Ninagawa Yukio (蜷川 幸雄) passed away at the age of 80. He is one of the greatest theater directors in Japan. Maybe you know him even if you do not live in Japan. In Japan today, age 80, it’s a little bit early to pass away, very sad. 合掌.
Now we have the passing of spring and the approaching of summer around my region. I took pictures of the flowers all of which are Fuji (フジ) and a video of the birds which seem the same kind as on this post. I took the videos at the same pond. The birds look like longer diving than they on the old video. I’ll show you them though my skill isn’t so good. How about them?
Last night, when I rested at ease in my living room, my cellular phone suddenly set up a shout: “Earthquake!, Earthquake!”. I picked it up, and shakiness began when I only read the first few letters of “Earthquake Early Warning Strong shaking is expected soon. Stay calm and seek shelter nearby.(Japan Meteorological Agency)”. This service is called “Area Mail Disaster Information Service” provided by docomo.
I wrote an article almost the same title, which was about WOMEN’S. This time is about World Men’s Curling Championship 2016, which is being held in Basel, Switzerland. Our men’s curling team qualified for the play-offs for the first time this early morning in Basel.
They announced Let’s Encrypt certs issued after 1pm Pacific today are compatible with Windows XP. The longer explanation is here. But even after reading it, I have why. On its replies, there are a lot of pros and cons.
At 2016 FORD WORLD WOMEN’S CURLING CHAMPIONSHIP Japan curling team nails down Page 1-2 playoff berth. This is the first time for the country. Wow!
The declaration of flowering(開花宣言). For what? For cherry blossoms in my garden this year he-he. I’ll show you the photo. See the right image, which has only one blossom open. Today was very sunny and it will be sunny tomorrow. So, the peak bloom date is soon.
On another right image you see plants like writing brushes, which are tsukushi(土筆). Tsukushi is one of spring greens and eatable. They say scrambled eggs with tsukushi are good though I don’t like them so much.
On February 10, I saw an ume(梅) blossom on the tree in my garden and today ten or more blossoms because it was warm these few days. Spring is approaching us!
