On January 21, it rained from the morning, and it was a gloomy day all day. In the evening, the sky was shining, and when I looked toward Tohoku, I saw a rainbow.
I was fascinated by its beauty.

I am 71 years old, retired. For the past seven years, I have been working as a traffic instructor to ensure traffic safety for elementary and junior high school students every morning when they arrive at school.
At this time of year, it is cold and difficult, but the children are energized.
This flower was given to us by an elementary school student the other day at a thank-you meeting. I'm so happy that I cry.

On January 13th, we held a local event called Dontoyaki. Ornaments collected from each house are burned to pray for a bountiful harvest and no disease. There were many difficulties such as collecting straw and maintaining the venue, but we were saved by the smiles of the children.

On December 17th, we made shimenawa for the New Year with the children.
We have been preparing by drying the rice harvested in August.
It seems that the hard work has paid off in the earnest eyes of the children.
