Brother in law and nephew visited Fujisawa-city from Kyoto and Tokyo. We talked about my late husband Shuzo and visited beautiful graveyard. It was precious and enjoyable time. I also found an old nice photo of brothers when they were still in their early or mid forties.
My hip joints are not so good, so I go to an orthopedic clinic to rehab regularly. I plan not to have surgery. I have a good sense of balance. Don’t I look like a ballerina?
One of my favorite times on the boat is when the winds are very light and the ocean is very calm even when I go very far off shore. I really like how the ocean meets the land. It looks so very peaceful and the color of the ocean is always a very deep blue. Both the mountains and the ocean are beautiful but for me, my favorite scene is how the ocean meets to the beach and goes immediately to the mountains. Every hour is a different version of the two meeting!
One year ago, I drew this picture and gave it to my husband for rehabilitation to prevent his tongue from curling up in the back of his throat. He grasped my painting tightly with shining eyes on his bed at a hospital. ”This is great, great!”, he repeated with his best smile. I received the brilliance of my husband’s heart as a gift.
