Today was a very slow day. I woke up at my usualy time, sat, watched a couple of shows and then went to practice shakuhachi by the river. I returned, sat watched some shows ate lunch, wrote more in my paper and translated the cover to my shakuhachi notation book. That was fun. It says: 尺八楽譜 shakuhachi notation 邦楽社発行Japanese music association publication 米谷和男民謡選集Yoneya Iwao folk song selection. I tried to translate some of the song titles but many are old names and words I couldn't seem to find. I'll have to ask someone to tell me what they are. I added the new kanji to my 'to learn kanji' list. I drew an ink picture with a brush pen I bought a couple of days ago. My camera ran out of batteries so I will post the pictures when I get that back up and running. These cold fall days are making me lazy I think. I wander less, but get more writing and so forth done, I guess thats good and bad at the same time. Tomorrow I meet Masami san the woman I met on the internet to practice her English with. That will be fun. I need to take more pictures. Still have to go to Kyomizudera, Tofukuji, Fushimi Inari and the Arashiyama area. Well I guess that is all for now. Jya mata ne,
