Moving and the latest events

We, our family, moved temporary house January to rebuild our house. Probably it was built about 100 years ago. These photos were taken after moving. Some families, who were related with this house before, helped our moving.












































I have heard that about four generations have lived in this house, including me. There are many tombstones in our grave so many generations must have lived in this land. I know my father has a long paper about our ancestors written by chief of temple my family belongs to. It was written about 30 years ago so it was done as far as he had known. Actually no one knows who lived here a long time ago. Anyway, many people must have protected this land and even now my parents also have this spirit.

Now I live in Oshino village. It is a little far from my home. In addition, my corporation is one of global companies so I don’t know when where I will live in future. My brother also seems to want to work in the world of International Corporation. For us it is hard to live in this land but I want to take my home carefully because our ancestors continued to protect it for a long time.

I took some photos of my empty house without our furniture and so on. I felt so sad. One year later, our house my father designed is going to be rebuilt. He is filled with plans of new his house.

Left woman is our neighbor who seems to miss my mom in next house. Right woman is my mom

Shinjo’s birthday party
































This is Shinjo who is my work friend. Namiki’s wife, Ritsuka, made foods for us. It is so delicious and the party was so funny that I drank so much though next day was work. Shinjo always makes crazy face, so shy boy!


Snowbird tour
































We went to Hakuba. It takes 3 hours there by car. There has more snow than here but not so much. We enjoyed free riding and snowboard park. I took many movies so please wait for our PV. Probably it will be funny.

Finally you updated your blog. I told Judy about your photos and today I spoke with her and she mentioned you have news on your blog. It has been a long time since you have written on it. I enjoy reading about your family and they must be so excited to be building a new home on their old lot. And your father is very talented to make the plans for the new house. One day it will be your house I suppose. Most of the time you are living in your company's apartment? Keep this blog going now so we can see the progress of the new home.
