Hi, everyone!
Now I am tackling my first essay on women’s political activities in the Meiji and Taisho era, but I am no good at Japanese history, in particular of modern times. I think the more I know a survey of history, the more I can easily get the point of atmosphere at that time, and so I borrowed some comics which depict Japanese history. But I couldn’t see those situation because my ignorance about some famous people in history. I talk to myself, ’ What on earth did Ito Hirobumi do…?’ ‘Who is Kotoku Syusui…?,’ and so on.
In fact, we have been told only men’s histories of power struggles which do not concern me at all. There is no interest, there is no memory. I will have trouble understanding men’s history for some time.
So, see you soon. Have a good weekend.

Hi, cherry and friends,
I totally understand what you mean about the Japanese modern history, Cherry. I should have learned more in high school. I am not interested in men's struggle for empowerment at that time. We cannnot cry over the spilt milk, though. It is not easy, but worth doing as I am a Japanese. We should watch not to have the tragedic war again, as there is a change of generation, it is easy to forget.
I was so shocked with the food poisoning. The cancellation will be increasing. I wonder if Seikyo can stand. It is high time we thouhgt over what we eat.
Thank you for reading, my friends.
Hi, everyone!!!
It is Sunday today.
It was raining in the morning, but it cleared up toward noon. Every time we have rain these days, no matter what the rainfall is, we feel that spring is coming nearer, don’t we?
Thank you for the efforts you are making for your essay production. I know how hard it is to organize ideas and transform them into written English. It takes a long time…unfortunately. It applies not only to you but also to anyone else who tries to write an academic essay, especially, a good one.
Today I got a fantastic piece of news from one senior member, who said that she passed the interview test for her thesis toward a master degree, which means that she will graduate from her grad school with a master degree this coming March. Isn’t it fabulous?
Talk to you again tomorrow, my dear friends. Bye for now.
Hello, everyone!
I wonder if Seikyo (COOP)makes effort to distribute safe products or not? Seikyo involved many bad news inclluding Meat Hope Co. and Masuya etc and this time Chinese gyoza case.
We consumers rely on Seikyo to get safe foods, but they betrayed us many times. I don't want to buy their products anymore unless they becomes responsible to their goods.
Today I went to work as a volunteer interpreter at Yokiso in Kakuozan from morning to 3:00 p.m.
It was so cold, but one of my friends gave me Hokaron which helped me a lot.
There was an International friendship exchange event including bean throwing, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, Chinese lion dance and Bali dances.
There were many excange students from Nanzan and Shukutoku from many countries among which were Myammer, Indonesia, China, America, German, Canada, Korea etc.
More than 60 people gathered and enjoyed experiencing flower arrangement and tea ceremony, eating Ehoumaki, Oden and takoyaki.
When we volunteers went to the lunch site Oden and takoyaki were gone, but we could eat Ehoumaki. I knew the rules to eat it today.
Do you know about it?
We should eat a whole sushi role facing Ehou, which is the lucky direction in the year according to the lunar calendar, south south east for this year, without speaking and making a wish.
Though I thought it was rediculous, at first I tried to keep it, but I couldn't abide by the rule because my friend spoke to me and I gave it up.
I was so exhausted and became cold that I went to drink hot cocoa on my way home with some of my friends and enjoyed talking.
I was so impressed that one Indonesian girl wanted to show her traditinal dance 'Janpon', one of the Bali dance of west Java , and asked me if she can dance in public. I asked the organizer and he said OK, so she could dance beautifully. Amazingly she brought her costume and music tape with her. She was very brave 'TOBIIRI'.
One guy from Latvia, who spoke good Japanese and now he is a Nanzan exchange student,wanted to experience flower arrangement and enjoyed a lot. When he was given the flowers he was very pleased, saying 'Utukushii mono wo miruto, kokoromo utukushikunaru.' His Japanese was very Utukushii.
Today there were many active foreigners. I wonder if Japanese students in foreign countries are so active?
Hello, again.
I luckily passed the Guide Test.
I wonder if I can get some jobs. I should be healthy and energetic for the job.
Dear Magnolia,
Congratulations on your success in the examination.
What a brilliant piece of news it is!!!
You must be very happy about it, and I am extremely delighted about your excellent achievement.
