Wednesday May 29th, 2024 (6th Reiwa).
We went to the “Exhibition of Stories of Food and Life” on Sunday, April 28th (held by Soka Gakkai). It was a small event but had excellent content. My grandchildren had a lot of fun, and so did I.My daughter's family and I visited the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden on Wednesday, May 1st. No wonder the place was very crowded during Golden Week. (I like rhinoceros.)
I went to the 70th Anniversary Concert by Arima Thoru and Noche Cubana with a guest appearance by Linda Yamamoto (held by MIN-ON) on Tuesday, May 14th. They are around 70 but still young. So am I. Music makes us feel ten years younger.
I went to a Concert, "Sarah Àlainn Quartet MAY there be Harmony" (held by MIN-ON) on Sunday, May 19th. I couldn't believe my eyes for a moment at that instant. She was just“Maetel (In THE GALAXY EXPRESS 999)” herself, really! Therefore, I was revived by their live music. It is just the power of music.
Thus, during this period, I am busy every year. I was unhappy from the viewpoint of common sense, but there arose a great feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment at the same wonderful.
