Japan was hit by a June typhoon, unusual in recent years.
But here in Oita, we had a clear blue sky that reminds me of a real summer.

June, 20th（typhoon no.7）
The rice paddies lie calm after the plantation.

The surface of the rice paddies reflect the beautiful scenery of houses and woods.
A big roof, center, is the temple where I visit to toll the bell on
New Year's Eve every year.
My house is located beyond the left side bamboo thicket.

In spring, I can see bamboo shoots growing through the dining room window.
Yes, we occasionally take and cook them.
