This photo was taken on October 4, 2014. It was the same day 10 years ago. After moving Fujisawa from Hawaii, I happened to meet a staff member at this facility while taking a walk with my husband and I was invited to perform the violin. This photo was the first performance here. After that, I visited 15 times until the COVID-19 period. (Michiko)
The joy of early autumn. October 2, 2024, it’s a sunny day with the wind of early autumn at the end of summer. It’s a refreshingly clear day, just like the day I walked with my husband 10 years ago. (The grave of Shuzo Nakamura, Michiko and Dolce)
This photo was taken on October 2, 2014. My husband and I enjoyed walking around together after we moved from Hawaii to Fujisawa. (Photo by Shuzo Nakamura, Michiko walking)
I visited the grave. The wind of early autumn is whispering nicely today. The song “The windmills Of Your Mind” by Michel Legrand came to my mind. This is one of the songs I enjoy by playing alone on the violin or piano. (Michiko)
A SO-DAI GOMI, or a “coarse, bulky waste”, is a word expressing retired males who had nothing to do at home and became a nuisance to other family members. The derogatory word was widely used before the internet became popular. Now, they can hold a cell-phone in their palms, appearing to be doing something. In addition, they can learn everything through social media what is happening in the world. However, they are still ” SO-DAI GOMI.”
