　　　　Arrival in Vienna
In November 2015, I successfully completed three concerts in Vienna that had been planned for two years.
The venue was different from the Embassy of Japan Cultural Center, University of Vienna (sponsored by the Department of Japaneseology), and Buddhist Center (sponsored by the Philosophy Department of the University of Vienna).
”Arrived on the evening of the 2nd, contacted Noriko Brandle, who was indebted to me, and then went to the venue for the next day. However, it is the Japanese embassy that is not enough to walk. Facing the street, the entrance to the Cultural Center. As soon as we arrived, the dinner was a rice ball bought at Narita, a staple of recent overseas trips. Although saltiness is reduced, it is enough for the belly that has been trapped in the plane for a long time and is reversed day and night. German-speaking hotels do not have pots in their rooms, so bring a few tea bottles of tea and buy gas-free water locally. I will stay for a whole week, so I will buy unlimited tickets on the bus, subway and tram. There is no ticket check for a stable society with high mutual trust.

Day 2
The next day, take a tram for 30 minutes and head to Heiligenstadt, famous for Beethoven's writing of his will. (more…)

This is Takashi Tokuyama.
Takatomo Takeuchi, Chikurin, who was indebted to us at the seminar and Takeoniki (Brown Rice Vegetarian and Fukizen Shakuhachi Association), passed away on April 15.

The night was held only by relatives and the farewell ceremony was at Atami where my parents were. I remembered my relationship with her, and I contacted her in my heart. I have also heard that there are many other people who have a relationship with Chiclin. If anyone other than the above mentioned contact person knows, I would like to ask you to forward it to memorize the memories of the deceased.

In addition to the above activities, I took on the witness when she was married to the United States (it seems like a matchmaker on a document that guarantees marriage in that area), and in the 1980s, He was the manager of a nationwide performance tour. After that, Chikurin became a Oriental medicine qualification and opened locally. I have heard that my child who had visited there was a good job and wanted to live permanently, but I came home because of my parents who had retired in Atami. (more…)

In the last week of June, I took a 9-day tour to see only Germany using my family holiday.
A regular tour of a major travel agency, it was also cheap (like us), there were people who switched from other plans, a total of 39 Nantes.
I went out thinking that it would not be possible to organize or interact with this number of people as a whole, but my expectations were completely lost. Two super-aggressive couples became the catalyst, and the barriers often associated with group trips were removed. I have often said that my husband is a choir. The doll shop in Ryogoku and the retired school principal in Misawa have a wife who is not inferior to her husband's super-extrovert, and the couple actively engaged in diplomacy. It can be said that this has propagated considerably.
There were 86-year-old men traveling alone and two nephews from the Jodo sect, and their existence was conspicuous. Speaking of 86 years old, it is two years higher than my mother-in-law who lives with me. Mother-in-law travels around the world until 75 and 6 years old (and it is still a remote area) and still goes by train to poetry and calligraphy classes. Still, recently, long-time vehicles are difficult, so considering that, traveling alone at the age of 86 is a miracle. However, this man is said to be extremely poor in darkness and sleep in a room with a machine to relieve his apnea symptoms. After I knew my age and asked about this, I was working hard. I heard a variety of stories, such as the wife who was shocked by his hospitalization being beaten first, and since he was alone he has been actively involved in day homes etc. It was. (more…)
