When A Scorpio Male Ignores A Female

faithful dog Hachiko - Hachiko el perro leal (chuken hachiko)


Flapy
tells the story of Hachiko , which I already knew but did not remember.
As it is a beautiful story with much to teach, I wanted to do a post with the subject.

Hachiko dog race 秋田 犬 (Akita Inu, Akita dog). Born in 1923 in Odate, Akita Prefecture (hence the name of the race) in northern Japan. Hachiko was an Akita male, white snow.

At 2 months old, was taken to Tokyo, where he lived his new master. Eisaburo
Ueno, a professor in the Department of Agriculture, University of Tokyo, resided near the Shibuya train station.

Hachiko Eisaburo-sensei and formed a bond so strong that every morning, went out together HASCI Waiver Shibuya train station, Hachiko would stay in the park and Eisaburo-sensei traveled to the University. In the afternoon, Hachiko returned to the station to find him.

For nearly two years continued with the habit, until May 21, 1925, Eisaburo-san did not return. I had suffered a heart attack at the university and had died. No possibility of knowing, Hachilko, I hope every day as compared to Shibuya station.

days passed and the news came to the pedestrians they used to see Eisaburo Hachiko-san at the station. As the history of the master and his loyal dog was known to all, were concerned about the fate of such a beautiful animal and tried to persuade him to continue to wait. Hachiko did not understand and I hope, still waiting.

The other morning returned, and the next too, no matter the weather, temperature, time or day, Hachiko returned every day to find his master.

This story was so touching to the locals in April 1934 hired Teru Ando, \u200b\u200ba famous Japanese sculptor, to make a bronze statue of Hachiko, which put in place that used to occupy in the square, while waiting for his master.

The March 7, 1935, due to age and a filariasis, Hachiko died. In the same where I am every day for the last ten years while waiting for his beloved master.

During WWII, all the statues were removed and melted down for weapons manufacture. Even so, the people of Shibuya Hachiko continued to remind and formed a group to retrieve the statue, Ando Teru had died but located his son, Ando Takeshi, also a sculptor who returned to lift the statue of Hachiko.

Today, the statue still stands and on the 8th of April of each year commemorates the square Hachiko of Shibuya station. Hachiko Chuken

rests beside his master, Eisaburo-sensei, in the Aoyama Cemetery, Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful story. As real as love and loyalty of Hachiko, who for nearly ten years and I reminded her master. Domo arigato

Radio Shack Turntable Stylus

Guinomi and Toshi Isao - Botella y copa (tokkuri oyobi guinomi )

past weekend, I took a tour of the "Barrio Chino". As we discuss in some other post in this area, you can get items Asians in general. Mostly I tend to go for ingredients Japanese food for my , supplies for my classes shodo , and some other trinket. I usually fascinated with dozens of items that do not buy wisely, but this day especially, this game for my sake call much attention.

The complete set consists of a 徳 利 (tokkuri, bottle) that I think is styled 鹤 首 (tsuru-kubi, neck crane) and six ぐいのみ (guinomi, glass of alcoholic drink) style 筒形 (tsutsu-cat tube-shaped). The thing that caught my attention was that women had a beautiful engraved and colored. After discussing the price with the owner of the premises (nasty habit bargaining, but Chinatown works well) I became the happy owner of a kit of sake, which premieres that night with a delicious 日本 酒 (nihonshu, lit. Japanese sake).


Domo arigato!

砂織 - Saori

In the previous article, I comment a girl named Saori , came to Sakura Tenshi Shinbun by nora (thank you), attracted just because my daughter has the same name. And here

is the story of how I become Saori Saori.

On December 5, 2004 my daughter was born, Saori. The day after his birth, I gave the papers to go to the registry office to record it (like any new born). RC's office offered me a PC from which you could see the names "available", among the thousands of names, I found Saori, after speaking with several people told me I could not put it on, imagine my disappointment, after months of call, I could not do it "legally." Saori
To me it was, and I could settle for another name, so, like a good stubborn I am, I asked to speak with an authority and another and another and another, until finally I said they definitely I could not put that name, to seek any other. Imagine my anger when I showed them that the list had names like " satyr" and a failure Names Act could not put my daughter Saori.

After so many negative, a secretary who heard the discussion (and I was spinning for several hours by the civil registry), approached me and told me there was a possibility, but that was kind of complicated.

the advice of this kind person, were addressed to me at the Embassy of Japan, I presented what happened and ask them if they could do something. I sent the Japanese Consulate and there I attended the representatives of the consul. After explaining the matter, I said would analyze it. All of this had already been more than 15 days and Saori continue without ID.

Imagine my surprise when after 4 days of the last reunion, they told me happened to pick up some papers, upon arrival, I was handed the document to show below.



After countless ways to thank you, I went with my leaf signed by Shigeru Iida, the Japanese consul in Argentina, civil registration and finally I could write it down. Not without some amusement to see the faces of the same people who almost a month after I was advised to choose another name.

This brief history might be called as Saori Saori (Argentina in the first bear that name) and the previous for any parent who want to call your son as you like.

Many thanks to the civil registrar, the kind people at the Embassy of Japan in Argentina and the Japanese Consulate in Argentina and the Consul in person for taking the time to serve and assist. Domo arigatou gozaimasu
