  • 明けましておめでとうございます!

    明けましておめでとうございます!

    Hello everyone, Happy New Year! Today is January 3, 2024, and we have just started a new year.

    At the beginning of the new year, it’s important for us to have hope and to look back at the past. I hope this new year will be full of happiness and success for all of you.

    Unfortunately, this year started with a big earthquake in Japan. A lot of people are having a hard time because of the earthquake that happened on January 1st in the Noto Peninsula. I want to send my deepest sympathies to those affected. I hope you can get back to safe and peaceful days soon.

    Also, there are still wars and troubles happening around the world. I’m really worried about what’s happening in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip. Let’s think about the people in these areas as the new year begins and what we can do for peace.

    I hope 2024 will be a year where we can overcome difficulties and find new hope. I believe each of us can help make the world a peaceful place, even with small actions.

    Please continue to support me this year. I wish you and your family a healthy, safe, and happy year.

  • The “Kojiki” was written in 712

    The “Kojiki” was written in 712

    In mythology, there is a story about a god who healed a wounded rabbit.
                        
    The god used a medicine he had.

    The Kojiki was written in 712.

    So this story is much earlier.

    It seems that there were medicines in Japan such a long time ago.

    It is a very interesting story.

  • Japan has mythologies

    Japan has mythologies

    Japan has mythologies, and there are “Kojiki” and “Nihonsyoki”, books that summarize these mythologies.

    The hero of the mythology is, of course, a god.

    However, when we study ancient history, 

    we can understand that mythological characters are human beings, people who actually existed.

    In Japan, there is a culture that after the death of a person who has served society, 

    that person is worshipped as a god.

          
    It is a very interesting story.
