    this is a place I visited last year, Yakushima
    it is an island of the great nature as it is a model place of Mononoke hime (Princess Mononoke)



    きな地図で見る

    It took about 6 hrs to get to see the famous BIG tree which is "A" spot.
    and took 6 another hrs to go back...
    but the island was REALLY great I mean, not only the nature but also people.
    every people I saw greeted me. which we will not experience in the city.
    and I so a lot of animals who are also nice to us.

    I have other places that I want to visit but definitly I want to visit Yakushima again sometime.


    the following blogpost was added on 10/27
    B: it is a place callled "Yakushima guide club" which introduces tourists about Yakushima. A little bit far away from the place where all the hotels gather.
    C: "Yakushima drive in" where some accesories and foods are sold. this is the link yakushima drive in
    D: "Yakusugi shizen kan" which shows trees's history and has a cafe. Yakushima Shizen Kan

    this means the memory I remember is the warmth of the white big land
    I was inspired by this picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/44101777@N04/4241905167/ by Rubie B
    this picture remembed me the days I had in canada
    although it was really cold (like -30 in the winter), I remember the warmth of host family and the sun comes from close sky.

    the following was added on 10/27
    In order to put a picture here, I added a new blogpost here.
    Although this is the different picture that I put the link above, this is also a great picture that I had seen it before in Canada.
    Since the sky in here I see is very narrow, I cannot see it well and it sometimes has a beautiful color of change from purple to pink but it is not so easy to see it well.
    I have a lot of things that I love about Canada. but the beautiful broad sky would be the top of the things that I love.

    Now I am going to write about the response to Timmyboy.

    well... I do not know but somehow I felt what the speaker was talking about makes me want to create more arts which includes like music, photos and evertying that I think it is creative.
    Although I take pictures just as my hobby, I do not really have confidence in my creativity of photos.
    so that I had thought that I may not be allowed to regard or call myself as an "artist".
    and as you know, just a bad cycle of thinking starts.
    no confidence→no desire to take photos→no creativity of myself
    but it seems like, it is free to express myself through art and I can call myself as an artist.

    according to the speaker, creativity is not inherited. well... in my case, I hoped it did.
    I have mentioned several times on my blog and some people in my class already know but I used to go to a music kindergarten through high school (which my mother who graduated from music university hoped me to be a violinist or music related person) and music was EVERYWHERE and I spent most of the time of my life for music till like years ago. but now, my life is out of music! why?
    Eventhough my mother seems to have a music talent, and eventhough I was in creative environment of music as the speaker said that it is good to create art, I have nothing of music.

    However, I agree with the idea that we all are artists because this idea totally decided me to make more art because I feel free to express anything through art by the idea as I mentioned above.
