Still in Winter
Kyoto was warm, with small flowers on branches of trees. But here in our town we are still in winter. We did have some warm days and the white covers on the earth are gone. The white water-birds, most of them, are gone. BUT. 2006.04.02 Sunday
A House in a House
Do you see a small house through the round window? That is for young ones to be playing in. What is strange, or special, about the house is that it is in the reading room of a public library, for boys and girls. 2006.04.03 Monday
One More Picture
This is another view of the same house in the library. Do you see bookshelves? It is a reading room in the reading room.

Sign of Spring: No Question
It may be signed with pens, or pen-like plant stems coming up out of the earth. The wind is still cold but the sun is bright and the daytime is longer. I saw these small plants this morning when I was on my way to the workplace. The head-like parts are flowers sending out powder in the air. If you take their short skirts off, the stems will be good in Japanese soups. 2006.05.05 Friday
Fukushima
If you take the quickest train going north from the JR Koriyama Station, you will see that the train before long goes into a dark hole on the side of a mountain. The train may go out on the earth after a while but it will quickly go underearth into another hole and it will go on in the dark. After ten minutes of mostly underearth journey you will come out into a flat place among mountains. That is our town Fukushima. There is a mountain in the middle of the town. You may see it in the picture. The name of the mountain is Shinobuyama. For us it is a great public garden. 2006.07.29 Saturday
Fireworks over the Abukuma
A public event of sending up fireworks took place tonight by the Abukuma River which goes through our town. 2006.08.01 Tuesday
Dance of Lights
A ball of fire goes up in the sky. And, with a burst, it becomes small lights. Then there comes a loud sound. And the lights slowly goes down like snow, going away into the dark. 2006.08.04 Friday
Signs in the Sky
Some fireworks give out forms like letters or penciled pictures. It makes sense, however, to the ones looking at them from one side only. 2006.08.07 Monday
A Flower of Flames
Fireworks seem like flowers. They are beautiful. They come up regularly every year. They are seen for short times. But flowers do not make sound. Fireworks do. 2006.08.13 Sunday
Fire and Smoke
When we see a firework come in front of us, and have an outburst over us, we take little note of the smoke made with the fire. The smoke seems only a part of the dark sky. But a camera has a power to get smoke recorded in the picture. It does not go up in smoke. |
