the Star Festival

It is an annual event celebrated on July 7.
Do you know about the Chinese star legend? It is a special day for ORIHIME (Vega) and HIKOBOSHI (Altair) once a year that they can get across the Milky Way to meet each other.
We put a bamboo which decorated five colors oblong cards written poems and words in own garden and we pray to progress in writing and sewing.


七夕
7月7日の星祭り。
中国の星の伝説に由来する年中行事。織姫とひこ星が天の川を渡ってデートすることを許された特別な日。 庭前に葉竹を立て、五色の短冊に歌や字を書いて飾りつけ、書道や裁縫の上達を祈る。

祓ひのほども過ぎぬらん、七夕は明日ばかりと思ふ

Iris

"Which flower is iris sanguinea or iris laevigata?" It means that I am puzzled which to choose as it is too hard to distinguish because they are the same kind of flower and everything is excellent.

The calligraphy

"Shodo is the art of drawing characters with a brush and India ink to express spiritual depth and beauty."
Written by WAKA    

We had a great time at the calligraphy event. It was raining heavily but guests arrived. We were really pleased to see them.
The instructor is also excellent, isn't she?
Her explanation, character and ability are great!!

Thanks for coming. I hope they all feel the same as me.

Well, what shall we do next?
Shodo again, climbing Mt.Fuji, making sushi-roll, performing zazen or whatever...

T'aekwondo

It is the martial arts of Korea. The characteristic is hitting and pushing by fist and kicking as well.
I was really excited it had great power more than my imagination.
The instructor teaches his students very eagerly and carefully. Students learn it very enjoyable.

When kids wearing a chest protector had a training in kicking, he said. "You will be able to kick very well if you work hard."
I think as if I learned a lesson of life. I thought I'll go through with everything if I work hard, and I thought I'm going to plug away at my studies as well.

I hope they will be Olympic athletes in the future.

Thank you for wonderful experience!!

The little rose garden

There is a little rose garden I saw when I went for a walk, but that is just somebody's who I don't know. These roses are really lovely as if they show passers. Also there is fragrant with roses around here.
Recover from the fatigue, don't you?

プチローズガーデン
こちら、あるお宅の庭です。 とても綺麗にバラが咲いています。 まるでバラ達が競って皆に見せたがっているようです。 もちろんこの辺りは薔薇の香りが漂っています。
癒されますね〜。
