I arrived at Osaka my hometown.

Yesterday, I came to my family home in Osaka. I offered incense sticks Buddhist altar here, and ate Sukiyaki with my family and chatted. Last night, I watched a Japan series of Baseball. Nippon-ham fighters won the series, whose field manager　is Mr. Hillman.



Hillman is a American and a great field manager. The cause of victory is that he integrated Japanese baseball and American baseball. I think his strategy is really good.



The team will advance to the championship of Asia series. As I recall, Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan get in the games. Last year's Asia series, Lotte marines, a Japanese team, won the series. The team's field manager is Bobby Valentine who is also a American and great one.



The last game of Nippon series was retirement match of SHINJO, a player of Fighters, too. Shinjyo was a player of New york Mets and Hanshin Tigers I love.



Although he wasn't a great hitter, Shinjyo was a great center fielder and Super Star of Japanese BaseBall. Many Japanese will lonely for him next year.



Tomorrow I have important occasion in Kyoto, so, today, I intend to rest and relax. This year, it is warm autumn in Japan.



I took the photo at my parent's home in Osaka. Autumn peeps itself in comfortable atmosphere.
