Sosekido

The school Sosekido (素石堂) was formed by my sensei, Unkotsu Komine (小峰雲骨) many years ago. I was 13 years old when I first met him, and it was the beginning of my long-time calligraphy path.

Footprints of the leaf- the Pyrenees

pyrenees 2 037aWhen I was little, the time didn’t exist. A day seemed to be extremely long and I was always wishing to finish the school because there was so much things I wanted to do. The time seemed to be infinitive. Now after so many years, a little girl has become an “adult” and there are so many things I have to do. Every night realize that I didn’t do maybe a half of I wanted to do. The time seems to be relative. When I was little, I ran a lot in order to get one place as quick as possible, just like him. How was you?

子供の世界には時間は存在しない。1日はとてつもなく長く感じられ、私はいつも学校が終わるのが待ちきれなかった。だって、頭の中はいつもやりたいことでいっぱいだったから。時間は永遠だと思ってた。今、何年もの月日を越え、女の子は”おとな”になって、日々はやらなくてはいけないことだらけになった。毎晩寝る寸前になって、今日もやりたいことの半分もしなかったなあと考える。時間は相対的になった。子供のとき、いつも走ってた。目的の場所に1秒でも早く着けるように。彼もそんな気持ちなのかな。あなたは、どんなだった?
