9月10日(kugatsu toka): September 10



It was very hot like summer today.
There is an annual festival of the local shrine today and tomorrow.
This morning I went to the Assembly Hall of the town to prepare for the party. When there came the portable shrine (神輿:mikoshi, see the picture) there, there was a surprise.
A member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Shinjiro Koizumi(小泉進次郎), appeared there suddenly too. His father is Ex-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi (小泉純一郎) who served as Prime Minister from April 26, 2001 to September 26, 2006 which is the third longest since the World War II. His older brother is Kotaro Koizumi(小泉孝太郎) who is an actor.
He listened to people's voice and took pictures with them. I asked him to take a picture too. I have seen him several times during the election campaign but this was the first time for me to talk with him. He is a coming young politician. In a quarter of a century he may become a Prime Minister.
