Luminescent deer.

It's so beautiful place.
There are a number of different shades of green.



!
There is something there.



Kind of deer?
Luminescent deer?



It has gone out...
Mysteriously...

Believe you can.

Have a passion in your right eye,
hold composure in your left eye,
and have ice-clod fire in your mind.

A monster which you don't need to be afraid of.

Watch out!!!!



Inai inai.....



Baa!!!
(Peekaboo!)



FYI:  "Inai inai baa" is what Japanese people say  for "Peekaboo".

That's because I was looking at a camera.

Today, it's a nice night.
We are going to battle against a Monster behind me, Atlas.



Let's get started!



All right, come on!



I got a kick on the back suddenly.
The direction where I looked at was wrong.
I should have looked at the monster, not a camera.
But my friends will beat it without me.

In my neighborhood.

Charge!



There is nothing to fear.



This is just a figure and a friend monster in my neighborhood.

The moon is beautiful, isn't it?

Hi.

Hello.



The moon is so beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah, the moon is always beautiful.



Do you know Natume Souseki who was a famous writer in Japan.
He translated " I love you" into "The moon is beautiful, isn't it."

Oh, I see.
So that means that you love me, right?



No such thing.
Sorry.
I just thought the moon was very beautiful.



I'll see you then.

Ask the wind.

I'm going to ride even though it's snowy outside.



Don't ask where I'm going to.



Ask the wind.



Brrrrr.....



Brrr.....



!



.....



Umm....



Okay.



I should battle  with a monster once in a while.

I recommend that you try this.

What a comfortable cushion!
You can also use the slime like this.



Highly recommended!

All for ...

It's not like I'm only doing Zazen.



Sometimes I battle against many monsters.



Sometimes I dare to call another monster.



So I knock it down.



I call another one again and defeat it.



All for becoming courageous and stronger.

A substitutable monster.

Is that a Kagami-mochi(rice-cake)?

Absolutely , No.



But  you can use it as the Kagami-mochi for the new year, can't you?
The only  thing you do is that you put an orange on his head.

That's a nice idea.



FYI: Kagamimochi is a traditional Japanese decorations to celebrate new year.

Action !

Eeeek!



I'm scared...

Don't worry.
I'll protect you.



(film director)
Cut!
Take a break!




Anyway, no one is afraid of the monster, I think.
He is so cute.

Yes, I think so too.

Where is a Trump genie?

Well, let's take up arms!
This is a Tarot genie!
Dispose of the monster!



By the way....
Where is a Trump genie?



It isn't in here.
If it exists at all, you don't call it "Trump genie".
"Trump"for card game is Japanese-English word.
It's called "playing cards" in English.

Anyway, Let's beat "Tarot genie"!

Oh, yes!
