all we live each life two times. the one is infant days with dreams and shining hopes . the other is adult life which is dameged desire and daily work. the formar is true life, and the latter is untrue and leeds to death.
that is inpressive saying in a film called indian noctune.
so far so good , i survive still today . there is no complaints when i think back my old days . everytime i remember my old memory and see those pictures , i notice that every moment of a life deserves conglatulasion.

there is contrast of tender tone of summar flowers and cruel tone of background . i think that brings something strange atmosphere to the secne . sometime it is too plain to dipicit as it really was . a small thing such as deformation of tones functions to avoid boring images.

i was born in the era of so called rapid economic growth . united states defeated our country about 20years before. they took away japanese teritorys of east and south eastasia throughry and killed a lot of innocent children by bombing . after that ,the rulers of japan decided new way to thrive the country. that is rapid economic growth. of course thet matched american policy to keep their production center in asia.
not having any colonys and natural resources , obedient and eager work force was the last importance. japanese labours worked and worked to attain economic growth. however they cannot buy house and take vacance like europians. so i think japanese workers (especially in the industrial field) are the strongest ones in the world. no other countrys beat them.
heled on the knee of factory workers with bluecolour uniform, i think this image is the symbol of the way in what era i have been born and grown up.

the word of flowerchildren means flower and children which everybody love and cherish . it is also the symbol of 1960s. they say sex ,drug and rock and roll are symbol of 1960s . i passed my peaceful days in the age of flower children. nobody cares for sex ,drug and rock and roll anymore.
real strong thing exist in flower and children , not in sex,drug and rock and roll.
