Hi, everybody.
Peach, thank you for letting us know about haibutsukisyaku. We’ve greatly owed those missionaries the benefits, haven’t we!
These days I am so overwhelmed by the history of England, a lot of kings and queens, politicians, social reformers, and others…. It was not until recently that I studied about them so seriously. There are the map of England and the family tree of the royal family attached on my notebook, and I feel myself like as a student when I am gazing at them.
Yesterday I found an article on a monthly magazine for car drivers, saying the reason why a prince of Britain is called ‘Prince of Wales.’ The author says when Edward I conquered Wales in 13C, he made his son use that name so as to get along with the Welsh. I didn’t know about it. I am quite a beginner for British history, and there is a long way ahead of me.
Well, see you tomorrow. Bye!

Dear Cherry and friends,
Cherry, thank you for your pleasant comment. As for Haibutuskisyakyu, I feel very odd.
Tenshin Okakura was againt it and was dismised for the slander saying he had spent too much money to preserve the assets. He felt depressed when he saw a wooden image of kannon whose face was damaged severly on purpose. I was shock to watch it on TV, too. It was the Meiji government policy which decide to break down the temples and images to catch up the Western culture. Can you believe this fact? Koukikoureishiryoseido,
the medical treatment system for the higher elderly people (?) seems to be the one which is as absurd as Haibutuskisyaku, or even worse as we are living.
