Writing Brushes



I like all writing utensils.  I especially love pen and brushes.  I just enjoy them.

 


I wondered if I would ever come to the point of using a large brush like above.



The largest brush I saw at the center of the first floor in the Landmark Tower.



Various ink bars, not chocolate.



One ink bar gives various shades as this.    




This ink was made after the ancient model.  The ink did not shine.




This ink has a glow.  It was made included mineral.

Oookagawa


Cherry blossoms are falling and falling along the road. 



On the way to Kamioooka Station, you'll meet this gorgeous tree.  The road is less crowded.

  . 






Koi are jumping.

Those fish are quite large.

A Cherry Blossom Outing



I love cherry blossoms but not crowd. I think my neighbor, too. We went out to see the blossoms, but ended up in a restaurant, ate a hanami lunch, and came home without walking along the cherry-tree-lined river. I hope we go next weekend again. We're about the same age, grew up across a small lane, went to same schools, coincidentally we both went into a computer career, and now both are motherless. During the lunch, she was saying she became forgetful. I agreed with her. Well, we can do something about that. I'll remind her the purpose of our outing next weekend!
