Hiroko’s Diary

I don’t know why but sometimes the blog I’d just finished writing didn’t come up to the website.   It’s really disappointing and since it takes me considerable time using brain to full extent to write one article,  it’s quite hard to try writing the same context again.  

Anyway, I went to see a “Batou-kin” concert the other day.   “Batou-kin” looks like a Japanese “Shamisen”, which has three stringes , but it has two stringes.   It was held at an elementary shool near my house.   Two Mongolian players and one Japanese cordinator came to the school.   The tone and the players’ technique were exquisite.   Before the concert began, the cordinator used pc to explain about Mongolia from the point of historical and geografical view.   Compared to Japan, It is not comfortable environment climatically in Mongolia.   But the sky was very beautiful and the blue was much deeper.   And A limitless plateau on the screen gave me  peace of a heart. 

  From the 1st grade to the 6the grade, about 300 students  and several members of PTA gathered at a gymnasium.    There were about 8 musics.   One of them, there was a song about yearning for a hometown.   Historically, people in Mongolia and Kazakhstan have experienced being pursued their mother countries therefore, they have strong feeling toward their own countries.   I couldn’t stop crying listening the music.   While I was listening their musics, I looked back on my past for 30 something years.   At that moment, I was so happy being healthy and being able to listen such a wonderful music, but at the same time, I was a little bit afraid thinking that this happiness wouldn’t continue so long.   And also,  I felt bad because while my husband doesn’t have time to do what he wants to do and he is always tired,  only myself could have time.   So, I prayed God for my husband and my children to be healthy.

We had lunch together with two players and the cordinator after the concert.   I was so happy talking with them.   I got a strong message to live and raise my children.   I have to go now.  I’ll write a continuance in next blog.
