The sight of fall spreading in my dull mind.
		The secret of the gods living in Mt. Moiwa.
This homepage, written with Japanese first in October 7, 2006, was translated into English in October 28, 2006.
	When it notices suddenly, falling leaves already are drifting here and there. When wind blows, it feels cold somehow. It probably would be the sign saying winter comes soon. But, it didn't feel such wind so cold ten years ago. By any chance, would it be the evidence of my aging ? Or else, would it be because foolish persons or my poverty grow increasingly ? At any rate, it is hard to stand the cold wind anymore because it gives me the keen pain. Once there was the commercial message saying children's behavior is the copy of the behavior the adults show.
		So, as the message like that says, children doing the evil without torture of the heart and children not understanding the others' heart are increasing rapidly. And, it can say the merciless bullying increasing rapidly at school also is the copy of the thoughtless situation shown at the society and the home. Even if it says autumnal wind has been changed to blizzard any longer, it never be exaggeration. Oh! I'm sorry for my careless grumble in spite of having tried to state the salutation. By the way, I think you are spending the joyful days with health. Probably it seems the persons taking consecutive holidays for three days as for this week are many. So, I suggest you occasionally walk Mt. Moiwa for watching the nature.
		As a matter of fact, old gods and various spirits and so on are living in Mt. Moiwa. It is because the words of Moiwa originally mean the small mountain the gods and goddesses are living in. But, to tell the truth, the Moiwa in Sapporo we call Moiwa isn't true Moiwa originally. The original Moiwa is called Mt. Maruyama now, being beside the now Moiwa. If you search the old atlas made at Maiji era, by any chance it may be possible you find out the evidence like that.
	The people in those days had to enshrine Yamato's gods to the original Moiwa, to show the evidence Hokkaido is Japanese territory. However, the original Moiwa is the place the old gods and goddesses are living in. Therefore, they had to drive away the old gods and goddesses from the original Moiwa, that is, the now Maruyama. So, they took away the name of Moiwa from the original Moiwa, gave the name of Maruyama there. Furthermore, they decided the ordinary mountain beside the original Moiwa is Moiwa.
			So, since they could drive away the old gods and goddesses to the false Moiwa, it is that it enshrined Yamato's gods to Maruyama at last. This is the historical fact persistently though no one states the thing. To tell the truth, the illustration in this homepage is the impression I feel of the gods and goddesses cooped up in the now Moiwa and of the living things living there. Why, now did you ask why did I think to draw the illustration like that ?
	Oh, I feel glad for that asking very much. I think to state the reason with pleasure. But, please don't laugh, saying you are crazy. To tell the truth, once I made with the old gods and goddesses the promise I am given the various wisdom and secret information with expressing their mortification. Rather it may be better to say they made me promise like that, giving me the pressure with appearing on my dream many times.
		At that time, my ages just were about to be thirty. Well, I can understand your mind it can't trust such a thing. But, I assert this is truth doubtlessly. Because it is my real experience. If you search all my homepages detailedly, it would realize this is truth. Anyhow, I feel relived, finishing speaking all.
	Thank you for reading this though I don't know what kind of impression you felt about this.
