Chinese characters and my name

The Japanese Chinese characters (kanji) came to Japan from China. These are different from the letters in the English alphabet, each one has many meanings, called ideograms. Chinese characters got to the present style by the evolution of hieroglyphs and are similar to Egyptian civilization disappeared, hieroglyphs remainded there and have spread to China and Japan. After adopting the kanji system, the writing system in the Japanese language became a combination of ideograms (kanji) and syllabograms

( hiragana and katakana).

I googled the possible connections between the Japanese Emperor family and the ancient Egypt. I couldn't find it, but I think it may be possible. We know that Egyptian hieroglyphs were used to communicate with God and the Japanese Emperor have imperial regalia that was given by God, in addition of being the oldest royal family in the world. 

In Japan, people did not have family names until the Meiji period. In that era, people started to use nature, the placethey lived in, their occupations, and so on as family names. I didn't know my ancestors that lived in thoses times, but maybe they lived in the woods or nearby and used that name as my family name.

Japanese kanji (Chinese characters) originated in China and were introduced to Japan. Unlike the letters in the English alphabet, each kanji represents multiple meanings and is considered an ideogram. Kanji evolved from ancient hieroglyphs, which were used for communication in early civilizations. While the Egyptian civilization eventually disappeared, its hieroglyphs influenced written systems, which may have spread to regions like China and Japan. After adopting kanji, the Japanese writing system became a combination of ideograms (kanji) and syllabograms (hiragana and katakana).

I searched online for possible connections between the Japanese imperial family and ancient Egypt. While I couldn't find concrete evidence, I believe there might be a possibility. Egyptian hieroglyphs were used to communicate with gods, and the Japanese Emperor possesses imperial regalia said to have been bestowed by gods. Additionally, the Japanese imperial family is the oldest hereditary monarchy in the world.

In Japan, people did not have family names until the Meiji period. During that time, family names were created based on nature, the places people lived, their occupations, and other factors. I don’t know much about my ancestors from that era, but perhaps they lived in or near a forest, which might explain how my family name originated.

A nasty person

He has been hospitarised with a stroke and is in a wheelchair or stays in bed during the day. He needs help to go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet, so he gets help from the care workers. He is a sarcastic person and looks down on the other people. 

One day, while I was doing dental hygiene to a patient at a room with fore beds. He called for the care worker to go to the bathroom. Affter that, she asked him if he had finished so she could write that in the toilet record. He replied " No! because you brought me to the bathroom . You were a clogging shit woman." She smiled and left the room. I thought that , maybe she was used to his behavior. He made fun of them often, most of women, as if was a joke.

The other day, he called a care worker to help him move on the  bed,but nobody came immediatly. After a few minutes, a care worker came in the room and said " I am sorry I am late. I was changing dipers to another patients." He replied " You should lose weight. If you did that, you would come here faster." 

He has never talked to me like that, and I don't want to hear those nasty remarks. He makes me sick every time I am in the same room.

He has been hospitalized due to a stroke and spends most of his time in a wheelchair or lying in bed. He requires assistance to go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet, so the care workers help him with these tasks. He is a sarcastic person and often looks down on others.

One day, while I was providing dental hygiene care to a patient in a room with four beds, he called for a care worker to help him go to the bathroom. Afterward, the care worker asked him if he had finished so she could record it in the toilet log. He replied, "No! Because you’re the one who brought me to the bathroom. You’re just a clogging, shitty woman." She smiled and left the room. I thought she might be used to his behavior. He often made fun of the care workers, especially the women, as if it were a joke.

Another day, he called a care worker to help him reposition on the bed, but nobody came immediately. After a few minutes, a care worker entered the room and said, "I’m sorry I’m late. I was changing diapers for another patient." He responded, "You should lose weight. If you did, you’d get here faster."

He has never spoken to me like that, and I hope I never have to hear such nasty remarks. He makes me uncomfortable every time I’m in the same room as him.

A secret place for peace and calm

I watched the movie " Draive my car " during my long holidays. I didn' t like it very much but it set in Hirishima and I love that city. The main character asked his driver a girl, to go anywhere in Hiroshima  and she takes him to the Naka Incinerathion Plant, near th Seto island sea. The building was a beautiful glass like museum. She explained that it was built following a straight line all the way down to the Peace Memorial Park, a line between the A-bomb Dome and the Cenotaph called the " axis of the peace". The architect who desighed the facility created the atrium , so that the line would continue to the sea without being severed.

About 30 years ago I went to Hiroshima for an annual  meeting of dental hygienists. My freind who lives there showed me around. She told me there ware many victims when they did house evacuations. The tall houses were taken down because they were easy targets for bombs, and wooden ones were flamble. While she was looking the river, she  said that so many people dived into it at once that the water boiled. 

Before I went to Hiroshima, I was afraid to stay at the hotel near the river because I heard that rumor. Nversless, there are many rivers in the city , so when I arrived at Hiroshima, I felt diffrent sbout it. Altough I am not very sensitive to spiritual things. I felt that the air was very peaceful in Hiroshima as if the vicims of the A-bomb were looking at me from the sky " Welcome". 

The next day I went to the hypocenter, a little stone monument and when I look up to the sky, there was no sighs of the Enola Gay. I still pray for those who were killed by th atmic bomb.

I watched the movie Drive My Car during my long holiday. I didn’t like it very much, but it was set in Hiroshima, a city I love. The main character asked his driver, a young woman, to take him anywhere in Hiroshima, and she brought him to the Naka Incineration Plant near the Seto Inland Sea. The building looked like a beautiful glass museum. She explained that it was designed along a straight line extending all the way to the Peace Memorial Park—a line connecting the A-Bomb Dome and the Cenotaph, known as the "Axis of Peace." The architect who designed the facility created an atrium so that this line could continue uninterrupted to the sea.

About 30 years ago, I visited Hiroshima for an annual meeting of dental hygienists. A friend of mine who lives there showed me around. She told me that during house evacuations at the time, many people became victims. Tall houses were torn down because they were easy targets for bombs, and wooden ones were flammable. As she looked at the river, she shared that so many people jumped into it at once that the water boiled.

Before visiting Hiroshima, I was hesitant to stay at a hotel near the river because of the rumors I had heard. Nevertheless, the city has many rivers, and when I arrived, my feelings changed. Although I am not very sensitive to spiritual matters, I felt a peaceful atmosphere in Hiroshima, as if the spirits of the A-bomb victims were watching over me from the sky, saying, "Welcome."

The next day, I went to the hypocenter, marked by a small stone monument. When I looked up at the sky, there was no sign of the Enola Gay. To this day, I continue to pray for those who lost their lives to the atomic bomb.

画像はイッタラのボウルとプレート、実際は限定ブルーの夏色。

 

先週、仲良くさせてもらっている人のお家に招待された。彼女は、退職前の自動車保険の法人担当者、退職後も歳が近いので仲良くさせていただいて、私が手術を受けたせいでしばらく会ってなくて久しぶりだった。数時間楽しく話して彼女も私もお料理好きで帰りに珍しい調味料や食材などをお土産にもらった。ギフト、嬉しかった。

ギフトと言えば苦い思い出がある。前の職場のこと。その子とは違う部署でも同じ職種で20年近く一緒に働いていて彼女が結婚したと聞いた時、驚きもあり嬉しくもありで張り切って結婚祝いを探した。私はお料理が好きだけどひとに食べてもらう為に作るのでは無いから食器に凝ったことはなく、でも彼女はそうじゃ無いかもとペアのボウルとプレートのセットを選んだ。時間をかけ、店員さんと相談して楽しげな新婚家庭を想像しながらね。渡した時彼女は喜んでくれたと思った。

数日後彼女はお返しをくれた。包み紙はウエッジウッドのものだった。ブランドものにブランドもののお返しなんってすごいな、かえって悪いなと受け取ってうちに帰って包みを開けたらそうウエッジウッドの私が贈ったと同じ様な形のボウルとプレートのセットがひとつ。全く同じ様な物のセット。

贈り物は意味を持つ。私は楽しく食べてねと贈ったけれど彼女の返答は、あなたはひとりよ、この食器でひとりで食べてねだと思った。私は彼女が好きだったけれど相手はそうと思ってなかった。ギフトは難しいそして、全くもってコミニュケーションって難しい。

2013年、秋田犬のお礼に秋田県知事に贈られたシベリア猫、知事はロシア語で「平和」を意味するミール Мир と名付けた。あの人、秋田犬を可愛がっているだろうか。同じドッグラバーなのが嫌だ。犬好きの印象が悪くなった。どうしてくれよう。

オデッサの階段(正式にはポチョムキンの階段)がウクライナにあるのを初めて知った。

私が中高生くらいの時は、100年前ですけれども、平日の午後からとかよく昔の映画をやってて、「戦艦ポチョムキン」は何度も見た。エイゼンシュタインは「イワン雷帝」もよくかかってて、難しくて暗いなと、音楽が大きくて眠いなと、私のソ連のイメージ。

平和になったら行きたいな。

三大ガッカリと言われている黄昏の時計台

確定申告の医療費控除で戻ってくるお金をあてにして6月に行く京都に着て行こうと春物のブラウス買っちゃいましたが、医療費控除は払った税金に対する還付なのでそんなに貰えないよと教えてもらいました。ガッカリ。

このところサイズ36でも大きく感じるし、小さいサイズがあまり無いので店員さんに「最近の服って大きくありませんか?フリーサイズの服も増えたし」って言ったら「オーバーサイズが流行っているので…」とのこと。そっかウスウスは感じてたけどね。今日の体重43キロ、体脂肪16%、痩せすぎですね。

人権のことですが、無いと言っていた人、あるんですよ。それと人に「自殺しろ、したら見に行くから」って凄いね。


人権を無視すること、身近にもありました。

私は数年前から病室をまわって口腔ケアをするという仕事をしているんだけど、先日四人部屋でひとりの患者さんのケアをしてた時、向かいの患者さんの診療に医師と看護師が入って来た。カーテンをシャッと閉め診察しながら話を始めた。

Dr「あのババァ嫌いだ」

Nrs「みんな嫌いだよ」

Dr「あのガニ股で歩いてる奴誰?」

Nrs「今度課長ナースになるかもしれない人」

ふたりの会話はつづく…

私は透明人間じゃ無いし、他の患者さんはパーキンソン病で寝たきり意思疎通が困難とは言え聞こえていますよ。私は医師と働いたことがなかったのでこんな人もいるんだと、どこでそんな人間になったの?って言ったら人権の侵害かな。
