Sometimes I'm not sure what I want to do. I'm wondering about my life.
Meeting with someone is troublesome but I want to meet with someone. Cannot live alone, for anybody. For anybody. Living alone is lonely.
I would like to go to meet with him or her, to talk about something. But he didn't give me a good reply, she didn't give me a good reply. In these days.
Why? Why doesn't he give me a good reply? And she does too.
I want to go on a journey somewhere now. Because I want to encounter someone.
Although, the world is closing now. In around me. I don't know why. The world is closing around me.
In the case of Japan, we have two types of persimmons. One is sweet persimmons and another one is bitter persimmons.
You would say that nobody likes bitter persimmons. However, many Japanese like this bitter type. We have the reason why.
Bitter ones have the shape like a tip of a Japanese brush for writing Japanese calligraphy. We cannot eat this, if it is still raw. Of course we don’t eat bitter persimmons. We have a way to be able to eat it. That is a way of making dried persimmons.
In this season, within the countryside, you can see the scenery where so many persimmons are hung in front of houses. They are the scenery where people are making dried persimmons.
Dried persimmons are very sweet. But it’s not sweet like chocolate. It’s unique sweet which fruits have in many cases. I didn’t like persimmons very much in my childhood, but I like them now. The reason why may be because I aged.
Last week, my wife hung the peeled persimmons on the balcony of our house. When one week passes, those persimmons are able to be eaten step by step. I like it.
In this season, you can find fruits of tea on the ground around tea trees. Of course, it’s a story within Japan. Also today, I picked up such fruits while taking a walk.
In Bairin park, it’s a name of a park near my house, many tea trees are planted. This park has a long history. One famous tycoon made this around in the 20th century, with spending his private assets. Now anybody can play in this park. When spring comes, many plum trees will bloom.
Next week, I’m going to plant a tea tree in my small garden. And I heard that it’s difficult to grow such tea trees. In the case of Japan, speaking of tea, it means green tea. And Japanese green tea has many kinds of tea.
In those teas, “Macha（抹茶）” is most famous, as a Japanese food. Macha has a strict way of drinking in “Sadou（茶道）”, which is code of tea culture. If you drink it too easily, you will definitely be scolded by the master. “That’s not correct!”
Therefore, of course, I’m not going to make Macha. I’m an easy and simple person. It’s okay and enough for me to only see tea trees growing starting next year.
