（日本語は後半にあります）【English】Lately, it’s been a bit cooler, which is perfect timing since I’ve been feeling motivated to go walking, and the pleasant weather makes it even more enjoyable!The “Katsushika Iris Festival” started the day before yesterday at Horikiri Iris Garden. Horikiri Iris Garden, located in Tokyo’s Katsushika Ward, is a historic garden renowned for its vibrant display of irises, particularly during the annual Katsushika Iris Festival held in early summer. I visited right away, hoping to take some beautiful photos of the irises, but unfortunately, it was still too early, and hardly any flowers had bloomed. The iris garden before blooming looks, well, kind of like a rice paddy 😅

（日本語は後半にあります）【English】Recently, I've been feeling motivated to walk again. There are several reasons for this, but one of them is that my family wants to climb Mt. Fuji, and I've started wanting to build up enough stamina to make the climb.

（日本語は後半にあります）【English】My second son started elementary school this April, and so far, he’s been happily going every day.He’s slowly starting to make friends and seems to want to play with them after school, but that wish hasn’t quite come true yet. The reason? They haven’t figured out how to “meet up” properly 😂

（日本語は後半にあります）【English】I have two younger brothers, and this post focuses on one of them. Last weekend, I returned to my parents’ home for the seventh memorial ceremony for my grandparents. My grandfather passed away on New Year’s Eve 2017, and my grandmother the following summer in 2018. I’m one of three siblings, and both of my younger brothers are married with young children. The memorial ceremony and the gathering that followed were lively and full of energy.
