I happened to read an article about your lifestyle at Kamikatsu in Tokushima where l lived for about five years. I moved to Tokyo and have been spending busy days for one year. I’m really pleased leading your full time there and looking forward to reading your letters from now on. Thank you!
I remember being taught a little obon dance and song. It was simple but it was about the Tenjin Matsuri. Lyrics were just “Tenjin Matsuri, natsu natsu ya, soo soo.” I can still hear the music and clapping in my mind.
So many great memories! I miss Japan and “semi no koe.” Thank you for this reminder.
What a lovely post. To see and understand those dances and a glimpse into lives in Japan and the importance of this time. Also, happy birthday! And thanks so much again for chatting with me.
