Twenty Roses

November 3rd ,three days ago, came to us a bit different from usual year, with this year marking our 20th wedding anniversary.

I married Kiyono at a small church in Chiba prefecture on the national holiday(Culture day in Japan), November 3rd  in 1991.
It’s not too long ago, just twenty years or two decades ago.

We had a party to cerebrate the anniversary at a small restaurant called ‘AG Café’ on the top of a hill viewing Utsunomiya city.
On our way back home, we dropped in a local flower shop and bought big size red roses.

How will 30th anniversary come to us? What will I be thinking of? Where or which country shall we live in?

Maybe, I don’t know. The answer is blowing in the wind.

Culture Day / 17th Wedding Anniversary

Today on November 3rd is a national holiday of Culture Day in Japan and also our 17th wedding anniversary. (^_^)

My wife and I went to Utsunomiya Museum of Art to see paintings and art works.
They are having a special exhibition of Leonard Foujita with whom I’m not familiar in the Museum. My wife seemed to enjoy seeing his paintings very much.

The museum has several paintings of Marc Chagall. Among all of the museum’s collections, I like his painting of “Les amoureux en bleu” or “The blue lovers” the best.

There are a small library and a souvenir shop in the museum. I found a book in which my favorite artist Ishida Tetsuya’s paintings were collected. His paintings are always very impressive. Seeing his works were fun to me.

It was cool and calm day today. I was satisfied with spending today for seeing art works and beautiful scenery around the museum.

Culture day!
