The other day, I went camping in Minami Izu. The wind was pleasant and the night sky was clear with stars. I am grateful for the blessed climate. Hotels and inns with meals and hot springs are nice, but there was something irreplaceable about the sounds of birds chirping, insects, and the pale pre-dawn sky visible through the mesh windows.
In Shimoda, I met Mr. Shoin. He said he wanted to see the world, so he boldly approached Perry's fleet in a small boat and negotiated boarding.
Although his dream did not come true, he later opened a cram school and trained important people.
It teaches us that there is more value in leaving something behind and passing it on to the next generation than in what we have accomplished. Unwind will also take action to pass on the baton with the next generation in mind. Thanks.
