Sea breeze and a music acrylic on canvas 41cm~31.8cm (private collection) Also available Fine-art-printsR137 |
December.Here in the sub-tropical island
of Okinawa,we have no snow,no chilly weather
so it's very hard to wear the winter cloths.Even
though,we really want to have a touch of
Holiday mood.Then,decorate the Christmas
tree and snow-man figure in a house.Cook
the feast and bake a cake,having a good gathering
with family and friends home.How priceless
moments those would be? Happy holidays to all! |

The fire works acrylic on canvas 65cm~53cm (private collection) Also available Fine-art-printsR177 |
Fireworks are the highlights of many Festivals. We who reside in Shuri,are expecting yearly event"Shuri-bunka-sai"(Name changed into"Ryuku-Ocho-Matsuri"recently)on November 3rd(Culture day=Japanese national holiday).Daytime iis nice to walk around on a street closed to car traffic and the Old Ryuku-Kingdom parade are so gorgeous to see. And in the evening,Fireworks shoot up at the Ryutan-pond area. This year,we Japanese strictly think about the victim people and the land of Tohoku-area hit by Tsunami..We deeply pray for all who still in afflictions. Beautiful Fireworks reminds us those things.I just believe the fireworks bring the people kind of.."Power of Consolation & Revival". |

The winds getting slightly cooler..the sunset
getting earlier..Here comes Fall. Although Inside the kitchen was Too hot and hard to work during the summer,now it getting fun to cook with no sweating. Before we start thinking menus,Let's change the clear-glass or white table wares into chic Potteries matching the Autumnal cuisines.Grilled fishes,mushrooms and nice vegetables like eggplants,pumpkins,etc.Boiled rice with chestnuts&Sake is so aurumn delicacy. The Yomitan or Tsuboya pottery places offering us nice potteries like dishes,bowls,cups and pot as well as the vases.Fun to shoose. Nice table ware would make the simple cooking so Delicious! |

However It is already Autumn season,it's
still like mid-summer weather here in Okinawa.In
this tropical island,Outdoor beer-bar or

of it's terrible humidity. Within a month,the wind may get cooler and less sweaty,then we could enjoy the time to have some good wine and light food in a garden or the terrace with no mosquitos! Life is short so it's good.Let's have a relaxing time in beautirul fall. |

Weekend acrylic on canvas 41cm~31.8cm(private collection) Also available Fine-art-printsR168 |
Life time ago in my youth,I used to spent
sparkle night with friends every weekend
like other young agers.Used to be one of
Scene-person around the Dance club,karaoke
and many eating places.Wearing goegeous dresse
and high-heeled shoes are joy and never care
about outing dintance to get to Concert,any
kind of events. Now,I prefer to spend weekend at home.Seeing movies and reading books in our own cozy house is the BEST way for my weekends.Sometimes drive with my lovely car,and take a walk in my nice neighborhood. Age matures a good wine.Not so sparkle things happens but I like current version of Me. At present,I am very much concern about how we could keep our historic,charming town of Shuri.I remenber the beautiful town of San Luis Obispo,CA once I spent days for my group show.The people there looks very satisfied with their own town. We should make effort to keep up our good town! |

A shower on the camping site 41~32 acrylic on canvas (private collection) |
To the Camping-Lovers,tough season comes
at last!We usually imagine the Summer is
beautiful with sunshine,beach is very comfortable,but
once the weather change into Typhoon,things
get in Hell. Whole of our properties will be blown off,every fablics get soaked,we should spend time in a shaky situation. Even though,we could enjoy these terrible,dark side of the Camping as the expected matter. At least,don't forget to carring Rain-boots and Rain jacket!Plus,bring the books & magazines to enjoy"Wasting Time".Happy Camping! |

Paradise View acrylic on canvas 33.3cm~24.2cm(private collection) Also available Fine-art-printsR151 |
Throughout Japan,it is time to consider seriously
about conservation of electricity. As seen in this picture,panoramic ocean view over the thick glass window is just beautiful..We are in a air conditioned room with no sweat,cold drinks and ice are in a refrigerator.We could enjoy DVD and Music all the time.. Why don't we open a window once?Maybe,all the unconfortable things flow in a room at once.Humid air,mosquitos,molds,and one rainfall raise garden trees into Jungle!This is of tropical island. Let's challenge to be a natural person. |

March in okinawa this year was very cold
unlike usual years.Now turn into April,here
comes the beach opening season little by
little. Beach is not only for swimming and diving.On the beach with beautiful sands,we could find hermid crabs,and collect the good shaped shells and beach glass. Around the north part of Okinawa,large marine turtles land through the warm ocean water for spawning on April to May.We people in Okinawa have a heavy responsibility to keep the those beach clean and natural for all creatures(include Human beings!). |

The early spring is beautiful season.We feel
like to renew everything in Spring.Seasonal
change of dresses,Changing form in a house
are felt not enough at our age. We've been live in a same house for over 17years.We've enjoyed raising cheldren and now they are leaving house one by one.Too much stuffs in a house..Isn't is about time to change all? Isn't it great if we could built the tiny,confortable cabin like "Cabanon Le corbusier" in Cap Martin,south france?Maybe someday.

A Meeting acrylic on canvas 33.3cm~24.2cm(private collection) Also available Fine-art-printsR169 |
People usualy get to be busy in Feburuary. Some of them should take Mega time for making the account statements,Tax Return,some of them should take heavy examinations at school,After those difficulties were over,most of all should have kind of MEETINGs toward the coming new term from the Spring.We find the theme,discuss,and make a decision,and trie to realize something.Ordinal conference is good,brain-storming is also good,lunch-meeting is sometimes good.However,as my impression and experience,Nothing would be realized when we decide something at the party or gathering in night time as my impression on experiences! | ||

Ipe-Trees are popular in Okinawa as winter to spring season's blossom trees.They are originally from Brazil and got beautiful bright yellow flowers.Their stems and branches show us very nice figure even when they have no flowers and leaves.As a matter of fact,I am now enjoying vewing Ipe-trees in our neighbor's garden.I am dreaming I could have my own Ipe-tree in my future garden. |
