After goint to habikino-city, we drop to Suiko-tennou-ryou (推古天皇陵, MAP ). I was surprised when I saw some kind of shrine and found the name of Suiko, because Empress Suiko was famous name on textbook of history at junior highschool. Around there, it is countryside and very quiet. After goint to the pavement, we can see the entrance of tomb. Acording to the information of sightseeing in Taishi town, Empress Suiko was the first empress of Japan and celebrate the culture of Asuka (6, 7 century). Around there, we can see many cultural monument of Asuka-period. After that, we went to cafe of パティシェFLOUR ( MAP ). It tastes good !

Recently popular books in Japan.

Recently, there are many how-to books or business books published, like how to stock and use informations (using internet services or notebook, etc) or the knowhow-books of memorize something. For example, we can see many books like, Kazuyo katuma , leverage thinking by Naoyuki Honma , Stydy Hacks by Ryusuke koyama , use one notebook for memo by Nobuyuki Okuno , method of memorizing by student of The University of Tokyo by Wakiko Tokuda , etc. Of course, such books had been existed before, but recently I think the number of such books are increasing. Maybe there are some reasons exist. One reason is the development of internet access (plus gear) and internet services, so we can easily get and utilize informations using Information Technology.

Interesting books,etc.

Recently, I am curious about the author "kenichiro mogi"( japanese blog , english-blog ). I knew him but until recently, I am not interested about him and his book ( I know his thema "qualia" by title ). And recently we can see him on TV and he publish many book in a short interval, and his way of thinking and point of view was very interesting to me so I read his books and website. (recently I am stuck on his website) I wonder why I am curious about his book and website, and maybe I am starving for some intellectual things. I found "hideo kobayashi", "hideo noguchi" from his writing and I aloso read the book of " kang sang jung " and he was also influenced by " soseki natume ". Also I read his blog and it refered the website "edge" which I liked, that's strange feeling and also interesting to me.

Recently thinking

Recently I often think about what is most important for me, especially when I was tired of working and lost my motivation (for ironing out the differences of opinions and failed). For me, maybe my starting point is the intention to know something new, to do something intersting, to acomplish something by my effort, to be excited! Maybe this is all. (The amount of wage and position is not so important for me if we can live carefully.) Sometimes I was at a loss what I am doing for, for what I want to do. And in such a case, I cooled down my head and ask for myself what I want to do for, then came back to the starting point and recoverd myself.
