Lately, I found a lot of grapes next-door. They are still tiny yellow green, but they certainly take the shape grapes. A bit about a story of this grapevine. When I was a child, my neighbor planted one grapevine in the garden for their new house as a memorial. At that time, they used to make jam out of them. In a tea break, I enjoyed having them with childhood friends. Meanwhile, when I was a

It sometimes rains and clears up repeatedly in a day. I don't know why although when it rains, the sky is azure completely. I feel that the sun shine is much stronger than usual. I guess it causes global warming. How was the color of the sky above you today? Affecting it, the color of the contrast with fresh green leaves and raindrops are shining beautifully like a jewel. For me, the raindrops

I bought a Moleskine notebook at the end of 2008. I forget about it. When I looked though my bookshelf this afternoon, I found it. As soon as I picked it up, I just wanted to paint something. Without thinking, I painted this. " Just circle" :) I don't know why I couldn't stop drawing circles, but, cute, isn't it?In my head, I always imagine like this. I'm a dreamer. Someday, I wanna paint a

Luckily, I could have a tea break with doughnuts without having line up at a shop, krispy Kreme, in Shinjyuku. Usually, there are many people in a queue. As it was a rainy day, there were no people. I mean that there was only one person in front of the shop. Namely, me. :) Though I don't like this confectionery so much, as I've never tried to have it before, I tried to enter the shop out of

Hi there!Long time no talk. ;)In Japan, it's rainy season. Soon, hydrangea will blossom everywhere. This picture is my image of a rainy day. In the rainy day, I'm usually reading a book. I read 5 or 6 Japanese books last month. That's the way I spend in these days. I feel that I am in water and don't know why I calm down in the rainy day. Blue has such power. Now, I feel blue and violet with the

Now, in Japan, it's spring! All kinds of plants are coming into bloom everywhere. We have one of them, Japanese butterbur scape. This is known as a traditional Japanese dish. Here's the recipe.Preparation : 5 butterburs, miso (2 tablespoons), Japanese sake (1 tablespoon), mirin (1 tablespoon), sugar (1 teaspoon)Note : If you don't have any mirin, you can substitute sugar.[ Recipe : Fukimiso

Do you watch the baseball game, WBC?Actually, I'm a bit tired to watch it. Surprisingly, Japan and South Korea will compete 5 times. lolI think that both of them are praiseworthy.

It snowed in Tokyo again. It's rarely snows this time of year. Now, in my garden, many pinkish flowers , wabisuke which is a sort of Camellia Japonica, are blooming. The contrast with the snow-white and colorful flowers is very beautiful. Especially, the red ones, the Camellia called tubaki, look passinate. On snowy days, I look up at the sky and white garden with these flowers from my warm room

Three month ago, I bought a tiny cute iron at a store, Franc Franc. As it was very small, I guessed that it would be good for portability. Before I bought, I hesitated because I wondered if it had enough power. As the look was cute, finally, I bought it. Luckily, it was powerful to iron with. :) I’m going to bring it when I travel.In general, Japanese like tiny electronic appliances. Electronic

Phew! Time flies.In the yearend, I always regret how to spend my daily life. I wonder what I did and why I didn't do what I want to do.Just before, I bought a notebook, "Moleskine" to organize my schedule and keep a diary. It was a bit expensive, though. :( Recently, I read a book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". This one was better than I thought and made my thinking change a bit.

Now, it's between autumn and winter. I painted my impression of this season. :)From my place, Tokyo, I can see snowy beautiful Mt. Fuji.I really like its snowscape.Speaking of Mt Fuji, you know ,"36 Views of Mount Fuji " of Hokusai, don't you?I love these pictures so much too.

In the night, outside, we can listen to the sound of the cricket orchestra. It puts my mind at rest. Plus, the fragrance of sweet osmanthus spreads out on the night breeze comfortably. This sound and fragrance combines very well. This is Japanese early autumn. 夜のお散歩がキモチイイ。金木犀の香りと鈴虫の声。ほっこりと秋。。。。

It's early autumn now, but we are afraid of the rapid coming of winter.Could you compare with this chart?Have you already got what I painted?

Lately, in the morning, I hesitate which clothes I should wear. I mean T-shirts or long sleeves.It’s because the temperature difference is intense for this season. In the daytime, it’s 25 degrees. It looks like summer. As you guess, it would cause for the climate change. Anyway, I wear both. Year by year, I feel the hot earth with my skin.One more troublesome thing, the financial crisis.

On a perfect autumn day, I picked cosmos, which are blooming brilliantly by the path, on my way home. Afterwards, I drew them.I’m interested in botanical art so much right now. Lately, by sketching their details, I noticed that plants are occasionally made of geometrical pattern. This time, I found a lot of stars on the yellow part in the center.

3 weeks ago, I bought a new bicycle because my old one was rattling. :) As I ride it clattering so much, passengers turned around me on the street. I was ashamed of that. That’s why I decided to buy it. ;)Precisely, I should've said "I met Raychell." After getting back home, I found out the name on the internet. His / Her name seems to be "Raychell".

There's a beer shop, which has all kind of beers all over the world, nearby my house. Once a month, I'm looking forward to going there. All are expensive a bit, but taste is really nice. I try one by one. I bought this, "Dom Kölsch", just before. It tasted smoothy.

I like "color".Sometimes, everyone ask me the most favorite color. Immediately, I answer to them "All colors ". That's why I can't chose only one. I think that the combination and composition of colors are important. All colors are brilliant. Don't you think so?「何色が好き？」とよく聞かれる。「全部」と答える。だって、色は、全部キレイでしょ。When I have spare time, I compose the colors and shapes in my head. Then, I sit in front of

I practice Latin dancing, "core rhythm" for a diet. The result? As I haven't finished it yet, I wish I could succeed in losing weight after 3 months. Core rhythm is much easer than Billy's Boot Camp. I like both. So now, I do them weekly. Though we are generally quite slim, the diet is very popular among Japanese.Oh forget to say, I'm going on a diet called " recording diet" too. This is the
