人と花、海と星 -記録だけになった昨今-

　I attended a Min-On concert titled "Healing Hawaiian Music and Hula Dance" on September 3. This concert commemorated the 60th anniversary of the founding of Min-On and the 155th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Hawaii, as well as the 170th anniversary of Japan-U.S. relations.

　I visited my sixth grandson's kindergarten for a field day with my seventh grandson, who came home on October 7th, on a beautiful fall day. These events, which occur twice in spring and autumn in Japan, are a great source of joy for grandparents, not to mention parents. Of course, with delight, we watched his activities as he ran and danced. Our spirits gradually cleared, much like the sky today. This is happiness for everyone, and therefore, anyone who brings about war is like a devil.
