Current My Circumstance

I worked as a computer software engineer for 20 years and later moved to a swimming coach instructor. After working full time for seven years,I’m now a part time swimming coach, and belongs to an acceptance supervision organization for foreign technical intern trainees.

On the other hand, ShorinjiKempo started at the age of middle school, and is now six dan degree level. I also served as director of Odawara brunch, where I worked hard to practice with children in my dojo twice a week.

I published my first novel, “The Wings of the Phoenix”, because I wanted to convey as much detail as possible to the world about the local Matsubara Shrine Festival in Odawara, which I’ve been involved in since I was a child. It’s also on Amazon as an e-book now.

So, I still love swimming. It enters the sea in the local Miyukigahama-beach alone from about June, and it dives by free dive to 7 or 8 meters bottom of the sea.

Novel of the Phoenix Wings

     In November 2018, my mail box of G-mail account has got some of questions. Then I was asked about Matsubara shrine festival via my making shrine’s web site. He started to ask me, “Can I ask you some of questions about shrine’s festival?” and he continued like this.

“I would like to know, where does the course select the portable shrine during festival three days because I couldn’t find all 28 region’s festival offices although I follow your making festival map when I searched.”

Then I soon answered him, “Some of festival offices are not permanent therefore the offices are built at the place even if it needs.”

So, I have a decision to write a memorandum of the festival scene as soon as I answered him via e-mail. After this, I wrote a memorandum of the festival situations. But I found that it’s too uninteresting unfortunately thereupon I soon changed my concept and I decided to write a novel. By this, I must assemble fiction story for only interesting!!

     At first, I wrote a festival way of thinking and a festival method the first half of the story because I want every reader to understand our Matsubara shrine’s festival before entering the main story.

From story middle, a hero of “Hana” enters the stage with her friend of “Yuko”. They will be affected anything happening each other during this festival without fail. Absolutely, these happenings were the all truth.

I can’t help wishing all readers to know our special festival in Odawara city, Kanagawa prefecture.

Thank you.

I cannot keep this rule

When I went to restaurant with my wife for taking dinner together I ordered beer then I was asked by waiter, “You don’t drive a car, do you?” I always answered, “Absolutely, I don’t drive after drinking an alcohol.” But then, a waiter asked me, “You don’t drive a car and a bicycle, do you?”

Me: Bicycle…!?

Then I said to him, “Why I can’t ride on a bicycle after drinking a beer? Bicycle haven’t got an engine!!” and I said “I might ride on a bicycle after drinking a beer.”

To begin with, I’m obliged to ride a bicycle when I drink an alcohol because of prohibition driving an automobile nevertheless I can’t ride a bicycle.

I never acknowledge and I’ll use a bicycle after drinking an alcohol.

I want to complain to a person who made a decision this crazy rule. “I wonder why you don’t decide to prohibit a drinking alcohol in itself.”

Looking strange dream last night

I saw a very strange dream after a long time.

Here is somewhere countryside, time is looking like afternoon, I and my friend go into the forest together. Then a cave suddenly appears front of us… We don't hesitate to go inside because we can look a light from the other side of the hole. We could go through other side as we are digging a gravel by our hands. At last, we exit the hole and we just look a wooden building front of us. This building looks like old wooden school building…

We go inside the building and we can see some of people who queue front of a certain office. I soon feel very strange feeling from them and I think, there're many strange persons in the office. We want to go through this office but office door is open we will find inside persons when we go through… I request to enter inside a room to my friend. My friend accepts my request and he go inside!! But he soon flies out to the corridor and he said, "Let's go out here and we have to return back to the hole right now. I'll explain anything after return through the hole!!"

We run to the hole and we soon return inside together. The hole is closed we dig a gravel very hard but we can't go through the hole at last!! I said, "We cannot return and this hole is gradually buried. Hurry up to get out this hole." Reluctantly, we go back to strange world again. What should we do after this… Should I try to enter the strange room for understanding anything or not?

I don't know but I understand gradually. This world is different, for example time is long. A day time is 24 hours in our world but this world is twice as large long as our world thus it's over 48 hours. In other words, this world is not our life. Can we go back to our world?

Guest house (Vacation rentals)

Recently, my neighbor house had sold a guest house company suddenly. The company employee came to me for greeting about new business at that house. My other neighbor looks like so anxious this guest house very well. This area is very old traditional region thus inhabitants are living here ancestral. Especially, Odawara city has a very long history as well as Kyoto, Osaka regions. It’s over 1,000 years very famous castle town in Japan. Maybe, this guest house users will be foreigners mainly and I believe that they will bring some of problems to our neighbor without fail. My job is a technical intern trainee acceptance therefore I’m always connection with many foreigners every day.

Then I teach them at first to be silent because Japanese dislike noisy very well. For example, it isn’t possible to ring a sound car klaxon horn due to prohibition by raw. Even if you talk to someone normal voice at night, neighbor living person will call police soon because of noisy complaint. Anyway, noisy trouble is a top problem in Japan. Every supper should have to eat only family members with silence it’s a ban a party with many friends when it takes a supper. I can’t believe many foreigners will not take place a party each time of their supper.

And top 2 trouble is a garbage problem. Japanese should have to wash many garbage by water before throw away because garbage will be bad smell soon especially summer season thus our Japanese wash garbage by water. Bad smell is a public pollution therefore a neighbor person will be guard for dumping ground every day. Even if you throw away garbage without wash, you can’t throw away next time because watch keeping person soon return your garbage to you. I can’t believe many foreigners will wash garbage before throw away.

NHK swindle money out of persons

NHK staff suddenly came to my home for contract of subscription fee payment. I soon send him away from my home because I dislike NHK.

Actually, NHK swindle money out of persons. I know that they cheated Vietnamese technical interns for taking an illegal contract of subscription fee payment. However, the NHK doesn’t ask for Chinese technical inters...

Do you know why? NHK receives the capital of the large amount from China. They discriminate against a person clearly.

At first, technical interns live in Japan several days yet they don’t speak Japanese yet too and they don’t have a TV. But NHK could make them covenant compulsorily. I contact with NHK as soon as I knew fact of contract.

NHK never approve this illegal contract. Absolutely I soon make a protest and I requested cancellation but they refused with sweet words. I was really angry for their method. This is a crime.

I soon instruct technical interns to cancellation their bank account because NHK subscription fee payment is withdrawal from bank account. I told NHK about their bank account cancellation then NHK said to me, “Is that your method?”

NHK method is a crime but my instruction is only defense!!

They are asking citizens, “A subscription fee payment is impartiality therefore we demand all.” I don’t understand NHK of this comment. And I really don’t pay for them forever. If they want to make me got a contract, explain and apologize this illegal fact of contract on TV news.

They are a quarrel state right now

Suddenly, my smartphone was ringing a bell. I received, “Hello, this’s Hitoshi Yamaguchi.” “Hi, Mr. Yamaguchi I’m Betty.” And she said, she wants to commit suicide. I soon ran to her apartment after hanging up a phone.

It needs over 40 minutes from my home to her apartment by a car. We talked together as soon as I arrived. I said, “What’s happen to you? Tell me please.” She said, “I’m fighting with my colleague and I’m limit of patience.”

According to her, her colleague often says nasty things therefore they are a quarrel circumstance for a while.

After this, I talked with her colleague about their quarrel. Her colleague said, “She has many problems. For example, she always returned back to home late night it’s over 2:00 a.m. and she’s often getting out home at 4:00 a.m. I always open my eyes when she returned back thus I can’t get a good sleep so long time. I’m limit of patience.”

I said them that you have to return back to China even if you can’t make a reconciliation together. They look like to agree their reconciliation.
