Leaves, the symbol of life. In my opinion.

Once, I read a book about near-death experiences.
People who say, experienced a sort of that state often raise something about flower or surrounded by flowers in their account.
But no mention seems to have been made on leaves.

Perhaps, leaves are, in human brain or in a mysterious system, something transcendent, that is associated to “our dimension”, a kind of space where life form is merged with super-natural spirit, fighting against entropy that is an anti-functional for life.

Therefore, when the spirit is leaving the space and returning to there (unknown), flower comes, which is symbol of the next????

Oh my god, I should not say such an overstated thing.

Whatever, here the pictures of leaves.

So, being fit into picture frame they start telling us something about life.
In my case, it always comes to my mind that photosynthesis is on-going. Producing the energy there.
When leaves reduce to dead leaves, they turn red or blown. But then by some micro-organism they are resurrected as building-block for the next green leaves. (No! not resurrect, as the next one is new. but it has the same effect on human consciousness, the effect itself resurrects——–?)
Also, it leaves an image of life in human consciousness. Again overstated!

I think they are as beautiful as flowers. Especially, the geometry.

Diversity of leaves!

Struggling against restraint! Like us all!

Then, if you like, please listen to music.

A state in which a middle-aged man is stating those phrases toward leaves might leave ones feeling quite spooky then I have stopped stating that.
Anyway, I am not native of English then those phrases might not sound for natives as words for lovers.

Is this called leaves?

Geometry. Incredible!

Wisteria Flower

After the period of cherry blossom, there come the season of wisteria flower.
This year, it’s already past. The picture above was taken weeks ago.

Why flowers do not bloom at the same time when a best climatic condition is shared? I mean, why cherry and wisteria do not bloom in the same period?

I guess;
> Hunny bees cannot process all of them! Maybeeeeeeee????
> Because of the difference in their biochemical system and its relationship with climate?!?
> It’s up to flowers.
> Long time ago, two scientists landed on the earth from another soler system created those flowers so that in a future when intelligence emerged on the earth, those can further stimulate the intelligence.
> Or simply, Gods can understand the reason.

One of the mysteries of plant would be the reason for flower.
Of course, some modern scientists would say.
“It’s because of selfish DNA”.

Below is another flower.


I don’t know the name, but I was somehow impressed at its blight deep purple.
Yes, now typing that word “Deep Purple” reminds me of “Smoke On The Water”.
By the way, to bear in mind is that the energy for blooming comes from the sun.

There also be another purple.
Don’t forget about the green in the background. That’s the basis of them.

Material is formulated into something that stimulates consciousness.
What? is formulated? by what!? Is it a kind of feedback?
Yes! (Who said that!) Any feedback needs its initial condition provided that the theory established by human currently is perfect.
So, in case of flower and human consciousness how the initial condition would have been? Maybe some sorts of incompleteness persist in the theory.


Whatever, anyway, flowers are seen by human as kind of beauty or something special.

Leaves under the moon. The moon peeking from the sky.

The moon peeking from blue sky.
The blue ray component is selectively scattered within the earth atmosphere.
So, the darkness of the space which really is surrounding the moon, is overlayed by that clear blue.

Yes, selectively, because of difference in refraction ratio of each wavelength.

Then, the leaves are ornamenting the sight.
Green, in this season, yes clear and flesh green. Within their thin space is the very chemical factory or say quantum reaction factory where starch is being synthesized with ingredients such as sun light, CO2, H2O.

Emerald green! The beauty, but it’s alive, photo synthesis! That’s a still mystery of its mechanism for scientists. Oh, God! Human clumsily have recently invented a miserable machine – methanation. Sorry……


Flower is said to have evolved from leaf. Probably, this one tells us that evolution process.

Geometrical yet random! Like freedom of spirits yet allowing scientific view.

One on the ground, the other is in the dense thicket.
For both, the sun light is surely of their equity, then are under inclusion in this nature of Japanese local area.
Equity; that is something not forced to be shared by others but attained by itself under an environment of inclusion, —– my personal interpretation though.
So, if something is attempting to deprive someone of the environment intending to prevent the person from attaining equity, we have to fight against such situation, nevertheless I do not have enough courage to uprise.
Instead, I am writing my opinion on my blog.
Nature opted for DEI, scientifically speaking.

Sorry, let me back to pictures of leaves.

The last one is not so impressive though, even on a few kinds of leaves can we see how the nature has long been in DEI.

Oops! Sorry, the moon is maybe complaining about my focus on leaves, saying that space is full of diversities the pattern of planets and their moons!

A Japanese Old Castle surrounded by cherry blossom

I can’t explain in details of its history although I am Japanese.
That’s because I would have napped during history class.

Now getting older, regretful past of my lazy educational record took me there the famous castle, Himeji-castle.

It was quite a fine day. Kamisama (Japanese ancient God) might have given it to me for I myself are raising awareness of respecting the history of own country.

Anyway, I will never forget how sleepy that history classes were.
(Oh sorry Kamisama)

As one of many pretending amateur scientists, let me say that the technology applied for building such an incredible castle in the era of Samurai warrier with certain logic yet without any modern science, is beautiful.

As a World Cultural Heritage, so many foreign tourists are visiting there.
The Himeji City, where the castle locates, is also a good place.
So, if you have a plan to go to Japan, Himeji Castle should be one of the options.

The last picture is flower that I found there in the garden in the castle.

The color comes from soil. Responding to the Sun?

Several months ago, it was perhaps, I wrote something about it.
The above eye catch picture is of flower I have recently found.
Whenever I see that beautiful color regardless of on pictures or real ones in wilderness, a question always comes to my mind. How is that color created from brown soil? Anyway, it is obvious that the color is the result of chemical reaction among soil, the plant, sun light, air, water and so on.

Then, we see it beautiful.

Beautiful?

What is “Beautiful”?

How are human sharing that feeling with all the people. Imagine!

Hej! At IKEA in Japan

So, this time, the story here is not on science or the sort.

I just visited there, IKEA in Japan.

It was more than 20 years ago when I made business trip to Denmark.
There I had lunch, which then has just come up on my mind now.
At IKEA, yes, its origin is Sweden and there found is buffet stile food court.
Most of the menu are Swedish which somehow resembles to the food in Denmark, in my memory.

On that day, a week earlier, I visited IKEA with my wife because I was able to take a few days holiday on weekdays because I was to be transferred to one of factories run by a company by which I have long been employed. Since the factory is located in a remote area from my home, I have to be there leaving family members.

So, my wife said, “OK, while you are up here, please help me with bringing some used furniture in IKEA. IKEA would buy them.”
“May be, IKEA on weekday is somewhat comfortable for window shopping because not overwhelming and exodus-scale of furniture seekers are expected.”
(IKEA on weekend! it’s like Lemmings!)

Then, we had lunch there.

Having seen my choice of food, my wife said,
“How big your meal is! Why you take such an amount. Are you intending to build an accumulation of fat around your belly as kind of survival resource for you are in remote area?”
I answered, “No problem.”

While eating that big meal, weak and slight memory of dating my wife before I married her came on my mind. (After the marriage, typical and global standard reality of wife-husband quickly ruled over.)

That eye catch picture is the one taken where I was moved in presently. While working hard in the new place, I am now seeking another opportunity for my career so that I can return. Nevertheless, it is quite hard to seek career change in my age in Japan though.

It will not mean to be stopped even if two false giants said so. The war.

People are left behind.

Suffered, dead, hearted.

Because that solution is the one they have been forced to accept by the false giants.

It’s never of the will of people who have such ideal of “no more war”.

Then people who left behind, not only the people of the country but also all the other country who have long been suffered from fearfulness of potential of war, again would think of strengthen their military capability.

So cold war again.

How stupid humans are.

I remember that someone once said occidental people are sophisticated in not only science and technology but also philosophy and ethics.

Are we OK?

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; is it something inevitable?

I think so, because DNA which is said to have tendency of selfishness did not opt for something uniform.
Of course, cyanobacteria once established quite a uniform world. (Just in my understanding though) However, presently, cyanobacteria are not the majority. And diverse state of hundreds or thousands or billions of species exist on the Earth now. (In my personal opinion though.)
DNA did opt for Diversity. And Equity and Inclusion are nested in the very system of lifeform. They all can share somehow their life in a way, for instance, food chain.

Entropy is another element. Because of Entropy, everything will never be stay still forever and any uniformity will continuously propagate into diversity.
Opps! Does that sound opposite? Entropy, makes things uniform, isn’t it?
OK! but then consider what uniform is all about. uniform means complete order. Quite a static state and just a beginning. It does not necessary means “NOTHING”.
As long as, consciousness, mind or spirits, whatsoever exists, maybe, yes maybe, battle of diversity against entropy may continue???? (Oh, don’t put such a silly!)

Matters, Ones, something, whatever anyhow, that are attempting to give up the concept will be the modern parallel to the mass extinction of dinosaurs.

Around there another species, mammals, survived and therefore DNA.

Mammals at that time were not majority. Taking the position of majority does not necessary mean thriving or superior.

Oh, the first issue of my blog this year 2025 has started with such an exaggerated way of speaking that is usual in my case though. L.O.L.
Well, there are many people around the world who are studying this kind of thing in more detail and accuracy, and there are many books by them.

Happy new year!

There you see, planet Venus.

Madame Butterfly?

This could be of unconscious bias. But first I caught it in my sight, the words emerged and dominant in my mind.
Those pictures were taken when the summer this year had been in its final stage. Although I didn’t know whether it was male or female, the word madame came up in my mind.

It could be of male butterfly and in that case how it can be described?
Anyway, regardless of being male or female, it was beautiful and marvelous.

You see. That sky blue pattern, deep blue color on its back, being on black background.

Thinking of a little bit about something associated with science, how this kind of beautiful lifeform emerged is the very question I want to raise.
And why do we see it beautiful? Is there any relation with our survival?
Let’s see, ——- by following beautiful butterfly, chances likely that flowers that contain honey are found. —- uuuuuuu, that doesn’t work, surely!

Hunt for Monsters

This time, I am a monster hunter.

Below a monster-beauty visited my house. So beautiful. But it’s quite regretful of unable to present the semiconductor-precision of its built of body and wings (especially the wings, its transparent pattern and structural geometry) owing to my substandard smart phone photo.

The next is, a Black Mantis. Cool!

Here observed is a Dragon Fly.
So quickly, flying around was the Dragon Fly that I could only take that picture at quite a narrow chance of it taking an instant rest on branch thereby the focus is not on the target and rather on the background woods.
Anyway, you see its machine like built! Mechanic-Insect Monster!

Can you see it floating in water? Monster submarine casting its silhouette on the river bottom.

Oh! This is it! Another flying monster.
I’m wondering what or who created them. Selfish gene? Maybe not only that but also —-.

Yes, it’s a nectar seeking monster!

Finally, the real monster! Most of showa-Japanese boys like this very much! NOKOGIRI-KUWAGATA. It was moon-lit night when the monster intruded into my room where I was reading blogs on wordpress. It flown from woods nearby. So, I had to take and return it to the woods under the moon light and at the same time feeding a swarm of mosquitos with an amount of my blood for their next generation.
Oh, yes! Mosquitos. Another monster.
