- At dawn, crow's cry woke me up.
When I saw outside, numerous crow flied to the sky from the mountain opposite. Crows of countryside fly very high up in the sky... And I saw the lower part of the sky, part of the sky had the very beautiful red-purple morning glow. I was fascinated. The morning glow disappeared soon.
- A puppy came. Whose puppy?
- It's my daily work to blow up baloons. Nakama-san's wife said she'd thought ballons "scare-wild boar".
- Though mosquitos bite me, it isn't itch anymore now.
- In the day time, it's hot. It's hot. Hot! I want shade, anyway...
- Who lives next to the park, came back from Tokyo two years ago, and he has his own klin. Seeing his klin, I listened to him.
- He mixed soil around here and made of other places, tried many kinds of glaze andmade hundreds of sample.
- When he was in Tokyo, as he had sennse of crisis(balance of job and making pottery), he could be absorbed in making pottery. But here, though it's strange, as he thinks that he can do anytime he likes, he cannnot be absorbed as when he was in Tokyo.
As coppice was changed into afforestation and forest can't keep water, flood happens. And as they had riparian works, the rivers in Japan were spoiled...
- When he was a child, in the summer, he would wear Yukata (light cotton Kimono), and catched fireflies with a bamboo-broom. (fireflies were caught between branches of a broom.) He often forgot himself in catching fireflies and fell down in the stream from a bridge.
Fireflies were around the curve of the stream and the stream of fireflies' light was formed.
- Before this place became a park(1958), it was a tumulus. It was a hill and flat part was so small.
- There were a very very big ceder and about 10 big ceders. A rock carved "KEISHINSHUSO"(means respect for Gods and ancestor) was out on the ground flatly and it might have been a stage in the ancient time.
- Kids made the ring with sawdust and wrestled Sumo.
