Eldest son 2-years-7-months-old. Encountering Fireworks for the first time in his life. Being tense with a serious look.

　Summer is in the height! It is the middle of Obon (the Buddhist All Souls’ Day) holidays, and how are you all getting along?

　 During Obon holidays, it is a chance to return home, travel, and try various things that you cannot normally do. In our home, we are focusing on having our children actually “Experience” traditional features of summer.

　The “Experience” does not have to be something as large-scale as camping. Speaking of summer…, it is important to feel just a slight sense of the season, such as playing with fireworks, actually seeing the red fruit appear when cutting the whole round watermelon, or watching a festival. Then, both children and adults can realize that the “Now” is no longer just a moment in a continuum, but that their own “Now” is wrapped in reality. In short, Life could be felt more exciting!

　Please try to experience the “Now” of summer during this Obon holiday.
