Live For The Moment

Listen to the voice from the past.

Think of the future you have to leap into.

Live for the moment.

How Slow Do You Run?

I often have a time to enjoy running in the Osaka Castle Park.

There I see so many runners enjoy running, young and old, male and female.

But most of them run faster than I.

I don’t run faster than 10km per hour (6 minutes per kilometer).

As you know, I’m not an athlete but a running traveler.

I just want to enjoy time passing slowly.

I want to have time to enjoy as many views as possible and time to feel at ease.

Probably the pace I run has something to do with the pace I live.

Life is too short to live as everyone knows.

But life is too long to run slow for us runners.

Have a nice run of your own!

Pray For PEACE!

Today August 15 is "Memorial day for the end of the war" and in Japan we pray for PEACE each year to mark the Japanese Instrument of Surrender which effectively ended World War II.

May all of us, citizen of the world live in harmony and PEACE.

We can make continuous efforts to create WORLD PEACE, which is the heritage we should hand down from generation to generation.

Life Is Adventure

To be honest, I come to a deadlock here, there and everywhere.

I ask myself if it’s okay with me so very often.

Actually my life is full of failure and reflection but I never want to　regret.

Sometimes I cannot face the reality  busy with chasing the dream and ideal.

But on reflection, this is not only the case of adventure but life itself is also the same.

Hardships and trials will happen everywhere both in adventure and in our daily lives.

Be flexible and stay positive.

If we cannot get away from anything even if we try to, all we have to do is hit against the wall.


This is what I am after living my own way different from the ordinary.

I believe I’m happy being my-true-self.

All the pioneers or new frontiers hit against the wall.

We’d better have fun overcoming any hardships and trials.

Life is not easy but tough and hard…that’s what I know.

WA=PEACE & HARMONY

Walked and ran with One-Tooth Geta in Osaka Castle Park.

This is the time for communication with the earth through this unstable footwear.

While trying to let the earth feel my heart beating, I feel the earth breathe.

Trying to fill myself with the heart of WA, I feel comfortable getting into this world.

The heart of WA is a mind of Japanese who love PEACE.

It's also a generous soul which can harmonize with anything around us.

Yes, I love One-Tooth Geta!!

Step By Step

If I always put off what I must do and spend my time doing what I don’t have to do, I will not live my life enjoying what I want to do.

Only time is definitely passing by while I am making excuses for something to deceive myself.

Is this my life?

The older I grow, the more difficult it becomes to control myself.

It’s because I am spoiled by myself somewhere in my mind.

It’s necessary for me to take an objective look at my-inner-self.

I guess I have to set my consciousness on higher dimension in order to deal with reality.

Although I am trying to master the secrets of something, what I got to do now might be make each and every step of mine.

With Finely-Honed Mind And Body

Now I live in Temmabashi, Osaka.

The entrance of Osaka Castle is just 500 meters away from here.

Many runners enjoy running early in the morning every day.

I also run but sometimes enjoy walking on Ipponbageta or One-Tooth Clog with deliberate steps.

This unstable footwear is quite interesting just because it is unstable.

Soles of my feet are definitely able to catch even slight unevenness and bumps.

Sometimes a state of my mind may affect the walk.

With finely-honed mind and body, I’d like to value the time to interact with the earth.
