Weekly Photo Challenge: Spare

5/28, 20165/28, 2016 tanu

“Spare me the details.”
“There’s never a spare moment!”
“No, no, no, with one minute to spare…”

Seriously? We always have a enough time and to spare but it is not always true. Sometimes it is just difficult to find it, I believe. I’m not an exception. It has been a hard week and I was working from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm everyday. I couldn’t have my time to spend for myself. Where can I see the empty bulletin board on earth.

「細かなことはよしてくれ。」
「空いてる時間なんてどこにあると言うんだ。」
「だめだ、だめだ、だめだ。あとほんのちょとだってのに。」

本当に？いつも時間が足りないというが、いつもその通りだとは限らない。時には見つからないだけだと思っている。今週はひどい週で7時から夜の8時まで働き通しだった。一体どこに空っぽのスケジュールボードがあると言うのか？

Weekly Photo Challenge: Face

This stone statue is Ksitigarbha, Buddhist monk – I have checked with Wikipedia – and 地蔵 in Japan. Exactly saying, it is a mixture of Buddhism and a traditional folk religion. Although today most of people aren’t religious, someone takes care of him everyday, as you see. I have no idea how old it is. At least, his face seems to have got ruined.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Earth

5/7, 2016 tanu

We live on our planet with other everything. One of common and traditional thoughts in Japan is based on an idea that a god (spiritual being) live in any thing, in a stone, tree, mountain, sea, street, house, door and everything here and there. That is, I could say, a myriad of gods.

At least it is true that we LIVE on Earth in Mother Nature.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Admiration

I was born in a small city so far from any airports that, when I was a school boy, I didn’t imagine exactly what ‘abroad’ mean. Though learning foreign language was a regular program of my school, many of students probably didn’t know the reason and I was not uncommon. Consequently I learned how to read English text as just like a procedure and didn’t how to make a conversation with people from abroad. As time went by, needless to say, I became conscious of my narrow perspectives and some of my colleague are working in other countries. Today, I lives in Yokohama, one of the biggest and typical international port cities in Japan, and thinks time to time how was the first people started their international trading here. The harbor was just a beach of a small fishing village 160 years ago and not it has a huge pier which large passenger boat like QE-II of Cunard Line can dock at.
