Even if September in Japan is known as a
bigining of Fall season, it is still
steamy
summer in the tropical island Okinawa.And
yet,we feel the air in the early morning
and late night comes a little bit cooler
very slowly.We recognize that here
comes
the time to go camping or outside-beer

Breeze would be mild and the mosquitos
would
be less. As fall season's events,Eisa-dancing,Shi-shi-mai,Tsuna-hiki and more of cultural events would be jammed. Those atractions are organized by the young guys in each town or villeges and they are practicing very hard to show us the best action.

tradition to celeblate the children's

The wall painting acrylic on canvas 33cm×24.2cm |
GRAFFITI ART is known as one of the art jenre
nowadays. A couple of decades ago,Soho or Harlem area of NYC is full of those graffiti paintings on the every walls of the old ruined buildings. Recently, those buildings have been renovated and reverse as a brand new,more stylish ones. There seems no space to scribble on anymore. Even if somebody prepared the wall to scribble for the graffiti artists, it's not exciting anymore. Actually, the real thrill of the scribbling is to paint something on the forbidden space!(but don't do that. it's against Law.) |

A riverside town acrylic on canvas 53cm×45.5cm |
Once we get on a train or drive ourselves
along with the Hudson River toward
the upstate
of NY,we found a gread country veiw
that
is truly different from Manhattan.The
various
kind of farms and markets,vineyards
and restaurants
welcome us. In the towns by the river,we
can find nice small shops like antique
shops
and cafes.Family owned Inns offer us
confortable
time.We can also enjoy museums. When we walk around those peaceful,quiet street with great natures,sometimes think about our Lifestyles. The cities or the countryside. If we could choice more easily where to live,that would be wonderful! |

In a library acrylic on canvas 33.3cm×24.2cmSushi-Bar |
Today,the library seems be replaced by tecnoligies
like google when we want to reserch
something.
We often prefer sitting in front of
each
one's PC than change cloths and go
out for
reading books and search articles and
documents
in the library. But wait,the public library contains great collections of all kind jenres of books and we could ask help for the librarians when we can't find the books. In case we take children to there,we could get some advise about the books suits for them.Occasionally,we can join in the nice Story Time programs. Amazingly,Whole of those kind of services are Free. Anyhow,let's think about using libraries more often. I like the smell of books and quiet moments in the library, and like to find nice,old fasioned heavy books for arts, histories and more we could never find and purchase nowadays.Enjoy reading! |

Sushi-Bar acrylic on canvas 27.3cm×22cm (private collection) |
In the year-end days,we sometimes feel like
to have Sushi at the cozy Sushi-bar
counter
avoiding noisy year-end parties. Sushi&Sake
with quiet bar are very nicely matching
with
thinking about coming new year. Well,what will be our ambitions to do in this(little bit tough,maybe) new year? We probably have to control our minds rightly to do our works.When we suffer from something and could never be able to find the right answer by ourselves,let's talk with the family, friends and teams.We sometimes could find the answer than we expect. We human beings are not perfect.We need others and that would be fine! A Happy New Year to all!! |
