isang lugar sa ami machi, sa ibaraki.

ilang beses ko nang nadadaanan ang lugar na ito at ngayon napikyuran ko nang maayos habang nakahinto ang sasakyan. gusto ako ang scene na ito, umaga, may gravel na daan at damo sa paligid, lumang-lumang bahay. parang nalakaran ko na sa isang panahon na hindi ko alam kung kailan.

the Big Buddha of Ushiku (Ushiku Daibutsu) with sakura flowers, where I took my friend Raul and his family when they came to visit.

I don’t think I’ve been to see the Daibutsu in spring.
