A cat in a grocery store in China Town. Oh, She is fat and cute. Full of hair. So, rich and warm. But, for human fatness is a crucial subject…

In every new year, people sign up for a sports gym. The rate is like a skyscraper then all gyms are full of people. Then, slowly people are falling off.

I am even bad, I still thinking that I should have to sign up for a sports gym. Even, I have not started yet. Because I know, I’ll be one of the fallers…. Oh, gosh…

However, anyway, I should stand up and go out.

ダン蔵had a serious dental surgery today. Implants. He has diabetes. His blood condition. He takes many drugs but he needs to stop some drugs a few days before. His dental surgeon is a great doctor and careful. However, this made all of us nervous. Fortunately, it went well. Thank God!

A contrail in the sky. Only after 5 minutes, one has gone, then another one is coming up.

I like the winter early evening sky. The color shows the air temperature. The sky is quiet, but the contrail like a mischievous angel. Fly around the sky. This makes me a smile.

Wish spring has come soon. and at the same time, I worry about global warming.

I wonder if this product is really good. It’s very expensive. I usually not notice this kind of product. But, I found this because of a Japanese YouTuber MB.

He introduces the Refa Grace Head spa on his channel. And it looks interesting. Then I noticed many shops carry this face product in my neighborhood. I never have seen this head spa so far, but many different kinds of Refa face massage goods can purchase in NYC. It’s costly. Is it that good?

My favorite candy, Chelsea, Yogurt Scotch. It is difficult to find in a Japanese supermarket in New York because most people prefer Butter Scotch. Often the shop doesn’t have yogurt scotch. I also like the commercial song. Bravo to the conductor Asei Kobayashi ( Aug 11, 1932 – )

Childhood memories. I loved strawberry so much when I was small. I don’t so keen to eat strawberry lately, but, I think all of the kind of berry, I think strawberry has the most beautiful shape.

miniko’s favorite favorite book, “Moti Moti No Ki”. It’s almost a classic. Because I love this book so much, I was thinking I need to translate it into English. But, I found the English translation version at Amazon US. It comes with a CD. Great! I hope many people read this book. It’s a beautiful illustration, story, and you can find Japanese culture too.

Printed Matter Inc. https://www.printedmatter.org/

Printed Matter Inc. is a book shop in NYC. It’s an amazing book shop. It carries all “printed matter”. It has “very” big-name artists book to not established artist books like me. Printed Matter Inc. gives a chance equally to every artist. It’s an only and special book shop. It should have a Nobel Peace Prize someday.

The director of the Printed Matter Max Schumann recently did his painting show in my gallery. He is a great artist. I have been asking him that he do his show in my gallery for many years. I’m glad finally his show was up.

Max Schumann show view, Tonight Where You Live, at 3A Gallery http://3agallery.com/

His parents are running a puppet theater Bread and Puppet Theather in Vermont. It is important and meaningful. I hope to visit the theater sometime soon!

Amazon US has Fumio Sasaki’s book in English. It’s amazing that I can read a contemporary Japanese mental in English.

It seems to me the image of his book cover tries to showing zen life. Actually, according to his book, he does meditation.

The Zen Master, D.T. Suzuki (1870 – 1966). He introduced “ZEN” into the western world. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963. Without him, the western couldn’t know what Zen is.
