Power and instinct, machine and nature, crossing paths in the same sky!

The port of Sasebo is known as a base for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. But yesterday, a decorated car exhibition was held in front of a warship. I found the contrast quite interesting!

The morning by the Yokohama seaside is so refreshing!

March 11, fourteen years ago, was a warm spring day. In Northern Kyushu, far from disaster-stricken Tohoku, the sky was beautifully blue, and people looked forward to the blooming flowers. But at 2:46 pm, all those colors seemed to vanish. I still remember that moment vividly.

It’s hot today, and it feels like spring has arrived. So, I rode my bike to the library for the first time in six months. During the winter, I usually walk because I don’t like the cold winter wind, but starting today, I can save time thanks to my bike. I’m grateful that spring is finally here!

Last week I had a little bit long journey to Iwate where I went to Iwaizumi town by bus, taking 2 hours over the snowy mountain but I surprised that every cars run fast although the roads were covered with heavy snow. Incredible! I found the drivers in snow country have a great skill of driving!

Only harsh waves crash onto the beach repeatedly, driven by the cold north wind. Winter is arriving soon.

The number of people from X world joining Bluesky has been increasing recently due to the opening of borders. Among them are writers whom I hesitated to follow on X because they only post for X. Now, staying in X world seems less meaningful to me. The time for me to leave X is approaching!
