Welcome to my Owl’s Cottage.
At dawn of the Year of Umbrella, i.e. my eightieth year,
I sit here and ponder what has passed and what awaits me ahead.
This humble website of mine, aptly named “Owl’s cottage, is an answer
to my momentary contemplation – a forum whereat I want to exhibit
what little gift left me at my own disposal, for one, to help disseminate
the infinite cultural charms of my homeland Japan and, for two,
leave my meager footsteps behind
for the sake of record for my posterity.
