In memory of my dearest Chibi-chan.
Photo at the top:
Along the Nakagawa River where we used to walk.
We lived in a flat in Kameari, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo
for about 2 years. It was difficult to find a flat where
pets were allowed those days. We finally started living
there together in February, 1990.
Other photos taken at my flat in Yokohama,
early 1992. Chibi-chan lived here for the rest
of his life, with me and other furry friends
looking for new home. He was so gentle to
other dogs and cats.
I have come to know a brilliant violinist from
Germany recently, and thanks to him I could
make another slideshow in memory of my Chibi-chan.
(The slideshow below is unlisted on YouTube.
It is slightly different from the one made public.)
On August 9 every year I mourn for my Chibi-chan.
And on the same day, a large number of people mourn
for their loved ones who died when an atomic bomb
was dropped in Nagasaki in 1945. They have been
mourning for the last 66 years. I, only for the last 8 years ...
After I lost my Chibi-chan, I think I have come to feel
the suffering of others more.
I wish I could have him right here, right now.
