A Happy New Year !

I came back to Nagano to spend the New Year in the
parents' family at the end of the year.

In Nagano, it is very cold!




























I helped mother to cook the "Osechi " dishes.
I like it.

I like delicacy of the culture of Japan.















Air is clean and rich nature though is the country Nagano.
However, such a beautiful night view can be seen.

It is very romantic scenery, isn't it ?

Not only the night view but also a lot of stars were seen there.















More a lot of stars were actually seen though the star
was a few when seeing in the photograph.


I want to show it to everyone by all means.
The Great Dipper and Orion look very good.















They are my nephews and nieces.
They have power to make me energetic !

I am going to back to Tokyo tommorow.
I relaxed very much at this vacation.
I wish to express my gratitude to the family.

Cooking !

Today, I got my hair cut.
I feel good !

Today I cooked macaroni-gratin.

But, I am not up to my mother as a chef !
My mother can to cook everything, and she cooks very well.
I think my mother's dishes are best to me !
I will learn cooking from my mother in a new year.

There are autumn's dishes.

Grilled salmon and mushrooms,
Boiled turnips, chicken, and bean-starch
vermicelli. And I boiled rice with turnip's leaves.

Why does the weekend pass so fast?

I love Japanese culture

I learned to dressing for Kimono.

Today I graduated from dressing class of regular course,
and I got a certificate.　The regular course is to put on the
Kimono for myself.

Today I decided to learn to graduate course.
The graduate course is to put on the Kimono for other people.
If I master to put on the Kimono for the other people, I would
to put on the Kimono for my sisters.

I have 3 sisters.
So, if they want to put Kimono, I would to help them.
It's very wonderful isn't ?

I feel many country's culture is very deep.
Japanese culture is very deep, too.

I was born to the Japanese, and I want to understand
the culture of Japan more deeply.

I love Japanese culture !

No music, No life

Today, I went to SHIBUYA-AX with my sister.
My sister came from Nagano on Friday.
We went there to see live of "MONKEY MAJIK".
We like them. Two of their member are Canadian,
and, they are brothers. Their music gives me power.

My sister returned to Nagano after live.
I felt lonely a little. But, I can return to Nagano at a new year
after 1 month . So, I will hold out from tomorrow by
the power that today live got !
