Diary

One morning, I was walking as if to follow the bright vermilion coloured Rhododendron Kampferi that bloom here and there in the forest.

Hello again, we were waiting for you.
We have kept making our own nest little by little.

I have made a dye shelf that I was wishing for.
Until recently, dyes were bound together or placed in cardboard boxes and were left in a storehouse or under the eaves but now they are grouped in one place and sorted in the shelf to make them visible at a glance.

After the workshop of “Herbarium of the Senses vol. 01 Mugwort” held on April 24, I left home for a while for some business, and just came back last night.
I finally have time to enjoy the beauty of mountains, fresh green of spring and the plump double-flowered cherry in full bloom.
I will be writing about the details of the workshop but I would like to express my appreciation before I start.

Tiny flowers came out in the garden of my house.

I took a walk in the forest with my daughter on a pleasant holiday with a clear sky.
The place is near to the nursery school and my daughter walks freely ahead of me, assuming that she’s been here and walked around many times with her teacher and friends.

“When I was in Ina, it was so cold at night that I couldn’t keep my face out of the comforter. Here, I can put my face out of it.”
My friend Akiko SATO, who came to Hokuto-shi, Yamanashi Prefecture before us and has lived here for six years, said cheerfully.

When I was having lunch with my friends the other day, one of them, who was a younger gentleman of plants/minerals artist, praised my hands and I was jumping for joy secretly.

A place I used to live and a place I live now, two important places I go back and forth.
