はい、注目してください。　　Let me get your attention up here.

Let me get your attention up here on the board. Have you ever controled your time? You'd say "It's impossible." But...yes, you can! with this clock. Even when you oversleep, you don't have to worry about the time anymore. You can just change the face as the time you wish to be on the blackboard with chalk. Just the thing is ...the time is not for everyone, but only for you though...

★I found this clock at Conran shop in Marubiru.17850yen.

感動する　　be impressed　

I’m （just one year old） back from Hong Kong. That was the first time to go to abroad. I was impressed! Traveling in a foreign country was not an easy thing for a baby like me, but it was fun! I rode on the ship to go to Macao. I had some Chinese foods that were so yummy but a bit oily for me. It was very hot and humid but I enjoyed the trip anyways.

背伸びをする stretch up

On the way to Great Grandma & Grandpa’s house in the Tohoku area, I found trees with white flowers. Those were apple trees. I was brought up in Kanto area and haven’t seen apple trees. The shape of the tree is unique as if the branches stretch up as each one likes.

～へのこだわり　　commitment to～

I visited Hiroo Yamagata’s, a translator and writer (and also works for Nomura reserch institute), apartment for a home party. Kyudogakusha is the oldest reinforced concrete apartment building in Japan, which was built in the Taisho era as a dormitory. This renovated corporative housing has both a nostalgic atmosphere and the newest facilities. Hiroo has good taste and commitment not only to his translation and writings but also to his life style.

～で楽しむ　amuse with～

I meet these two dogs with an old man sometime on the same street. Today, I dared to ask to take their pictures. The old man seemed to be getting used to it. He just stood behind me and kept these dogs amused with a rattle. Well, I wanted to take a picture with you though…They are always strolling around the city very happily.

真っ二つ　split of～

This is the sky one day. The picture is naturally taken and I didn’t do CG work or anything at all. See? The sky is split into cloudy and clear blue very sharply.
Wow, it really happened!　It must be clear over there!

Ume-ban is a book combining a Japanese dictionary “Shinmeikai kokugo jiten” and a photo book. The photos were taken by Kayo Ume who has received Kimura-Ihei Awards. Ume’s pictures depict (not explain) the emotion of the word. This is one of the great fusions of words and pictures. I’ve never seen this kind of funny, unique and cute book.

★The dictionary ”Shin meikai kokugo jiten"explains, for example “koi (love)” is…

【恋　koi】( not really equal to Love, but close emotion to Love, I think.)
①To develop your deep tender love feelings for a certain person (of the other sex)＊. When you can feel the person close to you, you are fulfilled and satisfied and get an emotional uplift as if you can dedicate everything you have to the love. On the other hand, you are threatened with breaking up with the person and always feel unrest and irritation. [Falling in love / Love is blind. / You can’t tell the feeling of love./ Senior’s love.](This is my translation.)

＊"Koi" is a feeling you feel not only to the other sex, I guess…so I just use ( ) to express my question.
