In Kyoto

My friend, Ryu , Soge and Keiji came Kyoto the day before yesterday.
So, I went there to see them and had dinner together at Himegozen famous for good Kyoto cuisine. It is first time in 15 years to see Keiji.
We had a very good time.

New Year day

Happy New Year.

I've come back to Osaka.

It was little bit cold but warmer than in Michigan.

So I didn't feel cold so much.

I've had a very good time in Michigan & San Francisco.

I first met my cousin's children and they were very cute guys.

On Christmas day, we went the union square and saw a big chirstmas tree.

They were very beautiful.

The last day

Today was the last day of visitting Michigan University Hospital.

And we have no major operations.

I said good bye to my colleagues and left .

This visitting has been very valuable for me.

I have learned many things that I never learn in Japan.

I miss working with them but I never forget this experiences and make them usufull for my rutine works in Japan.

Heavy snow storm

I had a very heavy snow storm on Friday . So I couldn't go to hospital.
Today it was sunny day and we drove to downtown for shopping.
I baught some texts for studying the idioms and English grammer.
They looks good for me to improve my English.
I will do them as much as possible .

Butoh

I went to see the "Buto" tonight.
Butoh is a radical, often controversial, avant-garde dance movement that began in Japan in 1959.
Dairakudakanhttp://www.dairakudakan.com/rakudaindex.html
is the oldest surviving and largest butoh company in existence.
The name of the repartoie is "Manna" which is the second collaboration between Kumotaro Mukai and Eric Santos.

Kumotaro Mukai is a principal dancer in Dairakudakan, and has performed extensively throughout Asia, Europe, North America and Middle East. Prior to joining the groupe in 1994, he was a atudent of martial in Osaka, Japan. He received the Dance Critics Society of Japan Rookie Award in 2005.

Tonight's perfomance was co-sponsored by The Centor for World Performance Studies and The Centor for Japanese Studies, University of Michigan.

I couldn't understand the world and have no words to express the inpression.
But if you're interested, I recommend you to see it once.

Thanksgiving

Today is the Thanksgiving day but I have nothing to do.

I have no transport device so I cannot go any far away.

It is boring to lounge at home.
