Today's languages of flowers

     One of the flowers on October 18th is "Japanese beautyberry".  This flower is called "Murasakishikibu" in Japan.  This is the same name as Murasaki Shikibu, who is famous as the author of "The Tale of Genji" over a thousand years ago.

     The flowers bloom a cute pink flower in June or July.  And, they produce purple berries in the fall.  I like them because my favorite color is purple and the flowers are so cute!

     Then, "Japanese beautyberry" has some languages of flowers.  I would like to introduce them known in Japan.  They are "intelligent", "elegant", and "lovable person".  "Intelligent" and "elegant" may relate to Murasaki Sikibu because she is known as a intelligent woman.  And, "lovable person" is from "Hikaru Genji", the main character of "The Tale of Genji".  In the story, he was really loved by so many people.  In short, these languages of flowers are came from "Murasaki Shikibu".

     It is first time for me to introduce the languages of flowers, but they are very interesting.  Someday I want to write about the flowers from other days.

The Problem of Microplastics

イメージ
      photo-ac.jp      Today I would like to talk about "microplastics".  We often hear about it in the news these days and it is a serious problem on a global scale.   They are tiny plastic particles floating in the sea.  It is caused by human activities, for example, when garbage thrown away by humans is shattered in the sea.  And they cause damage not only to many creatures but also to humans because sea creatures take microplastics and harmful substances attached to them.  Terrifyingly, microplastics are so small that they may accumulate in our bodies without being noticed.    Moreover, they are increasing with the consumption of plastics, but no effective recovery method has yet been found.   Therefore I think that it is one of the most dangerous problems.      To solve this problem, I think we should work together around the world.   For example, Japanese stores begin to charge for plast...

Ghost Hunt

イメージ
       Today I would like to talk about one of my favorite books.  It is “Ghost Hunt”, which was written by Fuyumi Ono.      This is mystery and horror story.  It is a series novel, and the first volume is a story about exploring the psychic phenomenon of the old school building.  A high school girl, a boy who is a director of research offices, and other unique psychics search for the cause of the mysterious phenomenon, but...      I am not good at horror novels, but I recommend this book because it is not too scary.  I am sure that you really enjoy this book.  Also, Fuyumi Ono's book called “The Twelve Kingdoms” is also very interesting, so if you have not read it yet, please read!!

Looks of Moon

イメージ
       When you look up the sky on a brighter night than usual, you often see the beautiful full moon.  In Japan, it looks like rabbits pounding steamed rice into cake, which is called mochi.  However, it seems different in other countries.  For example, it looks like a grandmother reading a book in Northern Europe, a crab in Southern Europe, and a long-haired woman in North America.  And, it looks like a barking lion in Arabia and a crocodile or donkey in South America. These look so different not only due to cultural differences but also due to the difference in the inclination of the pattern of the time zone when looking at the moon.      I like rabbits making mochi, but I also want to see the shapes of other countries.  Especially, I am interested in a long-haired woman and a crab.  So, I have to go other countries to see... photo-ac.com
