  • September Letter Opening — Autumn Quietly Appears in the Clear Sky

    September #お手紙冒頭文 (opening lines for a letter)

    Looking up at the clear sky,
    I can see the signs of autumn quietly peeking through 🌾

    Heavy rains and sharp swings in temperature.
    Every time the unusual weather continues, I feel as if the Earth is crying out.

    Even so, when I happen to look up at the sky,
    clouds that speak of autumn are spreading across it.

    As I feel the seasons change,
    may we always be able to protect
    and cherish beautiful scenery like this.

    September is already past its tenth day,
    but I hope we’ll have another good month together.

    I wrote this today with all my heart.
    Thank you for taking a look.

    I’d like to post these letter-opening phrases at the start of every month. (This month I’m a little late.)

    I also wrote it with a pen and posted it to my Stories 🙂 Please take a look if you like ✨

  • Henteko Calligraphy Club Baton 155 — “Time Travel: Heisei”

    #ヘンテコ書道部バトン155
    I’m joining the baton relay of the “Henteko Shodo-bu” (Quirky Calligraphy Club).

    Theme: “Time Travel”
    Subtheme: “Heisei”

    My Heisei era…

    The happy times,
    the hard times,
    the time I fought illness,
    the times I agonized—
    it all felt so heavy,
    and yet I made it through.
    Thirty-one years packed with memories.

    Looking back,
    it seems to have passed in a flash,
    and yet it also feels very long.

    A little time travel
    back to that era.

    Hmm… it brings tears 🥲

    Now I can laugh about all of it, so I spend each day in gratitude.

    @hmasaki2023,
    thank you for such a wonderful theme
    that let me travel back to a rich past 😊

    For the second image, I wrote all sorts of things and made it into a group photo.

  • Nagatsuki — The Long Month of September

    Nagatsuki (長月)
    September

    The traditional name for September

    Last year I wrote and posted the traditional name of each month. For September, though, I used 彩月 instead of 長月.

    “Nagatsuki” is the more familiar name, isn’t it?
    Now that I have all twelve months, I’d like to turn them into a calendar 😊

    This is the time of year when autumn nights slowly grow longer.
    The hours spent gazing at the night sky seem to stretch out, too.

    *・゜゜・*:.。*・゜゜
    The clearer the air becomes,
    the more beautiful the moon appears,
    as the autumn night deepens.
