I have uploaded an image file that shows a Camellia japonica - "yabu", an original species in Japan, on the front page. This stock goes back to ten years before, when I move from Tokyo to Kyoto, where I found it and planted in my yard of the previous house. It gradually got weak and barren year by year there. I moved it from Kyoto to Tokyo and planted it to my house. The stock itself is very nice and strong so that I have expected it to regain its futility. Finally, its beauty has come back.


Any plant has its own suitable place to be planted. It is so as for humans. I'm happy to be back to Tokyo.
