Sora (Sky) ga (is) Kirei(Beautiful)

It was windy day, which was a collaboration of typhoon and rainy season front.
I enjoyed clouds were so big and changed their shapes quickly.

I've been anxious, easy to depress or angry after the earth quake.
However there seems a sign of recovery.

My worries come from inside of myself.
And only I can change them into other factors.

we don't hear much or see pictures about the areas affected anymore. the media only seems to emphasize sensational things then just drops them and goes on to something else. I would love to see more stories of how people are coping, and recovering.

glad you are still writing and taking pictures :-)

Mark, thanks.
I just saw TV (NHK) documents that elementary school kids write essay about 3.11.
Some of kids don't want to face it yet, but some of them want to challenge it.
One boy wrote that he met a huge tidal wave when he was with his mother to pick up his little sister.
Someone shouted 'Get up!', so he climbed the steps of the building.
Soon after the wave came over.
From there, he was watching that someone was swimming for a little while, but he/she drowned.
This boy doesn't describe his feeling at all, but write what he had seen. He's father died from the Tsunami thought, he only said 'I want to be a base ball player as dad was.'
What experience they have been through.
I wish them strength and gods blessing.

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.

Blackout Threatened

It's very cold day. The consumption of electricity has been increasing due to heating. There's rolling blackouts due to electricity shortages caused from Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., divided Kanto region into five groups and have been carrying out stop electric power for a few hours in order. Plan was not informed in advance, which gave people confusion. During blackout, traffic light is out of service, there was a fatal traffic accident due to that. My friend took a photo of drinking scene under candlelight At the office, there was an emergency company broadcast at 4:30 pm today. They said 'There might be unpredictable huge blackouts tonight due to lack of supply of electricity according to METI. There will be chance of confusion of transportation therefore go home immediately'. Trains in Tokyo running every few minutes so accurately, and if there's any unusual things such as blackout, it will be a serious con...

Lost in Translation

There are frequent questions for foreigners who visit in Japan such as 'Can you use chopsticks?' or 'Do you eat Natto ?'. And relatively one of the latest might be 'Have you ever watched Lost in Translation?'. And interesting thing is that people who are familiar with Japan well or live in this country for a long time didn't really like that movie. (Including me) I was asked by my friend why, I replied that Sofia Coppola emphasized strange things of Japanese a little bit too much. The Japanese hooker didn't have to be that old woman with such degrading English. The director must have intended it to compare to the heroine who was young and a white beautiful girl. By the way, I and my other friend went to the bar at Park Hyatto in Shinjyku to experience Lost In Translation in last January. The hotel was splendid. All these three picture were being taken by her camera.
