Levis Strauss died

I have always wondered whether he was still alive or not. He was, but not any more. The great man of the 20th century is now gone.

9 months old

My son has become 9 months old!

He likes to eats grown-ups' food. Today he had vinegared rice from my sushi. He likes sweets, too.

He likes playing the piano, and playing outside. He eats everything including falling leaves.

Knitted shoes

A friend of mine knitted a pair of shoes for my son. So sweet!
She is also married to a Tunisian man.

My autumn days

Perhaps autumn is the best season in Japan (spring is also nice).
I take a walk with my son almost everyday,
sometimes have something to eat outside

(my son tries to take everything I eat),
or buy things for my son (yesterday a pair of leg warmer and a red little harmonica).

Autumn sky

Perhaps the sky is the most beautiful in autumn in Japan.

Daytime.

And dusk...

First halal canteen at Kyoto Univerisity

Supervised by the Islam Culture Center in Kyoto, a halal canteen was opened at Kyoto University yesterday, perhaps the first attempt at Japanese university. It is only a part of the already-existing canteen, but is welcomed by 500 Muslim students and staff at the university. (photo here).
