春の海, written by Kazuyo, my wife. It means "The sea in spring".

Spring has come. It was too hot yesterday. Since I had done my work sooner than I assumed at Yodoyabashi in Osaka City, I had a plenty of time until afternoon meeting. I bought a light lunch bag and tea at a convenience store, and went to Nakanoshima.  What a beautiful day!

景雲飛, written by my wife. It means "Joyous clouds wave in the sky."

I've been very busy since the middle of August. I have to get up early in the morning and I have to be late at night in my office. So I can't go anywhere except in business, I also can't read books and post any article in this blog these days. My younger daughter who is living in London seems to be busy, too. The other day she took days off and went to Germany to enjoy Christmas markets in Bremen and Hamburg.

Now in April, and the cherry blossoms season has come. We have little snow in Osaka even in the winter. But it was cold last weekend. Mountains in Osaka were covered with snow. Mt. Kongo,  1125m Mt. Iwawaki,  897m
