Alto Recorder 2 （アルトリコーダー ２）

I bought it when I had been in US about twenty years ago for participating an academic conference held at University of Washington in St. Louis.



At that time, I had a presentation regarding my invention as poster session. Now the invention is well known as very unique material in our business field. So this Alto Recorder is very memorable article for me.

Alto Recorder （アルトリコーダー）

Our children played this Alto Recorder in elementary school.
They used it on the music class.
So it was attached name tag on the flank.
My son's name was put on his sister's name.


Now no one play it.

Sopranino Recorder （ソプラニーノリコーダ－）

I don't know why two Sopranino Recorders are in our house.

We usually call a soprano recorder, 縦笛(TATE BUE） in Japanese.
But we have to call a Sopranino Recorder ｿﾌﾟﾗﾆｰﾉﾘｺｰﾀﾞｰ in Japanese to sort out it from Soprano Recorder.
We never it 縦笛(TATE BUE).

Soprano Recorder （縦笛）

To my surprise, there are many kind of instruments in my house.
I would like to show you a Soprano Recorder (SP) first of all.
Unfortunately, the mouthpiece of the showed SP disappeared, so this photo should be like this.



This is a musical score for Guitar and SP.

When I was single, I had enjoyed to play the SR with a Guitar which my friend played.

The following score is for a clavier and SR.

After marriage, I had enjoyed to play it with my wife playing a piano for a couple of months.

Celestial Visitant （目映いばかりの月灯り）

Icicle （氷柱）

Last night must be most coldest in this winter.
My wife found out the faucet with an icicle at our garden in the morning.


It's out of common. To lap over some chances will make such an Icicle.

We never see it again. I think.

The table clock is an award of second place in our company's golf competition more twenty years ago. Now I did quit it. I don't play golf for more than ten years.

Cordial gratitude and Goodbye !!! （感謝感激）

This my watch which my family presented didn't work since yesterday.
I have taken on it for fifteen years, I love it.
But my watch used to stop in every winter. since a couple years ago.
Even so, when I wear it. The hand of watch will go ticktock feeling the warmth of my arm skin.
Every morning in winter, I have to adjust time of it using the crown before going to my office every morning.

But I cloud not turn around the crown of the watch yesterday morning.

This is new one which my children presented to me last year for my retirement.


They did present another one for my wife also.
These are fully automatic watch, so we never do anything for maintenance.
Just wearing them as pair watch.


Thanks my lovely children and goodbye old my watch, and hello new our watches!!!

Strawberry's flower （早咲きの苺）

I found out a miscreant strawberry which has the flower in our garden yesterday. Last year, I found out the strange phenomenon in the place. I have been growing the strawberries for five years. I had never seen such a phenomenon.
