All the things that I have are small things. Ideas are important. For example, cowbell, lamp and owl on the wall, I brought back from Hawaii. The bell makes a warm, deep sound that fills my small room. The blue cloisonne was made by my late mother-in-law. I connected it.
I had afternoon tea time at Fujita-san’s house and we had lots of interesting conversation. She designed and created these works of art. It has an elegant texture and is made by engraving wood. I love it. At a restaurant, ordering on a tablet was difficult for us, so I did a no-no pose.
My late mother-in-law made this cloisonne rabbit. This is one of the small things she gave me. The rabbit has the meaning of the stage of transition and improvement. I am also creating a bright new life. (Kyoto Shuzo&Michiko Nakamura)
Even though the whales are about 3 months from coming back to Hawaii, all the other boat captains and staff are really looking forward to seeing them again. It is always nice to see the dolphins, turtles and even the occasional monk seal the main event of the year has to be whale watching season. When the whales are seen breaching and spouting it is almost magical and the Customers are very happy and the staff are also very happy to see them. So I eagerly await there return!
My husband’s hobbies were playing the violin and horseback riding. I’m a violin teacher, so my students performed. At this time, he also participated and enjoyed duet with me. Second photo, I think it was about 55 years go. It was taken when he belonged to the equestrian club when he was a student. (Kyoto Shuzo&Michiko Nakamura)
