami's books and is looking for someone else to read. I have to have a good book to read!

PS your food looks yummy too.

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

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...
