# KOHO-CHI (4) <tr.> Site Proposed No.4 I had a glance of grass field from the lane.  It was over blooming flowers. There's the grass field near the arch of Susa shrine. There are four bushes.  Though there's not shade, it's good mood. An old woman told me it's property of Mr.Taguchi(liquor shop). And she walked away.  Her back was ao good that I wanted to take a picture of her.  And I called her loudly,"Excuse me."  She seemed not to hear me.  "Excuse me."  And more loudly, "Excuse me!"  "Excuse me."  I called her like shout.  But she walked away.  As I felt so strange, I didn't run after her.  But I took a picture secretly.  The old woman was like a strange creature.  Now she's out of sight, she was like a dream... The old woman was like a strange creature.  ... she was like a dream... Before I talked to her, she also relaxed down on the edge of this grass field.  I want to stay here tonight. I went to Taniguchi liquor shop (it's not "Taguchi").  A elderly woman was there.  She told me that it's not the property of Mr.Taniguchi now, so she couldn't answer.  And she told me it's the property of a person living in Hiroshima city and the property was transfered.  But I asked her more, then she told me he was her son.  I thought, "Then..."  But she told me strongly, "please think that it's impossible to put up a tent there."  And she was gone.  It's very difficult..., I explained well, though..," I thought.

# KOHO-CHI (4) <rep.> A Year Later Since it seemed difficult to find KOHO-CHI (2) and KOHO-CHI (3), I went to KOHO-CHI (4) where had a remarkable sign "Susa Shrine" first, and on the way to the shrine, I came across Mr.Morita who was a student of Computer School, and he called me "Sir" to stop. (I was embarrassed to be called "Sir" by an old man.) I asked him where Mr.Saitani's house and Susa Shrine were, he explained it to me so minutely.  He told me that he wanted to buy a computer and I recommended "iMac". As he explained, I could arrive at Susa Shrine.  There were 4 bushes and I thought it's not so different from the previous year.  But two trees were planted at the green mark of tree in Tetsuo's sketch.  There's even a tag written "Japanese persimmon."  Tetsuo had written down the name of tree as "mulberry", but I thought it was a fig tree.  Because I saw figs! <<BY-TALK>> Mr.Morita wanted to take pictures of his garden with a degital camera and put some on WWW.  "It's my property, you can go there as you like."  He said to me so delightfully and proudly.
