HI, ladies!!
We can get a lot of messages from these days’ political situation in both Japan and USA, can’t we? I am glad to see some incredible female candidates there, and hope more and more future generation will be involved in a political field, in spite of its hard job. Here in Japan, I wonder if Yuriko Koike will be the first female member of the three key officials of the LDP, Jiminto.
Magnolia, thank you for letting me know the recipe of figs wine jelly. It seems really tasty, and I’ll try it soon! By the way, I feel cooking in English is so excited, and I want to learn it, preferably, Japanese or Italian food. Of course, I wanted to watch Delia’s How to Cook, the TV program Plum recommended before, but I couldn’t see it on my TV condition. Is it the time when I should bring in a new TV system, as Peach did?
Plum, I was amazed with your student’s beautiful English, and also embarrassed with my poor one. I’d like to write it more properly and comfortably.
Well, see you tomorrow, good bye!

Hello, friends,
It is August 4th, cloudy with occasional shower. Today I went to Wil Aichi to see a movie 'Haraguchi Tsuruko no Syogai'. She studied psychology in Columbia university about 100 years ago by herself and got a doctoral degree. The director who studied filming in New York happened to sit next to Tsuruko's granddaughter and was moved by her story, which motivated her to make the film. Tsuruko examined how the mental fatigue influenced on the concentraltion by multiplying four figures for two days. Unfortunately she died young in her twenties.
Even if my step is small, I'd like to keep on looking forward, not looking back.
Dear friends!
I’d like to rewrite my comment disappearing somewhere before, trying to remember the content.
I was attracted one line written by Alice. “…He( Mr. Pole?) had a dream that one in ten would become a Christian one day in Japan.” I am sorry to say this, but his dream has not come true. The entire population on the earth is 670 billion. One out of three is a Christian, one from five is Muslim and one from seven is Hindu. On the other hand, Japanese statistics for religions shows the different result. In reality, Christians account for only near one percent of Japanese population and Muslims and Hindus’ number is so small that they cannot be expressed in figures. I had mentioned figures more in detail in the last one and this is the only summary. In spite of strenuous efforts of many missionaries, I wonder why Christianity hasn’t penetrated through Japanese deeply. However, its ideas and culture have surely influenced and changed Japanese society. The power of influence is not always a matter of numbers.
Thank you for reading. See you again, everybody!
