Ayako decided to present two "decorative handkerchiefs" to Ilsemarie in Germany as her birthday presents. On one is printed a portrait of a Japanese traditional beauty painted by Takehisa Yumeji. Takehisa Yumeji (1884-1934) was very famous and popular in so-called "Taisho Romantic Era".
In the other was printed a famous Matsuo Basho's haiku. "Samidare o atsumete hayashi
Mogami gawa" I had to explain it in English, but it is too difficult for me to do it. "Early summer rain gathered by the Mogami flows so fast" I tried to translate it like this, but I am not confident at all whether it is understood or not.
It snowed a little in the morning. It is still some weeks before spring to come.
I went for my walking exercise and bought some ink cartridges for the printer and sushi for my lunch on the way. Ayako went to the municipal hospital to see her friend, Mrs.Yamagishi, who is suffering from kidney desease.
