ABOUT ME

 Do you know "Tanka", Japanese classical culture? It is short poem of 31syllables arranged in a pattern of 5-7-5-7-7. I like to read tanka, It is interesting! Last day, I bought new book of tanka. It is written by Tatuya Kinoshita, my favorite poet. Let me introduce his tanka little bit. ・立てるかい　君が背負っているものを君ごと背負うこともできるよ (Taterukai kimigaseotte irumonowo kimigotoseou kotomodekiruyo) Can you stand up? I can carry you and your burden on my back. ・読み終えてややふっくらとした本にあなたの日々が挟まれている (Yomioete yayahukkurato sitahonnni anatanohibiga hasamareteiru) Your days are tucked away in the plump book that you have finished reading  ・愛された犬は来世で風となりあなたの日々を何度も撫でる (Aisareta inuharaisede kazetonari anatanohibiwo yasasikunaderu) The dog loved you will become soft wind in the next world, Caressing your days over and over again.

 Did you see the announcement of the contestants for the Kohaku Utagassen? I was really happy because my favorite band,"Mrs.GREEN APPLE" was chosen as a contestans for the first time! They said that we want to be the band that can be contestats for the Kohaku Utagassen since they made debut. I am a stan of Mrs. GREEN APPLE since I was 13 years old and I hope they sing a song in Kohaku Utagassen's stage. So I'm on the cloud nine now!! They looks like very happy. When I saw the picture I can't stop crying.

It gets colder every day. My pet-dog starts to wear clothes. She looks like warm, I'm relieved! This is my pet-dog photosynthesis. She She looked so sleepy.

 Today is national holiday, culture day. So I went to the Niigata prefectural museum of modern art to enjoy exhibition of art that is related to Belgium. There are many beautiful work such as painting, sculpture, and so on. I felt they were strongly influened by Impressionism. There were works by Magritte which I love, and it was a very satisfyig exhibition! I also enjoyed the permanent exhibit. I was amazed to see famous Monet painting and Courbet painting. I'd like to go again!
