No.12 "Beautiful Night II"
On a beautiful winter night, we sing Handel's Messiah, The pure singing of the choir resounds, Were you the one who rang the tree chimes?
No.11 "The First Snow of the Season"
Snow has begun falling lightly in the garden of our beloved home too.
It is the arrival of the season that thrills the child in me.
Both my parents and my grandparents all observed seasonal events with great care, and we children always looked forward to them.
No.10 "The Waltz of the Withered Leaves"
Life is like the ever-changing clouds,
But still too short to realize all one's dreams.
Cry a lot,
Rage a lot,
Laugh a lot.
Please, let's be friends forever.
No.9 "Let's Play, Ecchan"
When we three sisters were children:
I clung to my second sister Ecchan, who was four years older than me. Whether playing with our identical dolls, at snack time or during the night when going to the bathroom far down the dark hallway where monsters seemed to lurk, we were always together whatever we did.
No.8 "Swaying in the Wind"
If you walk the road of the cosmos
The gift of the gentle breeze
Open your ears and see
No.7 "Life "
Though your heart trembles, easy to hurt
Feelings of sadness will not go on
Forever
No.6 "Waterside Gifts"
A school of killifish. Quiet! Look! Be careful not to fall in!
There they are, playing and frolicking!
No.5 "Wishing Upon a Star"
As I wish for peace on Earth,
I want to live truthfully,
Building a life of simple happiness with you,
One day at a time.
No.4 "The Night of the Hazy Moon"
The rape blossoms are here again this year.
I hum a favorite old tune
Letting it waft on the pleasant breeze,
And for some reason my heart swells with emotion...
No.3 "Let It Be Spring"
Springtime, taking my first steps as an aspiring first grader.
Springtime full of dreams, red backpack on my shoulders.
No.2 "Prayerful Winter"
This picture and the accompanying poem are compositions from when my mother was in hospital.
No.1 "Little Angel Days"
Whenever the snow starts to fall,I am somehow filled with excitement.
