Me in kimono ’96
Photo by Ikeno photo studio in Osaka
Portrait of ME 20 years old.
In Japan We have ritual called “SEIJIN SHIKI 成人式“
We dress up in Kimono (this Kimono my mam bought me when I was 15) and take portrait
I only wear this special KIMONO called FURISIDE 振袖(ふりそで) which means long sleeve kimono , 3times in my life(20 for seijin, 24 for my friend’s wedding , 41 for my selfie at Tenryuji coz I wanted to have special selfie)
FURISODE 振袖 is expensive special one,( so why don’t we Japanese wear Kimono that much or is it only me?)
How many times in my life, I would wear this FURISODE?
This year 2021, it’s difficult to get together (No成人式in some areas in Japan),
I wish someday They(new 20 boys and girls 新成人さんたち)could get together after CORONA world!
I wrote this short story in English in 2022(in Japanese 2000? Or…it’s not murakami’s Vanishing Elephant, so Panda is in China (not vanished …) in 2023.)
I wrote this after watching PANDA!(or I should say “HANAMI”!
In Kobe (OUJI zoo)…
Some panda went back to home(china)…pls find out more (you can google it… I saw about Japan(2), USA(1),France(1)…
I love PANDA
Panda for friendship:)!
Hope NEW panda is coming to JP again!

ROB san was sraying at Mamasan’s flat in 2010 so Rob san could meet JAH shaka !
First time Rob san was in Osaka in 1997 with Jah shaka (as more rockers?) … then Rob san met Jah shaka in Osaka again was in Osaka 2010!
If they travel around ( as a DJ touring ) around the world… it’s kind of lucky! to meet each other in Osaka! I helped Rob san so that he could go to NOON (Jah shaka was playing at club NOON and Rob san was in Osaka! he didn’t know how to walk from the station to NOON(Umeda is bit like Shibuya ! Many gates or…)
I might hear about (this kind of news…) on insta about Rob san…( how old is he now? 17 years older than me …( about same age as Mark Stewart (rip)…) He drunk a lot and… his high blood pressure… I haven’t met Rob san since 2018.

kind of colonel is…K sensei
who is a teacher at evening school in Sakai (not at my junior high school, different one), teaching math (and chemistry), smoking with pipe, kind of disabled (he can see with one eye…blocked perspective)…he taught me math when I was low teen and HE GAVE ME his CAMERA! My first ever Camera, NIKON FE and 55mm!…He talked a lot!
After I made this page (I had this poem, but it wasn’t on this photobook yet…then…) …
I don’t exactly remember
“THIS MOMENT”
like
Gabriel García Márquez…
When I started my journey in 2012,
I wanted to “create something”!(taking photos on the road!)
But never know I will write a NOVEL…(nor photos into “photobook”)
I heard (on that Novel ) “ciudad” is fictional …and he was writing “Cien años de soledad” in Mexico somewhere…
This poem was in the short movie (prototype ) called ” Parties in Other Rooms” (Show in 2007 Tower Record Cafe 3rd Anniversary photo exhibition)
I wrote this poem in 2006.
(Many words are from the title of Manga(地球へ), the books, or lyrics…!
How many can you find? I do remember what was my own words, and which one is from ..! I put my soul in it! )
In 2020 when I look back, I almost forgot what I wrote in “Parties in Other Rooms”, so I had to find out from my prototype short movie…
To get together under a groove in one place…
I do miss those miracles… Parties in Other Rooms!

Did she also? (steal?????) movie installation on the floor… (she came to my exhibition in 2016! she saw full movie!(45min!!!)…then she did something “VERY Similar” to mine..!?!? (Will she do same? if it’s part of “Architect Ban”‘s work… (I guess impossible! ) so why did she ? (photo , art , or…”architecture”!!!)

彼のFinal Essay
In 2002 (before marriage maybe?)
Somalian boy throwed a stone (3 of them one girl, and two boys were there…)
They were on top of …
Hilly bit of “here”?(maybe)
I was walking towards the entrance (of Lansdowne Court)
They attacked me from behind…
A stone hit my head (left side of ear tho I was wearing knitted hat(?)…
I looked back, ( from left side )
…then I saw “THEM”
Somalian kids (2 boys and a girl… they are kinda giggling…)
I was scared and run away… ( to my flat entrance!)
RIP MARK Stewart
One of
Bristol’s …
(I only had “Y” got it when I was a teenager…?or early twenties…)
I got the news again on “ insta”
(Internet…)
Daddy G (Massive Attack)’s insta…
I wonder how old Gran is…
(Or RSD Rob Smith, I read they were in a same band…in 80s? and Rob san was telling me that they went to splatter movie together…(eating mashroom! Shroom! West Country…)
Same era as Mark was playing in Bristol?… Mark and Rob san is about same age … 1960(Mark) or 1959(rob San)…I guess Gran is older than them?
I heard (only once) Rob san’s guitar (he is a guitarist in a different band called “Dub from Atlantis” (ahh.. that venue is gone … can’t remember the name but I did “poetry reading (poetry Monday!)”…Storks Croft… ah! “CROFT”, isn’t it?!?!
I don’t know much about punk era of Bristol ( I was living in 2002-2004)
…and I remember his comment on insta( “get well soon” was it by him?!)
