Quodlibet

Hello everyone!

Mayumi Fukara's novel named "Quodlibet" is on the web!!!

クオドリベット　上巻

"Quodlibet" is the most popular novel among Fukara's works! This story is about human's instinct to controle someone.

Characters of my novels are very weak,but they become so strong when they find something tremendous, something beyond expression.
Because they are always irritated with daily lives,which is bankrupt of splendor.

"Quodlibet" is my treasure.

Mayumi Fukara's works are on the web!

Let me introduce to you our accsation

2011-03-27T21:02:00.004+09:00

Ladies and Gentlemen

Me, Mayumi Fukara is the member of "SNS-FreeJapan”SNS Free-Japan

Today, our administrator of "SNS-FreeJapan”Shinya Kotsubo proposes important accusation.

Please let me introduce to you his serious prosecution.

The Accusation of Deliberate Destruction of Fukushima Daiichi Plant Unit 1 Designed by General Electoric

I am Shinya Kotsubo from a conservative political organization administrator called "SNS-FreeJapan” (a conservative political social networking website http://sns-freejapan.jp/)".
We primarily focus on lobbying for administrative procedures, information disclosure requests, and petitions. Our activity is slightly less moderate than “The Boston Tea Party” in the U.S.
My occupation is the president of the company called "Counter Culture" that is governing SNS-FreeJapan.
I do hereby accuse the destruction of Fukushima Daiichi Plant Unit 1 based on the belief between my senior at high school graduate, Kunihiko Iwadare (the founder of NEC Corporation) and Thomas Edison (founder of GE).

The accident at Fukushima Daiichi Plant Unit 1, designed by General Electric, was caused by The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. There is a possibility that the Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, might have been the reason for the GE nuclear reactor to become damaged. Due to his ulterior motive to take advantage of this incident, to gain popularity, he tarnished GE's dignity. I would like to apologize for these issues.

"The Relationship Between GE and NEC"

Mr. Iwadare, NEC founder, graduated Toyozu High School (currently called IKUTOKUKAN Senior High School). After the graduation of the school, he moved to Tokyo and studied engineering at Tokyo Institute of Technology. From 1882 to 1886, he worked for Ministry of Engineering in Japan for 4 years. After that, Mr. Iwadare went to the U.S and he worked at Edison Machine Works (General Electric).

Mr. Idaware returned to Japan, hoping to participate in building the electronic industry in Japan. He joined Osaka Dento (Osaka Electric Lamp Company) as an electronic engineer in order to obtain an electric generator.
During time, Mr. Iwadare and Mr. Edison augued about the electrical current of the generator. Although Edison advocated direct current, Mr. Iwadare chose alternating current. Mr. Iwadare finally procured alternating current generator from Thomson Western which was conflicting with GE.

One assumption is that, the delay opening the vent to release the pressure by a certain time may be the primary reason for the explosion. The reason of the delay is as follows (quoting the document released by office of the Prime Minister on March 12, 8:50pm):
http://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/kikikanri/jisin/20110311miyagi..

[8:30am : Reactor 1, the opening of the vent to release the pressure was to begin around 9am.] The actual opening occurred, however, at 2pm, as the record states. [At 2pm, the valve of reactor 1 was opened due to its high well pressure.]

They started opening the vent at 2PM, which is 5 hours later than originally planned.

The result was the lowering of the pressure from 0.75mpa to 0.67mpa. The pressure decreased further to 0,54mpa at 3: 28pm.

But [At 3:36pm, another earthquake occurred and the enormous noise and smoke were realized to be at reactor 1].
[At 4:17pm, it was determined that article 15 of Nuclear Disaster Regulation had occurred because the radioactivity was over 500μSV/h.]

*-* Note: it states that the pressure buildup was BEFORE the earthquake.
.
The reason why the opening the vent was delayed

The crucial timeline of lifesaving efforts is said to be within 72 hours of the crisis, which was the uniformed opinion of all the political parties. The consensus was made not to dispatch a delegation to the area.

Japanese paper of ASAHI on 11th march 7PM 31min report.

The action of the Prime Minister contradicts with that consensus.
[On March 12, at 5:14am, the PM left the office on a helicopter from the roof of his office.]
[He was accompanied by his advisor Mr. Terada and the nuclear safety chairman Mr. Haruki Hanmoku.]
[At 7:11am, the helicopter arrived at Fukusima nuclear power plant (town owned by Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO) at Oukuma.]
[At 7:19am, The people were seated in one of the surviving buildings.]
[At 7:23am, Mr. Muto, the vice president of TEPCO, explained the situation, with Mr. Ikeda, the deputy minister of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry present.]
[At 8:04am, the PM left the site.]

Because of this unexpected visit by the PM, the opening of the vent was delayed..
TEPCO was not able to open the valve for 3 hours between 5am and 8am to provide a safe environment for the PM, even though Nuclear Safety Committee was aware that the opening should happen at 3am.
We request that the IAEA become involved with this particular investigation. Due to the careless behavior of Mr. Kan, the PM, the necessary action to minimize the disaster was delayed.

Why did Kan visited the plant? To mimic Carter magic?

When the Three Mile Island accident happened, then President, Jimmy Carter visited the site.
Events started to change for the better after his visit and the public called it “The Carter Magic”.
Things were turning for the better already due to the good work of the engineers when Carter visited.
Carter knew this and used it to his advantage, and this is was what people talked about later.

I think Naoto Kan had some knowledge of how nuclear plants work since he is a science major.
He must have calculated that, if his arrival and the opening of the vent happened close to each other, his visit was going to be the sign of changes for the better. Mr Kan could have written this scenario and inevitably, delayed the opening of the valve, which led to the explosion of the core.
It is probable that Kan may have wanted that “Carter Magic” for himself.

As a result, the idea of nuclear safety and reliability were damaged. This created a ripple effect than also damaged the credibility of GE, which is a great USA company.
To think that this destruction was created because of Kan’s short sighted attempt to gain popularity, is unforgivable and hereby ask IAEA to start the investigation.

.
I feel obligated to ask IAEA to conduct an investigation so that GE can regain its reputation. I believe I need to do this, like Mr. Iwadare once honored the trust of Edison.

Regza

2011-02-23T22:04:00.002+09:00

I get regza!

No one can live without love

2011-02-13T21:48:00.004+09:00

I once wrote love has no power.I believe form of love is powerful.

Form of love equalls act of love.

I saw many acts of love in the news reporting about Egyptians.

How many Egyptians acted bravely for cordial love for thier country, or for thier family!

I respect profondly Egyptian people never gave up thier efforts.

Show must go on

2011-01-30T22:16:00.005+09:00

Last year,I was shocked by the news of the death of a young Noh actor that I loved very much. His name was Yoshito Sekine. He died at the age of 50.

His death was so sudden. Heart attack.

His father, Shozo Sekine continued the stage next week, and his son ,Shomaru Sekine also continued the stage three days after his fathers funeral ceremony.

Is it an obligation?

Is it a duty?

I believe this is a karma of all the actors, singers, performers.

Probably this is also a karma I should bring together.

Locks and chains

2011-01-06T22:44:00.003+09:00

「Locks and chains」is title of the novel I wrote in June of 2010.

I have an obsession about this words."Locks and chains" suggests a criminal case or something vicious.Because a person who broke law is locked in prison by chains.

I have a passion about writing a thing vicious.Off course it is not easy to tell vice.

In 「Locks and chains」, I tried to tell a story of a woman intended dominating destiny.

Disapointment of this year

2010-12-26T22:00:00.002+09:00

I was disapointed with Dallas Cowboys's record of this year.Soooooooo sad!!!

I hoped they get the trophy of Super Bowl,but this ended in vain.They lost play-off games.

Why did they lose controle? I guess that the offensive line fell into disrupt, so Tony Romo didn't throw the ball perfectly.

And diffensive back was not so good as the year 2009.This is mysterious.

And so many fumbles!!!Terrible!!

I wish I were a Pittsburg Steelers's fan。・°°・(>_<)・°°・。But I believe
new coach Jason Garrett will make a new era of Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys are still alive!!

This year is remarkable year

2010-12-24T22:53:00.002+09:00

The year of 2010　has a lot of events for me. That is making a CD　with my friend Riko Suzuki（Composer）.

This is unforgettable story! How many difficult problems were there, but we could do our best and made a progress!

I am so happy to have a talented friend like her.

Also I had many sad accidents this year.It is difficult for me to write my feelings exactly.

Now I find that I must do everything to write a great work.It is my destiny.

I really love his tune

2010-12-20T22:44:00.002+09:00

I often listen John Coltrane when I wanna something to charge my energy.

Because his tune is full of fascination and miracle. I wanted to talk about Miles Davis
and Coltrane when I was young, but my friends did not know thier music.

This tune is like a flying butterfly!!!!

Memories of Kyoto

2010-10-27T10:28:00.003+09:00

Kyoto is a special city even for Japanese

2010-10-19T22:10:00.002+09:00

I will go on a trip to Kyoto this week-end.

I was eager to go to Kyoto for two years,but I couldn't do that.

Kyoto is an extremely religeous city!!! It contains so many shrines and temples!!!

Kyoto is a city of heroes and heroines. Since 8thcentury, eternal illusions surround this city.

Kyoto makes me imagine another world.

Why does kimono attract people?

2010-10-10T21:36:00.003+09:00

I believe kimono is a special costume. Because it changes a woman into a gorgeous and mysterious creature. Kimono is different from other national costume.

Why kimono has such a special power? I believe its secret is to wrapp woman's skin delicately.

Woman's skin(or body）is full of fascnation and lusciousness. Obviously,costume occidental helps its attraction.

Contrary, kimono hyde woman's body and skin. It is like a stoic wear.But it doesn't hyde woman's beaty and fascnation.

Kimono hydes woman's body imperfectly.You can see that a woman in kimono is moving.

See her wrist out of sleeves.Tremendous beaty existes.

Kimono makes a woman in motion into an irresistible creature.It is true.

When a woman wants to be beautiful

2010-10-02T20:50:00.004+09:00

At this time,I don't have an intention to become beautiful.I am a writer,not an actress!
But if I fall in love with someone, I believe that I'll make a hard effort to be good-looking woman.

First, I buy a shampoo expensive, next, I take care of my skin so delicately.These efforts are for a beloved one I say.
All I want is to be loved by sacred one.The world is for us.

Oh my dream is all dream !!! Sublime illusion.

I cannot love anybody but a virtual person.

I love autumn

2010-09-30T23:13:00.003+09:00

Autumn is my favorite season.

Spring is too painful for me, because I have been suffering by hay fever（花粉症）for several years in spring.

Cool air of autumn morning makes me happy!!!

Angel is by my side

2010-09-28T19:15:00.004+09:00

Anyway, I love facebook aplidation called Angel.

These pictuires makes me smile!

Long time

2010-09-27T22:58:00.004+09:00

I have been so long absence from this blog!!　Off course this is difficult for me to
write another language.
But I really know I should study English harder.

The most important news is I released CD　with my friend Miss Riko Suzuki.
Picture above is a jacket of this CD.

All musics are written by Riko Suzuki, and all lyricks are written by me.
You can listen several musics on this site!!!!

Riko Suziki　

Please select 「MFRS」! Here is the world of our imagination!

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Also important news is here.

I will go to Kyoto next month!!! I am sooooooooo happy!!

Here's the movie of Iruma Rioka's Mexico tour!

2010-08-09T11:17:00.003+09:00

Singer Iruma Rioka gave a tour all over Mexico last month.

She and Nemu(guitarist）gave a great performance.
Please enjoy it together!

Heaven

2010-07-19T17:12:00.006+09:00

Heaven is a child of one's imagination I think.

Heaven doesn't exist in this material world but it reviels anyhow anywhere anytime you want see it.

Let's imagine! If you don't be afraid of getting disillusioned!!!

I must study English so hard

2010-07-14T11:26:00.002+09:00

For me, to write English is hard work.But I think I must continue what I decided.

Even if I could write a very short paragraph, it is better than to write nothing.

By the way, I always pronounce English words I write during thinking English.It is not difficult to speak English by myself.

July 11 is also a concert day of a beautiful opera singer!

2010-06-30T20:09:00.002+09:00

I said that everybody should think about an election. But I understand everyone has a plan of leisure.

To tell a truth ,I also have a plan to go to the consert^^

My friend who is an opera singer will give a consert at Museum of Setagaya on this day.

Her name is Kayoko Matsuo.

This movie is the digest of the opera named 偽りの女庭師 on January 5th 6th 2009.

Kayoko will sing at 5minutes at the biginning of this movie.

Please see and enjoy it!

Election Day

2010-06-28T19:09:00.003+09:00

July 11　is the election day!

House of Councillors　The National Diet of Japan

I decided what party to choose.

We all have to consider "Manifesto" every parties explain.

Decision

2010-06-22T20:16:00.002+09:00

I always hope I can decide in every aspects of my life.

I suppose the decision is to choose one thing among various things.

In other words, taking one thing ,then abandon another.There is no time to lose!

If I am losing my way, I abandon my ability.

Man cannot seize too many things.Man can only choose one thing.

You too, you choose only one thing, when you wanna achieve something.

Can you believe that??

2010-06-17T21:27:00.003+09:00

I read the blog so interesting!!!!

But I wonder that is true.

Why some women have real reason to fear the World Cup?

This is not a comical matter.

But I wonder if English men are so childish enough to drink too much during the World Cup??

Men are not so simple anyway.

Do you feel about this study??

Artificial is a trap

2010-06-13T23:28:00.002+09:00

We are living in the material world today.

That is a bannal idea isn't that?

I often ask to myself "I hate the artificial things??"

The answar is no.

But we cannot live in a situation all is artificial.

I want to use artificial power to be able to feel the human power.

I love Ikebana

2010-06-11T21:56:00.006+09:00

I saw an exibition of Ikebana （Sogetsu　school）at Takachimaya.

It was fascinating!!!
It presented another aspect of Ikebana.

Construction time again

2010-06-09T19:42:00.002+09:00

For writing a novel,I usually think how to manipulate time when the character lives.

Time relates how to weave a story.

To weave a story,novel writer often begins to tell the final scene,for example, 古畑任三郎（It is very similar to Columbo ,inverted detective story）.

I hope to write an detective story someday,but now I dont have the idea of commission of the crime.

Probably, I must invent new idea of killing someone (laugh）.
But all I have to do is to describe perfectly the world I create and imagine.

Perfect is beyond difficult.

I have a lot of thing to learn

2010-06-04T12:06:00.003+09:00

Sometimes I'm irritated with my lack of English usage.

I am planning to write a novel in English.

I declare that my novels are more interesting than my blogs!

Someday I will present this fact.

I have finished my work

2010-06-01T19:14:00.005+09:00

I have finised ny work!!!!

Two novels by Mayumi Fukara will be sold on the internet.
（　Only in Japan, sorry）

Now I 'm writing

2010-05-27T09:44:00.005+09:00

I am thinking and writing and wondering into my brain.

Where is the miracle? It is not there.

I must create a miracle by myself.

Love is blind

2010-05-22T20:05:00.002+09:00

Love is blind. It is true.

So I don't fall in love with a man who walks on this glove.

All I want to do is to respect someone or something,not to love.

I only love an imagenary world that I create.

Jacques Derrida talks about love

2010-05-16T21:28:00.002+09:00

Oh how I read passionately Derrida's book!

Derrida says he has nothing to say about love.
It is natural.

Love is a theme of litterature,not philosophy!!!
Love is a conglomerate of different emotions, and philosphy dont like to explain about emotion of a person.

People are not able to be a novel writer same as a philosopher.
Jacques Derrida On Love and Being

Derrida was dead in 2003.

Decoration

2010-05-11T21:15:00.004+09:00

All the decoration is done for impressing someone by its beauty.

In other words, decoration must be elegance and suitable.

I believe decoration is a kind of communication.
This is why people form intimacy with someone in same fashon!!^^

Me?　I sometimes wear kimono, probably it is also a decoration.

I adore Manga and Japanese Anime

2010-05-09T21:49:00.003+09:00

When I was a child, I loved books and comics so much,so my mother bought me books frequently.
In 昭和　era, japanese children usually read comics as well as books, and they watched animation of Tezuka Osamu(1928-1989),Mitsuteru Yokoyama(1934-2004).

You probably know "Sazae-san"!!Off course I watched it!!!
It has been an model-role of Japanese familly.

By the way, I was very influenced by japanese manga漫画　and animeアニメーション.

The most famouse star is Osamu Tezuka, but I prefer Mitsuteru Yokoyama.
Yokoyama is the author of 鉄人２８号！！！

I also love Shotaro Ishinomori(1938-1998).He is the author
of サイボーグ００９.

Off course I was in love with girl's comics.

I quitted reading boy's comics at the age of 13 or 14, but I continued reading girl's comics until entering colledge.

I respect Moto Hagio(1949-)萩尾望都,Riyoko Ikeda(1947-)池田理代子,Ryoko Yamagishi(1947-)山岸凉子.

Manga and Anime are appropriate art for Japanese people ,I suppose.I wanna explain why I think so,but my ability in English is too poor to do it.

The additional thing is I wanna be a comic writer when I was a child!!!

★Photo above is books by Ryoko Yamagishi , named　日出処の天子.

I never lost controle.

2010-05-07T22:55:00.003+09:00

For my friend who is a guitarist.

I really love David Bowie,but I know very little about "Nirvana".
But this tune is as if David Bowie gave it to them.

Kurt Cobain's voice makes me unhappy.

But his voice is miraculous.

Passion is not enough

2010-05-03T21:00:00.002+09:00

Passion is not enough to be a woman of dignity.

The most important thing is a decision, I say.In other word, a determination to be intelligent.

Intelligence is the main theme for every woman.

Thinking ,imaginating, researching , these are the important to live a life.

Lady Macbeth

2010-05-02T13:50:00.006+09:00

I have been fascinating with Shakespear's works

My favorite is "Macbeth".Why do I love it? Because I adore Lady Macbeth so much.

I think Lady Macbeth is the symbol of human's instinct to controle someone.

It is clear she doesn't love her husband Macbeth.All she loves is a person who gives satisfaction to her.

Everybody has a instinct to controle others,dominate others.I cannot deny it.
Lady Macbeth faced her instinct, and she decided not to pretend her desire.

Desire to be a dominator.

Lady Macbeth makes us scared.But I have been fascinating with her.

Architecture

2010-04-28T11:03:00.003+09:00

I suppose architecture is a kind of shelter from terror of nature.

Or a signature of triumph against nature.

I am eager to say that all the architecture is an instinct of decoration.

By the way,I created two architects in my novels called　「天使と小悪魔」and　「僕がいなくてさびしくないの」,they are both men.

I suppose architect is a proffession suitable for men.Off course, I know there are many architects female, and I respect them.

But,the architecture is main subject for men, not for women.I wanna explain why I think so ,but it is very difficult to describe（sigh）.

Nature

2010-04-25T22:57:00.004+09:00

All the artists should respect nature.Because nature contains every kinds of beauty.

Elegance, maturity,purity,etc.

I often gazed twilight sky when I lived in house of higher floore.I loved sunset.It was gorgeous time for me.

Now I don't do that.I live in lower floor.So, I see the moon every night.

Sky, landscape, flowers, they are beyond expression.

We are in Nature.

Me, MayumiFukara,as a novelwriter,an artsit, and an entertainer

2010-04-24T21:01:00.004+09:00

In my opinion, a novel writer should be an entertainer as well as a scholar.
When I was in college ,I hoped to be a scholar of French philosophy.I believed getting a knowledge is the key to find myself.

Did I find myself? I can't say yes.

But I believe I chose the best way: Become a novel writer.

I really love to manipulate my knowledge and my thinking.I really want to entertain someone using the word and telling my story!!!

I am a kind of entertainer.Probably, all writers should give the tremendous thing to people.
The tremendous one called "Imagenary world".

Ritual

2010-04-24T18:09:00.003+09:00

The ritual is the mother of reign.

Like a lily

2010-04-19T00:01:00.003+09:00

I love lily.

Lily is like a Sirene.

2010-04-16T15:20:00.004+09:00

I proudly write a novel in Japanese languge.
But I have been feeling the importance of communicating with users of another languages. Because we,authors are envolved into progression of internet that is the kingdom of English speakers.

Someday, I will write a novel in English.Therefore, I hope that you love to read my novels in original languge,日本語.

Beauty of 日本語　came from nature of Japan,landscape of Japan, Shintoism of Japan.
It is very difficult to explain,so I will describe little by little in this blog.

These are blogs I found in three days

2010-04-15T17:55:00.002+09:00

First :Pimco warns of pressure on sterling and Bank of England

I think it is absolutely correct.

Was Heidi’s father German?

Swiss people are shocked?? Really?
I dont care about nationality of Heidi's father.Most people think so.

But I understand what they feel.Heidi is the luminous symbol of Switzerland.

Joe Stiglitz: An Agenda for Reforming Economic Theory

I was so surprised that I can comment on this blog in Japanese!!!!!!

Immaculate dream

2010-04-11T22:04:00.003+09:00

Everyone possesses an immaculate dream.

Everyone wants to go to somewhere far from present.

I am a person who wants passionately to be an immaculate one.

For me, who seach for ideal beuty,being immaculate is the aim of my life.Even if this seems impossible.

I cannot detract myself from this.

Twitter

2010-04-08T12:16:00.002+09:00

Ladies and Gentlemen!I have begun "Twitter"!!

Please follow MayumiFukara^^
https://twitter.com/

Sorry,it is a joke.To tell the truth, I don't do Twitter probably.
Because it isn't suitable for me.In other words, I dont wanna write my "murmur" on the internet.

I can say this blog is just a "Twitter" for me.My ablility in English is not enough to express my thinking tatally, so I always write a fragment of thought on this blog.

★Picture above is Tokyo Midtown at Roppongi.

Scream like a baby

2010-04-05T12:22:00.001+09:00

I wish I could scream like a baby, when I am in trouble.

Flowers

2010-04-04T19:38:00.006+09:00

I love cherry blossoms, but I also love all the flowers.

I want to be your mirror

2010-03-28T22:56:00.004+09:00

The charactors of my novels sometimes say"I am your mirror ".

You already know ,this is my dream.
I want to become something that reflects person's passion.

Passion is precious and important thing for people.Because it makes people beautiful.

Sometimes passion makes people crazy, I know.I will talk about it another time.

I studied psychology so hard, but I found it is not effective to creat a novel.

To creat a imagenary world, novel writer should transform into another person!!!

This is no joke^^.I transformed myself into many persons to make a novel.

Han-eri

2010-03-25T18:41:00.003+09:00

On picture above, I wear han-eri embroideried.

On pitcure below ,I wear han-eri white.

Welcome to the beautiful Japanese embroidery world!

2010-03-22T18:15:00.005+09:00

Today,I proudly introduce the biggest school of Japanese Embroidery named "Kurenai-kai" to you.
"Kurenai-kai" operates an atelier of emboidery, and schools at Tokyo, Nagoya,Osaka.
Also, they publishes books of beautiful embroidery.

Honnest to say, I have been friends with a vice-president of this school^^.She teaches embroidery in the class, and gives a presentation of the works made by "Atelier Kurenai-kai".
She talks the beauty of Japanese Embroidery not only in Japan ,but also in USA,and Europe.She is like a missionary.

The most of works made by "Kurenai-kai" are Kimonos and Obis.I always see tremendous Kimonos in Exibition!!!
But,there are also many interior goods ,and bags.

In spring ,Kurenai-kai presents big Exibition in Tokyo ,Nagoya, Osaka.Please check the website.

The 35th Japanese Embroidery Exhibition held by Kurenai-kai

You cannot imagine how grace these works are if you see them only on the internet!!!

I am looking forword to seeing these works at Ginza.

★Picture above is a book published by Kurenai-kai.

Spring makes me sad

2010-03-20T15:13:00.002+09:00

Spring is a beutiful season. But I feel blue and melancholick.

My heart aches.

I have lost my beloved star last spring.

I still remember ,I still miss ,but I should say that is a way of life.

Iruma Rioka goes to tour around Mexico!

2010-03-19T13:47:00.004+09:00

My favorite singer Iruma Rioka will go to tour all over Mexico!

Iruma Rioka Dreaming in the cage

She gave a concert tour in Russia ,Swiss, Mexico in 2009, and all the audience applauded her performance.

She writes and arranges all the songs she sings. Wow! I listen to her music when I want some inspiration for the story I create.

Here she comes.

Walking, thinking, running

2010-03-16T14:54:00.002+09:00

I am walking on the foggy road.Off course ,I use the rhetoric.

I wonder if I can write beatiful lyricks（sigh）, but this is the promise.

Thinking of the element of music.It will be a key to make a word.

Ceremony to calm myself

2010-03-15T11:45:00.003+09:00

I always think what to write in my next novel.Honest to say , the subject of my novels is the same. I wrote it in previous entry of this blog.
Dying for something

I am eager to express this theme　for using many ways, for example, manipulating the word,creating the imagenary city.

Creating the imagenary world is very hard work for me, so I need a ceremony to calm myself.
That is cleaning my room.

This is wonderful!!! This blog is also written after the cleanup.
I won't say "Trust me" because I am not a president Hatoyama.

Dying for something

2010-03-13T13:53:00.008+09:00

One of my friend says to me that characters of my novels don't hesitate in going into labyrinth of love which is called enthusiasm.
I can not recognize whether this idea is right or wrong,but I would prefer to say my characters really want a shelter from their problems.

Characters of my novels are very weak,but they become so strong when they find something tremendous, something beyond expression.
Because they are always irritated with daily lives,which is bankrupt of splendor.

Irritation and eagerness are the banner of my novels.

I believe all of you who reading this blog are dying for something beyond expression.
I really understand it.

★picture above is drawn by Keiko Kasahara, one of my friend.She is a very talented artist who creates many picture of animals. I love it.

Who is Michel Foucault ？

2010-03-10T22:25:00.004+09:00

When I was in college, I studied French culture and philosophy.I was eager to learn Michel Foucault's thought.Because he was a kind of philosophic hero in Japan.

Today, I am not so facsinated with his thought.Because his way of thinking is extremly
complex,and has no trust in human moral.

Now I think his thought itself is not effective against problems in this world.

But!!!!
Recently I found his film in Youtube. Michel Foucault is speaking!!!Wow!

How beautiful the words he is saying!!!
I am surprised with his talking.He talks very fast ,but his talking is perfect description. Description of how to philosophize human history.

If you understand French,you should watch it.
You will see the best manipulator of words and description of thought in this world.

I want to write this video 's contents,but the tranlation French into English is very very difficult for me.

Difficulties

2010-03-05T20:31:00.005+09:00

I am writing the lyricks for making a symphony( or concelto for some instruments).

My friend who is a composer and me were agree to make some music!
This is my first challnge! Wow.

But to create lyricks is quite different from weaving a story.

In lyrics, words are like the element of the nature.

In novels, words are like the stone of the building.

How do you feel?

I love Shostakovich

2010-03-04T22:21:00.003+09:00

I love many composers.The favorite one is Dmitry Shostakovich!

In Japan, he is very popular!!! Many people love his works!!

Does eternity exist?

2010-03-02T21:01:00.003+09:00

Splendor is the idea what I love to express in my works.

But too much decoration is not beautiful,nor exellent.

I think the principle correlate with the decoration.

I always imagine the most valuable thing for everyone is eternity.
Eternity equals timeless beauty,timeless value.

I suppose eternal beauty exist in simplicity.

Simplicity is so difficult to reach.I cannnot still get it.

Demonstration

2010-02-28T21:34:00.006+09:00

Someday,I will demonstrate that every art is based on construction.

2 pictures above are drawn and written by me.

I like drawing picture as well as arranging flowers.

Hina-matsuri

2010-02-27T14:31:00.003+09:00

On 3rd March,japanese women celebrate Hina-matsuri.

Hina means dolls^^ See the picture above.

This celebration began at the epoque of Heian-jidai(the 10th century）.

At the origine was to clean dirtiness of person's inside on a special day called
"上巳".
"上巳"　is about the beginning of March.

How did they clean their dirtiness?? They substitued dolls for themselves!

Ancient japanese flowed a doll into a river praying to be cleaned his body and soul.

Then, dolls were changing into sacred icons for japanese.

I also celebrate Hina-matsuri.

I send you a gift

2010-02-26T22:42:00.002+09:00

I really want to say "thank you" to all figure skaters in Vancouver Olympic game.

Death of a designer

2010-02-21T21:51:00.004+09:00

I found the news of tragic death of Alexander McQueen （1969-2010）on 19th february.
British fashion icon Alexander McQueen commits suicide days after death of his beloved mother

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1250249/Alexander-McQueen-commits-suicide.html#ixzz0gAuKofxl

Why I was late to know his death? Because in Japan he is not so popular as another fashion brand like Chanel,so japanese newspaper was not eager to announce it.

I have never bought his clothes. But I passionately loved his dresses.These were full of fascination, and beyond expression.

So I respeted him.

His dresses were too expensive for me,so I bought a fragrance of McQueen brand.You know,this is called "Kingdom".

"Kingdom" was sold on his birthday,17th March.

I can understand Alexander McQueen's passion about this fragrance.

He had a heart of a lonely little boy,I guess.He felt always pain in the world of vain.

Thank you Alexander for your tremendous creations.I miss you.

Pine

2010-02-17T12:43:00.003+09:00

Pine is a special tree for japanese people.Because it symbolizes eternal vitality.
Really,a pine is appropriate tree to describe the country Japan , I guess.

I want to tell you why I think so, but my English is too poor to explain it in detail.

Words are everything I need

2010-02-15T22:05:00.002+09:00

All the people manipulate the words and use thier languages every moments.

Off course me too.

I really love my mother tongue"Japanese”.

I love every words people uses, but my love for Japanese languge is connected with the litterature japanese for example "The tale of Genji" "Syunkin-sho"" Rasho-mon".

I also adore japanese poem called Waka(Tanka）.

These are the highest communication between people.

Consideration is the key

2010-02-11T21:32:00.004+09:00

I love to explain how to tell a story,but I know very well that all the people don't want to know storyteller 's way to make a story.

A story what I made is something mysterious.

I always explain my feeling,and my consideration.

After consideration, here comes the awakeness.

New novels are on sale

Congratulation!NewOrleans Saints!

2010-02-08T17:01:00.002+09:00

It was very tough game,SuperBowl 44.

Congratulation!
All the fans of NewOrleans Saints.

I felt both team was tremendous but Saints had more fightig spirit than Colts.

Super Bowl forty-four

2010-02-07T15:03:00.002+09:00

Indianapolice Colts vs NewOrleans Saints!!!!

This is fresh and tremendous card I guess.

My favorite Dallas Cowboys …sigh^^;

By the way, the band perform at halftime show is "The Who".

I really love this band, but I wonder that players really know who they are.
They are the band of 60's and 70's!!!

It is a joke" Who are you"!!^^;

I am a performer

2010-02-05T21:44:00.002+09:00

I really love Noh music! So I have been lerning to play Ohkawa, since 2006.

This year, I will perform Ohkawa on the National Noh Theater at Sendagaya.

The photo above : Me, playing Ohkawa .
The tune I played is "Aoinoue".This is the most popular tune.

Determine the word to describe

2010-02-05T18:02:00.004+09:00

I always try to find the word to create the imagenary world.

The imagenary world is not only a novel, but also blogs.

I think I have a tremendous power to describe and present a world of words.

I hope all of you will travel the world that I constructed.When I write a word, I determine it so correctly.

When the mission ended

2010-01-31T21:48:00.002+09:00

I have finished my work.

So happy.

I wrote 2 novels and 2 essays.Then, I will make CD-R　format.

Sorry, these novels are only japanese.If you have an interest in my novel,please send me e-mail.

深良マユミの夢の浮き橋

We have travelled pain and love

2010-01-25T21:42:00.003+09:00

To call ourselves highborn

Living in a maze so crazed lunacy is legend

Lunacy is legend

This lyric　is from the tune "Pain and love" by T Rex.

I really love Mark Bolan.

Every time

2010-01-24T00:06:00.002+09:00

I remember how I lived in my childhood.

When I was a child, I always watched flowers in my little garden.

The day is gone.

Form

2010-01-23T14:24:00.004+09:00

Making a form is important for every artist.

Because a form makes rules.

Beauty always needs rules.

This is my illusion.

This photo is taken by Naoko Nagasawa.She is the most talented photographer I have ever seen!!!!

What is enlightenment?

2010-01-23T10:17:00.002+09:00

This title is Emmanuel Kant's famous book.

Recently,I want to read Kant's works totally.
Because his work is key to civillization around the Europe.

Yesterday once more?

2010-01-21T21:20:00.002+09:00

I don't like the word "Yesterday once more". The most precious time is"now".

Even if yesterday has a full of happiness,people must think what he choose for his
life.

I don't like the word "Yesterday once more",but as an artist, I think the past fertilizes my imaginary world.

The world of my novels is made from my past.

Name makes its character

2010-01-19T21:54:00.002+09:00

My name "Mayumi Fukara" is taken from a heroine of the novel by Kyusaku Yumeno(1889-1936）.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yumeno_Ky%C5%ABsaku

I am so satisfied with this name.The reason will be talked someday^^.

I got the power

2010-01-19T18:58:00.003+09:00

I write a story without studying how to write a novel,but I have been imitating the description of Japanese great writers like Murasaki-shikibu,Junichiro Tanizaki,Yasunari Kawabata.

Tanizaki, Kawabata, they are operating the words delicately.They always choose the word.

The power of word changes everything.

Stranger in town

2010-01-16T21:51:00.002+09:00

When I write a story,I always suppose the end of this story.
I imagine the ending, what the heroine says, what cloth the hero wears.

My novel is often said that a boy(or a girl) meets a stranger in town, therefore the accident occurs suddenly.

I say accidents are the mother of novels^^!?

For me,stranger in my imagination is charming, but he is the simulacrum of myself.

Your lover

2010-01-16T16:49:00.002+09:00

Do you think your lover is constantly honest with you?

This question is wrong and weird? I hope so.

It is always difficult to believe beloved.

I think to fall in love is to be dazed with illusion, so I don't love anybody except an imaginary person.

Composers

2010-01-13T11:27:00.004+09:00

The composer I respect most is Dmitry Shostcovich.I have no words to explain his works.Extremely beautiful.

Also I love Akira Ifukube^^

He is famous for cinema "Godgilla"'s music,but his works about ancient Japan have higher emotion.

The photo above is Ifukube's own writing.

Practice

2010-01-12T23:34:00.003+09:00

I like drawing picture, but reacently I have no time to do.

The photo is a picture I made last summer.

Fortress

2010-01-11T18:37:00.003+09:00

Everyone has own fortress around his heart, I suppose.

People need to guard his weakness.Because he doesn't want to be hurt his pride.

What is pride? I think it is a kind of satisfaction!!!! A-ha!

For me, fortress is my intelligence.
I have been manipulating it for building up my pride.

Watching NFL

2010-01-09T21:33:00.002+09:00

I love watching American major sports（NBA ,NFL, MLB, and NHL）.The best is NFL！！！

I like Dallas Cowboys^^. I am happy Dallas beated Philadelphia Eagles!

In NBA, I cheer New York Knicks.They were tremendous team in 90's, but reacently, they are almost"Doormat"^^;! Oh my Goooooooood!（sigh）.

The player of Dallas, I watch Mike Jenkins#21（Conerback）.His talent is magnificent!!!!

I am eager to Tony Romo's beautiful pass, and wanna go to Cowboys studium someday.

2010-01-08T19:08:00.003+09:00

Last December, I made a photosession with a wonderful photographer named Naoko Nagasawa(Her blog is in link！）Her aim is to cut out the tremendous moments of opera.
I really adore her photographs!!!!!These are the miracles.

I often go to the temples and shirines. Sacred place .

Title of this blog

2010-01-05T00:02:00.002+09:00

Japan is tha country that has extreamly original culture.
Its culture mixed European and Oriental. Do you Know how many japanese weman wears Kimono everyday???

Perhaps only 5 or 6%　weman,I suppose.Me ,I sometimes take Kimono,but not usual.

Traditional Japanese culture is almost ceremony, in this country.
So I decide that I will manipulate japanese tea ceremony, Ikebana, bonsai,and Tsudumi.

Japanese beauty is found out ! It is me.

Operate one 's mind

2010-01-04T18:24:00.006+09:00

Sometimes I feel myself as an operator of words.

I prefer to be a manipulator of someone 's imagination.

Dreaming of Edo

2010-01-02T22:23:00.002+09:00

Once I wrote a novel called "Daiteyarouka".This one is about Geisha of Edo-period.
Heroine is famous for fabulous dancing, of course she is a perfectly beauty(
like a doll! WOW）.
But,she cannnot marry a beloved one.
She is left alone.

I studied music of Edo-period ,for example "Nagauta" "Shinnai""Tokiwadu"very hard.
I also learned Shamisen.It was exciting!!!!

Construction in my heart

2010-01-01T22:09:00.004+09:00

I always wonder that how everyone can realize about their own thinking from their
own feelings.

It is hard for me to distanguish my thinking from my feeling.

Heart,mind, brain.

I write a story from my heart through construction of thinking.

Love you inside and out

2010-01-01T11:37:00.003+09:00

Love has no power.

A form of love is powefull.

This is my illusion.

Ikebana

2009-12-31T16:12:00.002+09:00

I learned Ikebana(sougetsu school）for 4 years,and I reallized that flowers have enormous power to cheer the person.

Flowers are almost sacred.To put in words,it can not be described at all.
