6月30日(rokugatsu sanjyu nichi): June 30

I moved from Osaka to Kyushu (九州).
The weather was not so good, and we had a thunderstorm in the afternoon.

I went to many places such as Dazaifu Tenmangu (太宰府天満宮), Kyushu National Museum, and Yoshinogari Historical Park. There I made a comma-shaped bead called magatama (勾玉) from a rectangular stone. It took about one hour to make it. First draw the line on the stone, then scrub against the block and sharpen. Then dipped into water and polished with sandpaper. Lastly thread the cord into the hole.
It was very cheap, but it is the only necklace in the world. So I like it very much.
