快晴の空高く鳶春近し




A kite wheels


high in the clear sky


Spring is approaching

Sad News

I am very sad to hear the news that French composer Michel Legrand has passed away.

Thank you very much for your graceful music, especially the score for the French film Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) , which is eternal in my mind.

Thank you again and good bye.

I pray his soul may rest in peace.

初釜を終えて和やかティー・タイム　　
　　



After the first Japanese tea ceremony of the New Year,


having a relaxed chat over a cup of tea


with milk and sugar

Sad News

I am very sad to hear the news that Japanese philosopher and historian Takeshi Umehara-san has passed away.

Thank you very much for your a lot of  best-sellers.

Your historical view sent shock waves through many people, especially our high school students reading boring history textbooks for exams at that time.

We were so excited to read your books.

May his soul rest in peace.
