On the Latest News about the Meijin Tournament for Shogi
Challenger Amahiko Sato, a eighth-degree player, beat Meijin Yoshiharu Habu and won the Meijin title. Wow!
I was very surprised at Sato's offensive tactics in this tournament. He was previously well-known to his defensive strategy. What made him change?

"Every dictionary is already out of date at the time of its publication."
☆I love reading dictionaries. So am I also out of date? Hmm...Certainly, I don't know almost all the teenage stars nowadays. I haven't recently watched TV programs in the first place. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

「朝九時半。青い眩しい空。建物いっぱいに光っている日ざし。中庭の濡れたコンクリート。空気は冷たい。モンパルナス大通りで朝刊紙を買い、ポール・ロワイヤルからバスに乗る。日ざしはすでに暑い。日かげの空気は冷たく、ひえびえと湿りを含んでいる。ソルボンヌの事務室にゆく。リュクサンブールの人気ない林の奥に、光が落ちている。」
（辻邦生『パリの手記Ilー城そして象徴』より）
Japanese novelist Kunio Tsuji once wrote down in his Paris diary as follows:
"It was half past nine in the morning. The sky was dazzling blue. The sunlight made the whole surface of the building shine. The concrete wall facing the court got wet. The air was cold. I bought a newspaper on the main street of Montparnasse and got on a bus from Port-Royal-des-Champs Abbey. The rays of the sun was already strong. The air in the shade was cold and humid. I went to the office of the Sorbonne. The sunlight was spilling in the depths of the grove of Luxembourg Park where there was no sign of life."

Impressive Haiku Poem
プラタナス夜もみどりなる夏は来ぬ
石田波郷
Realizing the plane trees
in fresh verdure even in the night
Summer has come
Hakyo Ishida
☆管理人は波郷の流派にある者ではありませんが、夏を迎えた躍動感、句の持つリズム感、表現技法、何をとっても「立夏」を詠み、この句を超えるものを未だ知りません。
☆昭和7年作、時に波郷、二十歳。上京し、師・水原秋桜子を訪ね、希望に胸をふくらませていた時の作。その後に待ち受ける戦争、応召、結核発病、大手術、入退院という人生を未だ波郷は知らず。明日は立夏。

My Memory through a Dictionary
"To bring ping-pong balls back to like that have been dented, just place them in hot water for 15-20 minutes."
☆This sentence reminded me of my elementary school days when we enjoyed playing ping-pong in the noon recesses, after school hours, and even during between-classes recesses. We sometimes stepped on the balls by accident and dented them. When that happened, our seniors said such words as cited above. A nostalgic memory.
