FIVB VOLLEYBALL

It is unbelievable!
I was excited very much today.
My heart is pounding.

Japan×Serbia and Montenegro

I thought that it would be the best results that a Japanese team got one set.
Perhaps everyone would think so.
I did not think that a team of a clean score lost possibly.
When I advanced to final set, I was excited.
I wanted to praise it even if they lost.
It looked like a supervisor seemed to cry a little, too.
That's great.


A photograph : noted place of colored leaves, Nakatsu Ravine in Hukushima.

a sake warehouse in Kitakata Town 「喜多方の酒蔵」

I stopped at Kitakata after having reached Aizu in Hukushima.
Kitakata is famous for ramen, but is famous as the town where there are a lot of wine cellars (a sake warehouse).

I went in one wine cellar for a souvenir and sampled it a lot（＾ｍ＾）
Local brew is delicious.

Old samurai residences 「武家屋敷―ＢＵＫＥＹＡＳＩＫＩ」

On the third day, it has begun to rain from afternoon.
Thus I dorived to Aizu in Hukushima.

I observed old Samurai House.
A samurai residence is the house where an old samurai lived in.
The samurai family which prospered had a lot of retainers and lived in a big mansion.

A surface of a lake 「湖面―ＫＯＭＥＮ」

Colored leaves are reflected in a surface of a lake clrealy.

Trip to Fukushima the second day. 福島旅行2日目

I went to watch a small marsh nearby in the morning.
Because a photographer knew photography with a place to like, I went there.
It was very beautiful.
Colorful colored leaves were reflected in a surface of a lake and have admired it.

By the way, I convert this diary into English in a free translation site.
Therefore I think that I can sometimes become strange English,(^＿^;)
There is not one word of” colored leaves” in English.
There is one word of "紅葉＝ＫＯＵＹＯＵ" in Japan.
It is said that we go to watch colored leaves to maple-tree viewing.
A Japanese loves watching cherry trees and colored leaves.
It is crowded with tourists in a noted place of autumn Kyoto.

A marsh

A marsh

The marsh 「ＧＯＳＩＫＩ」―「五色沼」

Marsh Goshiki is a name of a meaning such as a marsh of five colors.
Once upon a time it was made by great eruption.
In the area of UraBandai in Hukushima, the complicated topography was made by great eruption.
Because ingredients such as lime minutes are included here, there are beautiful light blue marshes how many it is and can take a walk.
Colored leaves were reflected in a surface of a lake wonderfully.

The mountains 「山々―ＹＡＭＡＹＡＭＡ」

There are some toll roads in Fukushima, but is worth going in the time of colored leaves.
Iｔ was veiled a little, but the mountain which turned red and yellow was very magnificent and was very beautiful.


Kyoto that can watch a temple and a combination of colored leaves is famous, but this scenery is very nice too.

Mt. Bandai 「磐梯山―BANDAISAN」

Because it was fine well, I was able to look Mt. Bandai clearly.

Trip to Fukushima 「福島へ旅行」

I went to Fukushima for a trip week before last.
It takes about 4 hours without a traffic jam by car from Tokyo.
I went with a friend once ten years ago . I wanted to go to there again, because it was a very good trip.

I visit there before in spring, and it is autumn this time.
I went to watch colored leaves.
It was very beautiful

A photo： The sky in autumn and a red maple are very beautiful.
I wachited it for a while.

well 「井戸―ｉｄｏ」

Walk （photo) of Yanaka still continues.
This is a well.
I was surprised to know that it was a personal well.
There are the houses which still uses a well in these area.

That there is such a thing in Tokyo!
Though it is an old thing, will it be new discovery?　（ ^▽^）
Tokyo are composition of old and very new things.
I am sorry that old things gradually decrease.

a shop in YANAKA

This is a window of a shop in Yanaka.
The papier-mache is charm.
It seems to be kimono person, but it is traditional dealer in paper here.

An event in Yanaka 「谷中芸工展」

I went for a performed event with Yanaka every year one week ago.
This is an event to introduce splendor of a town into through fictionization of people living on Yanaka.

It is performed a small exhibition and event of a personal picture and photo here and there, and can go round a voluntary plan or ateliers while walking downtown area .
It's very happy.
I am the second participation this year.

This photo is a tree of downtown area Yanaka whom I picked up before. I take it from an opposite direction.
A foreign artist of a person of this Japanese traditional painting which and lived exhibited it.
He draws very beautiful pictures.

A steamed meat bun 「肉まん―ＮＩＫＵＭＡＮＮ」

A steamed meat bun ...
Is this English right? (^-^:)

I think that after all a souvenir when I return from Osaka is a steamed meat bun of 551 shops. After all a this of here is delicious.

Because, as for the TAKKOYAKI or OKONOMIYAKI, it is delicious not a souvenir therefore to eat.

Because I used a steamer after a long absence, it was sultry together.
It's delicious.

ＮＡＫＡＮＯＳＩＭＡ public hall 「中之島公会堂－ＮＡＫＡＮＯＳＩＭＡＫＯＫＡＩＤＯ」

I took a walk through the Nakanosima outskirts ｗｉｈｔ mother.
The small rosary did not yet bloom very much.

I am interested recently around　Minamisennba and Kitasennba in Osaka.
These outskirts are suitable for walk.
This is Nakanoshima public hall.
It is put up in the Taisho era.
Old buildings such as the Meiji era are left in this area plenty.

Athletic meet 「運動会―ＵＮＤＯＫＡＩ」

During homecoming, I stayed one night at a house of an older sister.
A nephew kid just went to look at an athletic meet of a kindergarten.

The appearance that the child is dancing hard is lovely.
It is drawn in the back , saying that "祭、ＭＡＴＳＵＲＩ=Festival".
In the actual festival of Japan, we can see often people are dancing or carring a mikoshi portable shrine on shoulders in such clothes( a happi coat).

閑宮邸―ＫＡＮINＮＯＭＩＹＡＴＥＩ

Only the residence mark of academy KANNNOMIYA'house in the Kyoto imperial garden ,
We can see by being opened as a material pavilion now.

Long long ago, the capital moved to Tokyo from Kyoto, and court nobles moved in Tokyo, and Kyoto went to ruin.

It seems to be pleasant though surrounds the garden to all sides and takes a rest.

Kyoto Imperial Palace 「京都御所―KYOTOGOSHO」

It is a diary after a long time（＾ー＾；）

I　live in Tokyo now,I went home to Osaka after a long time.
The delicious meal and the talking with a friend were very happy.


I went to Kyoto Imperial Palace with a friend.
I like Kyoto .

In some gravel paths which led to the Imperial Palace, because it rained, I did not see most people.

We cannot consider all not to apply for the Imperial Palace beforehand.
Old buildings seemed to stand inside and wanted to look by all means.
Green of trees in an Imperial garden was beautiful.

Because the maple was growth of weeds one of a wonderful leaf, I want to visit you again in the time of colored leaves.

sunflower 「ひまわり－ＨＩＭＡＷＡＲＩ」

I went to watch sunfloweres the other day. Though It was far , I cannot watch the flower. Growth of a flower was late by the long rain.


This is a photo of last year.
I am disappointed.

summer 「夏-ＮＡＴSＵ」

The rainy season was over and became very hot.
I heard that it was 38 degrees in news in New York, A lot of dead people appear...
In Japan,35 degrees become normal temperature in the summer.
An area of 40 degrees sometimes comes out recently, too.

This menu ,Stir-fry of pig and leek and kimchi.Is it the cooking that is hotter in hot summer!? ?NoNo, this is one of the dish to get well in summer.．．．．
I think I cannot express it in it being difficult to express cooking name in Engish well.（＾＿＾；）

A Street corner of Tokyo Downtown"Yanaka" 「東京下町”谷中”のある街角」

The corner where a tree of this big cedar is planted is a famous point of Yanaka. Yanaka is famous one of walk courses among Tokyo downtown areas.
I like Yanaka.
A foreign artist lives in this street. He would a man be charmed by this town, too.
We can see a lot of such triangle corners be a trace of the Edo era in a downtown area.

Mt.Fuji 「富士山-HUJISAN」

It's Mt,fuji faced from The Lake Kawaguti.

THE FIJIKYU HIGHLAND 「富士急ハイランド」

A new attraction was born in amusement park "Fujikyu-highland".
I have not yet got on this attraction.
I want to go again. .
I am 30's, but still like a roller coaster. (^-^;)ゞ
There are a roller coaster excited very much here, and nothing increased again recently.
There is Mt. Fuji near as shown in the name.
We can see Mt. Fuji in any spots here.
Mt. Fuji is magnificent and beautiful.

This is the photo which I took when I went in December.

Eggplants 「茄子-ＮＡＳＵ」

I do not eat an eggplant recently.
This is the supper which I made approximately 1 month ago.
I pan-fry eggplants with pork and other vegetables and intertwine it with miso.
Eggplants of rich miso taste is good with a perilla and is delicious.

Mmm. . I want to have.
I will make it soon.

fireworks 「花火-HANABI」

I went to see fireworks in local the other day.
It is sultry at the time of the rainy season.
My only enjoyment of summer is fireworks, though I hate summer.
The image seems to be small. But the real thing is sky-high makes a very big flower of light bloom .
