<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's already fortnight ago that my son's wedding ceremony was held at Aloha Ke Akua (Love of God) Chapel in Hawaii,and it gradually became my brilliant memory. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have found that some memory sometimes turns out in my mind with aroma and fragrance of the moments and scenes, and the case of this event is not unexceptional about that for me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The participants for the ceremony were just their parents and four invited friends. On the next day of it we drove around Oafu by a rental car. Before we went Kailua beach we enjoyed quite delicious pan cakes at Boots & Kimo's nearby the beach. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> I thought of my grand daughter when I happened to see some little girls. I bought a small Hawaiian dress, Muu'muu, for her.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also thought about my dog, Daisy, seeing some charming ones liking to do swimming or taking a walk along the sea shore.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In May shoots on oak trees have enough grown as fresh leaves, and they look like little birds which learn how to flap and flutter.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sweeping with a broom and weeding in my garden I recently noticed some tiny sound raising in a birdhouse hung on an oak branch more than a decade ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It made me surprise because I had thought the house was always vacant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Later my husband told me that many sparrows and some tits started to chirp heavily around the garden and he saw a cat climbing onto the oak branch. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Soon I came to know that it is a couple of tit that often pay a visit the old house and also observed that they bring some food which may be an insect or a worm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Usually one of them seems to be a feeder and the other is watching over there.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They seem to have become more prudent and had quicker acts since I took these photos. To add to that they have to pay attention for bigger birds or cats especially at the moment of the first flight by full- fledged ones, so I made up my mind not to try to get the time for the click of the shutter any more.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I visited Nara park last weekend the peak of full blooming of cherry trees were almost over, and the vernal maple leaves were swinging in a breeze which looked like many tiny hands waving for sakura( cherry blossoms) to say " Adieu".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sakura front is going up to some mountainous regions and to the north area such as Tohoku region where the big earthquake and Tunami stroke three years ago. I've heard that some sakura in Tohoku are splendid to watch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is not clear but many petals are littered on the ground in the next photo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Saying "Adieu" in my mind I left the park after I stayed there for a while.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recently I'm awkward at blogging. There are a lot of tanka poems which I'd like to share with blog friends, while I'm afraid of spoiling them by my translation. In addition to that my unskillfulness on photos intimidates me to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today when I found this sakura in my quarter. This dabble petaled species is late-blossoming, so I'll be able to enjoy sakura a little more.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I came back home this afternoon I found an envelope with an unknown name on it in my letter box. A book with a title " Music of the Heart" came out of the envelope and there was such subtitle as " an anthology of tanka on musical themes written by 55 Australian poets and 77 Japanese poets" and it is also written ," edited and translated by Amelia Fielden & Ogi with the assistant of Noriko Tanaka". It was Ms. Tanaka, the assistant,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">who sent me the book.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A little later I remembered that I submitted one of my tanka for the project on line and noticed that mine was selected as one of the 77 tanka.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My pleasure of the book was as much as that of the finding the late-blossoming sakura, and I was encouraged to write this post.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I thought that some buds start to come up as leaves fall. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However, I found the other day an article that reads intangible buds have enough energy to push autumnal leaves out from branches, quoting an author's words.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Maybe it is true.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here in Wakayama, a southern prefecture facing Pacific ocean, there is one of the broadest plum bush field in the country called Minabe with 7,000~8,000 plum trees planted so far in order to gather plums.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They seem to gather them efficiently with some nets.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Plums in this region are sweet, soft and juicy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The original tree of the species was found more than three hundred years ago, and then great deal of effort has been contributed to increase in number of the trees and to make plums better quality.</span><br />

The backyard extends facing a road, and at its corner which looks a wild bush there are some trees <span style="font-size: 12pt;">of Kobus Magnolia, Kobushi</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">(辛夷).</span></div>

As relatively tiny trees of Kobus Magnolia are suitable for garden plants, I can see some of them here and there and enjoy those blooming; <span style="font-size: 12pt;">besides I seldom see such tall and wild ones.</span><br />

More than three decades have passed since I visited <span class="yiv1649578113" id="yiv1649578113misspell-0">Kinkakuji</span> (金閣寺) last time.</div>

that it was beautiful enough, bright and elegant, for please my eye, and at the same time it looked too shinny and <span class="yiv1649578113" id="yiv1649578113misspell-1">flamboyant</span>. </div>

Morning sunlight gets into the trees and onto the ground white with frost, and soon the thin layer of frost turns into many twinkle <span id="yiv2035083486misspell-0">water drops</span> on the tip of grasses which cover the ground.</div>

Remembering my first visit here, <span id="yiv2035083486misspell-1">Koya</span>-pond(昆陽池)in Itami City, when it was falling in flakes that mingled with some soaring birds, I walked around the pond for a while.</div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: 'MS UI Gothic', Osaka, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
There <span id="yiv2035083486misspell-2">seemed </span>to be fewer birds now , especially on the numbers of gull<var id="yiv2035083486yui-ie-cursor"></var>, maybe due to weather or <span id="yiv2035083486misspell-3">environmental</span> condition, still their soaring and landing on the water are soothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I really hope my spirits rebirth like the birds' landing after flying in the air shining even in dim wintry sunlight. </div>

My husband and I had a plan in our minds to go to Kyoto searching for some coloured maple leaves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We wanted to go to mountainous area by train, but as the forecast said it would be going to rain, so we changed the destination and tried to stroll around more convenient area like a trip to nowhere.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We walked around the border between Nara and Kyoto where the altitude was a little higher than that of our residential area, expecting some colourful maple leaves by lower temperature.</div>

<br />
As the forecast said the weather would be unstable, sometimes overcasting, sometimes sprinkling and when it had stopped abruptly the sun was out again.<br />
<br />
Luckily enough we could see some shinning leaves for a while intermittently,<br />
and when it started to rain again we took a rest in a small café with good coffee.<br />

In Japan the saying 「女ごころと秋の空」,"A woman is a weathercock", is mentioned occasionally, but I wonder this unfair saying would be effectively said in English, too?<br />
<br />
<br />
My husband actually said that I owed my opportunities for taking photos of the shining leaves to his good luck, while I was thinking about some abstraction of the world of leaves just before falling.<br />

This tanka poems was composed by Nobutsuna Sasaki ( 佐佐木信綱) in1912.<br />
<br />
I found this translation on website. According the site it's from<br />
"Japanese Literature in the Meiji Era".<br />
Each time I read this poem I have desire to see the cerulean blue sky above the pagoda. As a method this tanka poet use the way of focusing gradually from season, district, a temple and the top of it and a piece of cloud, although it is opposite in the translation.<br />
<br />
Strangely enough,the more it becomes focused to the pagoda the more specious sky I feel and see.<br />
<br />

Now the 1,300 year-old pagoda is under refit, so I could take a photo of the new pagoda beyond a pond called Oh-ike.<br />

<br />
<br />
It is said that the "Suien" (水煙)at the top of the pagoda was called " frozen music" by Ernest Fenollosa (1853~1908), an american art historian, who visited Japan twice. <br />
This word is famous in Japan but I also read that it proved baseless about his mentioning so. <br />
<br />
<br />
I had a chance to attend for listening to a talk by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Kawase">Naomi Kawase</a> (河瀬 直美), a Japanese woman cinema directer, a few months ago. And then I came to know that International Cinema Festival was about to be held in Nara. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Ms Kawase said that a movie was shown in Jyōkōji temple as a pre festival night event. <br />
<br />

This temple is known to the place where Fenollosa gave a speech about the roles of old cities in 1888.<br />
<br />
<br />
She also said that there were more number of temples than convenience stores in Japan, and it worth using temples for versatile view.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I could not see the large room where the cinema was shown in this small temple .<br />

I've heard that a red carpet by lightning rolled out on this fifty-two steps in the evening of the festival, and the invited foreign directors and many other participants descended this stairs with Ms Kawase.<br />

I walked to Nara Park looking up at the sky time to time. <br />
There in the park I saw many deer as usual. Some of them are still young and have some white dots just like ray drops through autumn leaves on their back. <br />

It is known that some area on the mountain range developed as a summer retreat by foreign residents in Kobe after Meiji (1868~), and they made some artificial ponds around there.</div>
<br />
There are some ponds in the botanical garden as well and they give some significant atmosphere to the garden. So,we can also see many aqua plants and flowers. <br />

It was at the beginning of July when I climbed Mount Rokkō several years ago, and I enjoyed to see many hydrangeas along side of the road to the botanical garden and many summer alpine flowers in it. <br />

This time I realised about season's transition much more than I did at the last time. <br />
Temperature was 14 degrees centigrade which made me feel much cooler than I expected, yet I recognised some fading summer plants like some afterglow. <br />
<br />
Enko-so or Caltha palustris var. enkoso are almost starting to wither, but the golden yellow have not yet lost colour. <br />

Daimonji-so or Saxifraga fortunei var.incisolobata are in full bloom, though the tiny flowers' blooming is so quiet.</div>
<br />
<br />
The tiny flower looks like a letter of Dai (大), so it derives its name, Daimonji-so, from{Dai(大=big)monji(文字=letter)sou(草=herb)}.<br />

As for naming, Waremokou, Sanguisorba officinalis, has an interesting origin. <br />
<br />
Ware(吾) means" I", mo(亦) is "also", and kou(紅) signifies red.<br />
<br />
That is to say, it blooms showing "I'm in red, as well".<br />
<br />
They are bathing in the clear autumn sun light and exhibit their understated colour.<br />

Among the pupils the two ladies were quite talented and understood well what the teacher wanted to teach them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span>The pupils' names were Akiko(鳳 晶子1878~1942) and Tomiko(山川登美子1879~1909), each of the two was called by her nickname "Shra-hagi"( white bush clover) and "shira-yuri"( white lily)by the teacher , because both of them <br />
<br />
responded to expectations by composing excellent tanka poems and by their zeal minds.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
The teacher is Tekkan Yosano(与謝野鉄幹1873~1935), who tried to change the stream of traditional Japanese poetry. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Tekkan and his two pupils became more and more intimate, as their ideas and style of their poems became popular.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As the consequence of their situation,Tomiko stepped aside from them involuntarily and Tekkan ended up to remarry with Akiko to start together as leaders of the poetry group. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzBSmTtQwrVy8t39ur7EdE8CkM_DimZmy_PYe1q4teJefj60nZBbNZP06ZZ4k-W3qiE_aRSQRlne5OfcT2StbF66MAMriGN25Ryd_Euk1YlrRb0DO67CVPQZmzcy8zLZOC0-JfRBkJJg/s1600/DSC00907.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzBSmTtQwrVy8t39ur7EdE8CkM_DimZmy_PYe1q4teJefj60nZBbNZP06ZZ4k-W3qiE_aRSQRlne5OfcT2StbF66MAMriGN25Ryd_Euk1YlrRb0DO67CVPQZmzcy8zLZOC0-JfRBkJJg/s400/DSC00907.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
In a lecture I've heard of that a folklorist and poet, Shinobu Origuchi(折口信夫1887~1953), preferred Tomiko's poets rather than Akiko's over appealing ones. <br />
As Origuchi was interested in the original nuances of Japanese language, he dug deep into them, then it is supposed that his study influenced on his idea for Tomiko's tanka which tended to be introspective about herself and words.<br />
<br />
Getting back to their nicknames, I wonder why Akiko, sensational and advanced person on her belief, got such a name of flower which is not so outstanding,<br />
besides Tomiko's name was from fragrant and relatively showy flower. <br />
<br />
In their era there might have been more such flowers in the fields, white lilies in spring and bush clovers in autumn.<br />
<br />

<br />
Regarding to lilies of ecesis, nowadays it is difficult to find them except in some special gardens.<br />
Probably "showy" is my impression on the lilies I can buy at a shop. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the other hand we can find bush clovers everywhere, in the fields, at the street corner, and on some temple ground and so on, although white ones are much less than reddish purple ones. <br />
<br />
Recently two books about Tomiko were published, and her tanka and her life are introduced by some contemporary tanka poets in them.<br />
<br />
Her husband passed away suffering from tuberculous just after one year later of their getting married, and she herself suffered from the same disease after she restarted to create tanka poems trying to console herself.<br />

To know about Akiko and her tanka poems is not difficult, for many books about it including translations in English, and Wikipedia in English(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akiko_Yosano">here</a>). <br />
<br />
In a nutshell, she fascinated many people as a flag-bearer of main stream of Romanticism, while in private life she came to have twelve children and many offspring consequently.<br />

The story of the two ladies and Tekkan was unfolded about 100 yeas ago. <br />
It seems an old story, but when I think of them walking in this field it appeared to a story of only one hundred years old.<br />
