I love Uchiko 内子大好き. Time flew, and it is already time for me to leave Japan. (Well, actually, I am already in Maui at this moment as I post this posting. I wrote this first sentence when I was about to leave Japan and saved it but did not publish it.). How did it happen? Links to this post. The nig...

When the world around us seems to be spinning fast with all the dust flying up in the air, you can choose to be spinned in it or sit still and watch it (and even entertained) until all the dust settles down, and the spinning slows down to reveal the truth. I'm trying to do the latter. I also have told them, "This ...

Go ahead, release your true essence. You are about to blossom. Yes, you, love. Forgotten childhood dreams awake in a sand castle. What do you see beyond the horizon? Only you would know. Feeling the remanence of a solid matter once lived and flourished. Baldwin Beach, Paia, Maui. Found a mandala drawn by the sun. Throu...

The Relationship between Haiku and Photography 俳句と写真の関係. Taken at 8:53 pm on Dec 6th, 2003. I'm amazed at a feature of digital cameras - showing every photo's very date and time when it was taken. I came to Maui right after finishing high school. Looking back the moment, I think that the challenge I imposed upon myself was my way of prepa...

What Flowers Have Taught Me 花たちが教えてくれたこと. These flowers are blooming around my house. When flowers are open, the air around them seem brighter. There are many things I learn from flowers. Like about being with people's pain. 人の痛みに寄り添うこととか・・・. Flowers have taught me that bravely and gracefulness can coexist. Just be and accept one's fate.

EN and JP - Haiku Poems I Made in February 2月に詠んだ句. 友人が小さいけれど、持ちあまりのする身のしまった紫キャベツをくれた。千切りにして、塩で揉んで、しばらく置いておいた後にボールから持ち上げたら、こんな風に色づいた水があった。「何てきれいなんだろう」と思ってしばしの間、目が離せずにいた。自然の不思議と美を思いながら。 句を詠むときは、静かに心の中に潜る。気持ちが降ってくるのを待つ。そして儚い雪のように舞い降りてくる気持ちを、手の平で受け、溶けないうちに胸に焼き付けて、言葉にする。 The below are the haiku poem I made in the month of February. 昨年の暮れに髪の毛を...
