夕方、「さんぽ道」で過ごす。

　午後４時頃から喫茶「さんぽ道」で珍しく、ブルーべリースムージを味わってきました。最近は昼食にもブルーベリー入りのパンを食してます。一説には目に良いとの話がありますが、どうでしょう。

　愛車ＴＴは今日、アウディーの会社に預けてきました。私は運転するのに目は遠方がよく見え、不都合ではありません。

　先程、「さんぽ道」で、自らHappy birthday to you! をピアノで弾き、一人で誕生日を祝いました。なんて寂しいことでしょう。果たして来年は一人でなく、美味しいディナーを戴きつつ祝えるでしょうか。

　Around 4pm, I went to the cafe "Sampo-michi" and enjoyed a blueberry smoothie, which is rare for me. Recently I've been eating bread with blueberries for lunch as well. Some say it's effective for the eyes, but I wonder.

　Today I left my beloved TT at the Audi company. My eyes can see well the distant view, so it's not a problem for me to drive.

　Just now at the "Sampo-michi", I played "Happy birthday to you!" by the piano to celebrate my birthday alone. How lonely it was. I wonder if next year I'll be able to celebrate not alone, but over a delicious dinner.

花はよく咲いても、なかなか渡れない天の川

　午後、皆さんが歌うピアノ伴奏をしたことで、今日は充実した一日で終わりそうです。音楽演奏は一つの自己表現なので楽しい歌、悲しい歌の世界に没頭でき、心は充分に満たされます。

　おっと！今宵、これだけ暑くて湿度もあると、一日を振り返る夕食には生ビールでグイッと行こうと思います。一人で庭の花ばかり見ていないで、早く天の川を渡り、地上の織姫星に会いたいものです。では、乾杯！

　I played the piano to accompany everybody as they sang in the afternoon, so today my life looks set to end as a fulfilling day. Playing music is one of the forms of self-expression, so I was able to immerse myself in the world of happy and sad music, therefore, my heart was fully filled.

　Oh! Tonight, it is so hot and humid still now, I think I'll have a draft beer for dinner to reflect today. I don't want to just stare at the flowers of gladiolus in the garden by myself, I want to cross the Milky Way and see Vega on Earth. Cheers!

学習とは・・・模倣から創造への過程か

　５月下旬に購入した「天声人語２０２５春」を今朝読み終わり、ホッとしてます。約９０日分です。平均して１日に２.５日分でした。次回の発売は８月下旬なので、しばらくの間、この教科書から離れられ、リラックスできます。

　目的は内外の事象に関心を持つと共に、この本は珍しく、同じ内容が日本語と英文で並んで書かれてます。日英両言語でフェイスブックとブログで書く私にとって、語彙を増やすうえで誠に有益な教師となってます。

　気持ちは若くても(？)、高齢に近づきつつある私が英単語を学ぶなど考えてもいませんでしたが、学習に遅すぎることはないとの考えで、「これを英語で何と言うか」という永遠の課題に向き合ってる毎日です。ですから、私にとっては英語の語彙はどうしても必要になってます。諺「必要は発明の母」とはよく言った一つの真理です。今になって必要に迫られ学んでます。

　このため和英辞典を引くことが多いです。英和辞典では関連した例文を調べます。この例文が大いに役立ちます。学生時代に「教育は模倣から創造への過程である」と習ったことがあります。今、この言葉を身に沁みて感じてます。年は取っても、どんどん真似して、日常生活を送るうえで自ら考えたこと、気づいたこと、感想などを表現できればと思います。

Dear my friends who are crazy about way of studying English and great music.

　The simultaneous interpretation into English for our mutual understanding will be done after my breakfast in Japan time.

.....................................................

　I finished reading "VOX POPULI VOX DEI" Tensei Jingo 2025 Spring" this morning, which I bought in late May, and I feel relieved. It's about 90 days' worth. On average, I read 2.5 days' worth per day. The next issue will be released in late August, so I can relax and get away from this textbook for a while.

　The purpose is to know for me in domestic and international events, and this book is rare that means the same content is written side by side in Japanese and English. For me, who writes on Facebook and blog in both languages, it has been a very useful teacher in increasing vocabulary.

　Even though I feel young (?), I never thought I would learn English words as I am approaching old age now, but I believe it's never too late to learn. Every day I face the eternal challenge of "how do I say this Japanese in English?" Therefore, for me, English vocabulary has become absolutely necessary. The proverb "Necessity is the mother of invention" is a well-known truth. Now, I am learning English vocabularies because of necessity.

　For this reason, I often consult a "Japanese-English dictionary." In an English-Japanese dictionary, I look up related example sentences. This example sentence is very helpful for me. When I was a student, I learned that "Education is a process from imitation to creation." Now, I really feel this way. Even as I get older, I hope to continue to imitate others English sentences and express my thoughts, realizations, and impressions in my daily life.

　　

フェイスブックも新たに再開

　６月２日、今日の日の出は４時２７分、正午の太陽高度は７５°、日の入りは１８時５７分予定【いずれも群馬県】です。写真上は今朝、開花したユリで、私としては「暫くでした」と言いたいです。球根ですから一年振りです。左下はオリエンタルゴールド【東洋の金】の蕾、右下は秋に赤くなるマユミの実がすでに生まれてます。

　ところで、突然、フェイスブックが使えなくなり、１０日間ほど友人との連絡が付かなくなり、私は寂しい思いをしてました。皆様にもご不便をおかけしました。「人と人とのつながりは言葉を介して存在するものである」としみじみ感じ、フェイスブックの存在価値を再認識です。

　この度、Kakinuma Hirowakaとして再出発することになりましたので、よろしくお願いいたします。私の名は漢字で書けば柿沼宏和香です。

　一方、Persimmon Marsh Loft とタイトルにしてあるブログの方へは http://hatomusic.air-nifty.com/ へのアクセスで一発でご覧いただけます。こちらはサイドにいろいろ載せてます。例えば、「地球の満ち欠け」は現在の地球の姿や、季節によって太陽光が地球に当たる変化も分かります。世界・日本株価、天気予報、県別アクセスランキングなどです。ブログはホームページと同じなので、アクセスすればどなたでも見ることができます。

Dear my friends

　June 2nd, today's sunrise is at 4:27, the altitude of the sun at noon is 75°, and sunset is scheduled for 18:57 [all in Gumma Prefecture]. The photo above shows a lily that bloomed this morning, and I want to say "it's been a while." It's been a year since she is bulbs. On the bottom left are buds of Oriental Gold, and on the bottom right are Mayumi fruits that turn red in autumn.

　By the way, Facebook suddenly stopped working, and I was unable to contact my friends for about 10 days, which made me feel extremely lonely. I apologize for the inconvenience. I have come to realize that "connections between people exist through words," and I have reaffirmed the value of Facebook.

　I have decided to start anew as Kakinuma Hirowaka, so I hope you will continue to support me. My name is written in Japanese kanji as the above sentence.

　On the other hand, the weblog titled "Persimmon Marsh Loft" can be accessed in one go at http://hatomusic.air-nifty.com/. This has various information posted on the both sides. For example, "Phases of the Earth" shows the current appearance of our Earth and how the sunlight hits the Earth differently depending on the season. There are also world and Japanese stock prices, weather forecasts, access rankings by prefecture, and more. The weblog is the same as the homepage, so anyone can see it by accessing it.

目がかなり回復です。

　今回、何らかの原因で左目に不具合が生じ、まるでボクシングの選手の試合後のような顔になり、瞼が完全に閉じてしまいました。今後の人生はどうなるのか、大好きな愛車の運転はもうできないのか、美しいものや人が見えないのかと、2週間ほど、この世の非情さを感じてしまいました。

　ところが、回復の兆しが見え、お陰様で目が開き、次第に物が見え始め、今朝の感覚では、二重に見えたりすることも殆どなくなりました。無理をせずにフェイスブックが書けるほどになりました。激励して下さった皆様に深謝です。

　今回の原因について、不祥事を起こし、妻に殴られたことはなく、当初は目でなくて、「額の左下の部分が熟睡できないほど痛かった」です。その2日後から、今度は左の眼球が膨らみ始め、やはり、激痛となり、瞼が下がって全く見えなくなりました。

　本当の原因は不明ですが、私が想像するには、もしかして、鼻洗浄のとき、０.９％の塩分濃度の液体が額の中に一対ある鼻の臓器の「前頭胴」に入った可能性も考えられます。このため、耳鼻咽喉科では昨日、鼻洗浄をしませんでした。

 

　回復には、眼圧を下げる目薬と抗生剤が効いたように感じられます。今朝は、お陰様で痛みも見た目もほぼ回復し、見えることの幸せをしみじみ感じています。おそらく水色の愛車ＴＴの運転も可能です。一度は真剣に売却まで考えたのですから、目が回復し本当に嬉しいです。皆さんのお顔が見られます。これからは近隣で困っている高齢者の役に立つことに積極的に取り組みます。

........................................................................

　This time, for some reason, something went wrong with my left eye, and my face looked like a boxer's after a match, and my eyelids closed completely. For about two weeks, I felt the cruelty of this world, wondering what would happen to my life from now on, whether I would be able to drive my beloved car again, and whether I would be able to see beautiful things and a lady.

However, there were signs of recovery, and thanks to you, I was able to open my eyes and gradually see things again, and this morning I felt that the double vision had almost completely disappeared. I was able to write on Facebook without any strain. I am deeply grateful to everyone who encouraged me.

　I guess the cause of this, I have not caused any scandal and my wife has never hit me, and at first it was not my eye, but "the lower left part of my forehead hurt so much that I could not sleep well." Two days later, my left eyeball began to swell, and again, the pain became intense, my eyelid drooped, and I could not see at all.

　The real cause is unknown, but I imagine that perhaps during nasal irrigation, a liquid with a 0.9% salt concentration entered the "frontal sinuses". As you know, a pair of nasal organs located inside the forehead. For this reason, nasal irrigation was not performed at the ENT clinic yesterday.

　It seems that the eye drops to lower intraocular pressure and antibiotics have helped my recovery. This morning, thanks to your help, both the pain and my appearance have almost completely recovered, and I am truly grateful for the happiness of being able to see this world. I will probably be able to drive my beloved light blue Audi TT Quattro. I seriously considered selling it, so I am really happy that my left eye has recovered. Above all, I will be able to see everyone's faces. From now on, I will actively work to help elderly people in need in my neighborhood.

　

いよいよ新学期、新たな気持ちで生活します

【写真をクリックすると、臨場感が出ます。】

　早春に庭で最もよく撮れた一枚の写真は、この「しだれ紅梅」と感じます。この花梅はご覧の通り、今では直径２０cmほどの幹が蛇の如くくねっており、大きな枝は左右で高さが異なり、全体の姿にバランスを保ってます。何と言っても、優しさあるピンクの花が枝先で枝垂れているのが特徴でしょう。

　幼木の当時はこんな姿をしてませんでしたが、花の色彩と枝垂れ具合を見て購入を決意し、埼玉県花園町から愛車「いすゞ１１７クーペ」のトランクに根を入れ、幹を外に出した状態で倉賀野まで運んで来たのですから、２５年前の私も情熱があったのでしょう。写真は前の道から撮ったもので、背景に我が家も写り、拡大して額に入れ、いつの日か玄関かピアノの部屋に飾りたいです。

　いよいよ４月となり、外国と異なることは日本では学校も職場も新たな一歩が今日から始まります。しかし、すでにこれらとは縁がなくなり、高齢となった私が健康に暮らす秘訣は「楽しい生き甲斐を持つこと」こそすべてです。それは、ピアノやソプラノサクソフォーン演奏であったり、英単語の記憶については、幼児が実生活で言葉を使いつつ覚える方法を真似てます。そして植物を育て、その樹木のスタイルと色彩美を追求してます。

　この三つがあってこそ、日々が充実し、結果的に日中、身体を動かすことに繋がり、健康を左右する基盤になってます。特に没頭できる音楽演奏や鑑賞、時間を忘れるほど夢中にしてくれる植物たちは今の私の生き甲斐です。不思議なことに、この二つは友人知人に聴いてもらえ、観賞してもらえる特徴を有してます。ですから、日々、人とのつながりを大切にしてます。

.........................................................................

　I think the best photo I took in the garden in early spring was this weeping red plum. As you can see, this flowering plum has a trunk that is about 20 cm in diameter and twists like a snake, and the large branches are at different heights on the left and right, which keeps the overall appearance balanced. The most distinctive feature is the gentle pink flowers that hang down from the ends of the branches.

　This red plum didn't look like this when it was a young tree, but when I saw the color of the flowers and the drooped branches drooped, I decided to buy it, and I brought it from Hanazono-town, Saitama Prefecture to my Kuragano-town with the roots in the trunk of my beloved Isuzu 117 Coupe and the tree's trunk outside, so I must have been passionate 25 years ago. The photo was taken from the path in front of the garden, and my house is pictured as well in the background. I would like to enlarge it, frame it, and display it in the entrance or piano room someday.

　Not change the subject, but it's April, and what's different from other countries is that in Japan, new steps are starting today at school and at company. However, I no longer have any ties to these things, the secret to living a healthy life as I get older is to have a fun purpose in life. That includes playing the piano and soprano saxophone, and memorizing English words by imitating the method that young children memorize Japanese words by using them in real life. I also raise plants and pursue the beauty of their style and colors.

　These three things that make my days fulfilling, which ultimately leads to moving my body during the daytime. As the result, the foundation of my health is determined. In particular, playing and listening to music that I can immerse myself in, and plants that engross me so much that I lose track of time are what give me a reason to live now. Strangely enough, these two things have the characteristic of being listened to and appreciated by friends and acquaintances. That is why I cherish my connections with people every day.

明治生まれの父はジェンダーフリーの考えだったのか。

【画像をクリックすると臨場感が出ます。】

　庭でいろいろの植物に接していると、不思議なことに遭遇します。現在、5本の梅の花が真っ盛りで、思わずその色彩の美しさに惹かれます。同時に良い香りが漂い、この香りも一つの芸術に感じられます。私の名は男性にしては珍しく最後に「香」の字が使われてます。明治生まれの父が何かの思いでこの文字を選んだのでしょう。もしかして、文字には男も女もないとのことでジェンダーフリーの最先端の考えを持っていたのでしょうか。生前に訊いておけばよかったですが、後の祭りです。ところで、父は推定１００名程の人に名前をつけてやりました。

　ところで、写真は珍しい「枝垂れ梅」です。現在、あちこちで梅の開花が見られますが、枝垂れてる梅はなかなか見つかりません。ところで、不思議なことですが、何故、枝垂れるのでしょうか。本当のことは分かりません。想像するに、樹木そのもの力が弱く、自らの枝の重さを支えられず、枝が上に向かずに下向きになるのでしょうか。しかし、観賞する私には枝垂れる姿に却って魅力が感じられます。

　そう言えば、８年ほど前、群馬県南部に降った５０ｃｍほどの大雪のとき、この「枝垂れ梅」は幹ごと大きく傾いてしまいました。大木なので、この傾きを治せず、私は下になってしまった枝を切って樹形を整えました。現在、樹形はそんなことを感じさせず自然に立ち直ってます。

　

　私たち人間も、長い人生ではいろいろの困難に突き当たります。しかし、その不運に挫けず、その都度、修正しつつ、自らの目標に向かって前進する気持ちさえあれば、あるいは夢はやって来るのかもしれません。夢は叶うのかもしれません。今日も一つでも新たな事に挑戦し、今までより生きる範囲を広げてみたい。

...........................................................

　When I take care of various plants in the garden, sometime I feel something strange. Currently, five plum blossoms are in full bloom, and I am fascinated with the beautiful colors. At the same time, a wonderful fragrance is wafting through the air, and this fragrance also feels like one of the arts.

　My name ends with the character "香" (fragrance), which is unusual for a man. My father, who was born in the Meiji era, probably chose this character for some reason. Perhaps he thought that the character does not have a male or female meaning, and so "did my father have cutting edge of gender-free ideas?" I should have asked him before he passed away, but it's too late now. The damage is done. By the way, I guess that my father gave names to about 100 people.

　By the way, the photo shows a rare "weeping plum." Currently, plum blossoms can be seen everywhere, but it's difficult to find weeping plums. By the way, it's strange, but why do they droop? I don't know the truth. I imagine that the tree itself is weak and cannot support the weight of its own branches, so they turn downwards instead of upwards. However, as an admirer, I find the drooping appearance quite attractive.

　Come to think of it, about eight years ago, when southern Gumma Prefecture experienced a heavy snowfall of about 50 cm, this weeping plum tree leaned significantly to the trunk. Because it is a large tree, I was unable to correct the tilt, so I cut off the big branches that had fallen to the bottom and reshaped the tree. Now, the tree has naturally recovered and there is no sign of this damage.

　We humans also face many difficulties in our long lives. However, if we do not get down by the misfortune, but rather correct our mistakes each time and have the determination to move forward towards our purposes, perhaps our dreams may come true. Today, I would like to take on at least one new challenge and broaden the radius of my life more than before.

いよいよ本格的な梅のシーズン到来！

【画像をクリックし、拡大してご覧ください。臨場感が出ます。】

　今朝も起床してすぐ庭に出て、梅の開花状況を見ました。嬉しいことに白梅が１０輪ほど咲き始めました。この白梅は実がたくさん生ります。毎年、長女が捥いで、梅酒を作って持ってきてくれます。年々その味も良くなり、作り方が上達してます。今年は、それ以外にも梅の行き先が決まってます。

　それにしても赤い花が多い中、白も純粋でいいものです。これからはどこからともなくミツバチがやって来ます。その結果、授粉し実が生るので、自然界は良く出来てます。一方、蜂と言えば、不思議なことに、藤の花には大きくて真っ黒な熊蜂がやって来ます。平素、熊蜂を見ることはないのに、開花すると飛んで来るので蜂は嗅覚が優れているのでしょう。

　ところで、予報では、今週は寒波の再襲来と伝えられてます。しかし、立春後は昔から三寒四温の繰り返しです。３日寒くても４日温かくなるので、次第に春めいて来るでしょう。この期間は体調管理が大切です。

　最近感じることは、この世を渡る途中にはいろいろ勝負があります。私も若き日からいろいろ資格や試験に挑戦してきました。音楽の分野でもコンクールと称し、勝ち負けがありました。しかし、知人・友人の逝去など今の状況を鑑みるとき、人生の本当の勝負【幸福度】はこれからであり、如何にして素晴らしい人と巡り合い、如何にして健康長寿を手に入れられるかではないでしょうか。

........................................................................

　This morning, I woke up and went straight to the garden to check on the plum blossoms. I'm happy to see that about 10 white plum have started to bloom. These white plum produces a lot of fruit. Every year, my eldest daughter picks the plums, makes plum wine and brings it to me. The taste gets better year by year, so she's getting better at making it. This year, the plums fruits have been decided to sent to other places. So, if you want to pick them, please come early at the middle of June.

　Even so, the white plum blossoms are pure and beautiful, even among the many red flowers. From now on, bees will come from nowhere. As a result, they will be pollinated and fruit will grow, so nature is doing a good job. On the other hand, speaking of bees, strangely enough, large, black bumble bees come to the wisteria flowers. We don't usually see bumble bees, but they fly in when the wisteria blooms, so bees must have a good sense of smell.

　Not change the subject, but the forecast says that there will be another cold wave in Japanese archipelago this week. However, since the beginning of spring, it has been repeating three cold days and four warm days since ancient times. So real spring will gradually come here, I guess. It is important to take care of our health during this unsettled period.

　What I have felt recently is that there are many challenges through this life. I have attempted various qualifications and exams since when I was young. Even in the field of music, there were competitions, and there were wins and losses. However, when I consider the current situation, with the passing away of acquaintances and friends, I feel that the real challenge of life - real happiness - is from now on, and that it is about how we can meet wonderful people and achieve a healthy longevity.

子供たちの未来と、退職後の自分の生き甲斐探し

　
　写真は私のお気に入りウォーキングコースの一つ鏑川と烏川が合流する高崎市木部町の東方です。このようなところでは心に負担なく、大人の私でさえ自然と足が前に出て行く環境です。ましてや、未来ある子供たちにとって、何事もすぐに取り掛かれる環境を整備するのが私たち大人の役割です。正に、「あなたと作ろう子供たちの未来」です。

　昨日で新学期早々の毎朝の登校時パトロールが終了し、朝食がゆっくり食べられ、ホッとしてます。私には今度１月１６日(木)に下校時のパトロールが予定されてます。また、今日は、午前中、倉賀野町上四地区では２ヶ月に一度の「廃品回収」の日で、家庭から出された大量の不燃物を収集し、１５人程の仲間と共に、業者のトラックに、分別しつつ、積み込む作業に従事します。地区の仕事に参加すると仲間の人たちと話をする機会が増え、精神面・健康面でとても良いと考えてます。

　話は別ですが、ご存知の通り、人生は大きく３つの期間に分けられます。第一は、生まれてから学生時代までで、いわば、自分に合った職業選択の期間であり、皆、目的を持って試験などに挑戦する時代です。第二は、会社勤めなど職業に従事する約４０年間です。実は、次に必ず来る第三は、退職後の長い３０～４０年間で、この期間こそ、本当に自分らしく納得して人生を生きたい期間です。

　人生１００年時代です。退職後はこれからもう一度新しい人生が始まるのだという考えに立ち、「具体的にどう生きるか計画を持つべき」です。目的のない「その日暮らし」はとんでもないことで、大切なことは自分を単なる消費者とするのでなく、一つの能力を持った生産者として社会に貢献したり、日々、生き甲斐を実践する発想を持つべきでしょう。それは何でもよいから、自ら興味関心ある分野で時計をいったん０に戻し、挑戦すると人生の後半戦がとても充実すると考えます。

　The photo shows one of my favorite walking courses, east of Kibe-town, Takasaki City, where the Kabra River and Karasu River merges. In place like this, there is no burden on our mind, and even an adult like me can naturally walk forward. Especially for children who have a brilliant future, it is our role as adults to create an circumstance where they can start easily on anything right away. It is truly "Let's create the future of children together with you."

　Yesterday was the end of my morning patrol at the beginning of the new semester, so that I was relieved to have a leisurely breakfast today. I am scheduled to patrol at returning hour from school on Thursday, January 16th. Also, Today's morning is the "waste collection" day in Kuragano-Kami-4th district, which is held once every two months, and we collect a large amount of non-burnable waste from many homes and worked together with about 15 other people to sort and load it onto a contractor's truck. Like this, by participating in local work, I have more opportunities to talk with my peers, which I think is very good for both of my mental and health.

　This is a different topic, but as you know, life can be divided into three major periods. The first is from birth to school years, which is the period when we choose a career that suits us, and when everyone takes exams with a purpose in mind. The second is about 40 years of working in a job, such as working for a company. In fact, the third period, which surely comes next, is the long 30 to 40 years after retirement, and this is the period when we should live our life in a way that is true to ourselves and that we are satisfied with it.

　Generally, we are in an era of 100-year lifespans. With the idea that a new life will begin again after retirement, we should have a concrete plan for how we will live our life. Living everyday without a purpose is outrageous, and the important thing is not to think of ourselves as a mere consumer, but to contribute to society as a producer with some skills, and to have the ideal purpose in life into practice every day. I am of the opinion that if we turn the clock back to zero in a field, we should take on a challenge against our ultimate purpose that our interesting fields, our third of life will be very fulfilling beyond description.

肉体鍛錬は、心に負担がない方法で継続したい

　
　今日も午後4時から家の前の道【５０m×往復×１０回＝１０００m】をストライドを広めにウォーキングしたところ血流が良くなったのでしょうか、身体が温かくなりました。今のところ、新年になって３日間実践してます。長い距離を歩くより、気楽に続けられそうです。西南の空に浮かぶ三日月を見つつ歩きました。

　同様に、上半身を鍛えるダンベルも重いものより、左右合わせて６kgの軽い方が頑張らなくていいので、心に負担がなく続けられそうです。ダンベルは玄関の靴箱の上に置いておき、いつでも気軽に実践できます。また、重くなければ回数を多くできます。

　また、裏庭の杉の木を相手にテッポウを行ってます。近所の人が見たら、いい年をして何をしてるのだろうと思うでしょうが、私は「人生とは常にこれから」の精神です。年令を重ねつつ、同時に筋肉をつけるべきと考えてます。「健康は運命でなく、創り上げるもの」と目標にしてます。

Dear my overseas friends who are crazy about nature, health and great music

　Today, I started walking at 4pm on the way in front of my house [50m x round trip x 10 times = 1000m] with a wide stride, as the result, my body warmed up, probably because my blood circulation improved. I've been walking for three days in succession since the new year. It seems easier for me to continue than walking long distance. I walked while looking at the crescent moon floating in the southwestern sky.

　Similarly, I think that the lighter dumbbells (6kg total) for training the upper body are easier to maintain than the heavy ones, so I can continue without putting too much strain on my mind. I keep the dumbbells on top of the shoebox at the entrance and can practice whenever I want. Also, if it's not too heavy, we can do more repetitions.

　I also do "teppo" that means pushing up against the cedar tree in the backyard. If the neighbors saw me, they would wonder what I'm doing at my age, but I have the mentality that "My life is always from now on." I believe that as we get older, we should also build muscles. My purpose is that "health is not destiny, it's something we create."
