No.12 “Have Some Candy of Snow”
Here, look,
At this wonderful,
Candy of snow.
Even mother
Could not make such a thing.
No.11 “A Boy with Ginkgo Leaves”
With each hand,
Grasping a leaf,
The boy,
Runs across a field,
On a fair autumn day.
No.10 “A Dreaming Squirrel”
Oh my, my,
The too, too gigantic,
Acorn,
Has the squirrel in the grove,
Truly stumped.
No.9 “Two Fairies”
These dear friends,
These two fairies;
Where are they going,
As they fly,
Through the wide open sky?
No.8 “In the Twilight”
In the sunset glow,
In the fields near her home,
A little girl,
With a bouquet of wildflowers in her arms,
Is lost in thought for a moment.
No.7 “Seashells”
On a summer day,
In a quiet room,
I say to myself,
“Like a seashell,
I too am solitary.”
No.6 “A Boy Playing the Flute”
If a boy,
Plays the flute,
On a green hill,
Its clear sound,
Will expand out to the sky.
No.5 “Playing Alone”
A little boy,
In the field alone,
With the dandelions,
Happily in play,
He loses himself.
No.4 “A Tree of Friendship”
Where flowers bloom,
In a field of green,
Children,
Join hands,
To surround a tree.
No.3 “My Friend Music”
Music is,
My constant,
Companion,
In times of joy,
And in times of sadness.
No.2 “Frolicking Angels”
Throughout the year,
In any month,
The angels can be found,
Frolicking among the flowers,
And singing their songs.
No.1 “Album of Memories”
In my heart,
Bloomed, without me noticing,
A flower, which,
I call “Hope,”
That I want to cherish.

The Joy of Canon’s “Work of Artbility Artists”
2012 was a very memorable year for me. This was because my painting and poetry were included in Canon’s “Work of Artbility Artists.”
Hoping that many people would express an interest in my work, it was a delight to sit before my computer with my heart beating with excitement!
I am deeply grateful to all the people at Canon and Artbility. Thank you so very much.
