＜Diary of Staff＞This time we received a diary from the manager Mr.S of the day when BYJ had arrived to Japan secrecy the other day.
We will show it to you!

【SIMM SIMM diary Thursday, February 26】
I write a diary after a long absence. The reason is not for somebody, not for reading..
But I think by writing this letter my frozen heart will begin to melt.
Because I don't know how I tell you my present feeling. Anyway, I decided to begin to write.

On February 26, Sendai Airport was very quiet unlike the airport which I always used, and there were few other visitors. Meanwhile, we the staffs waited in the airport while we were tense and having a feeling to throb as we would invite Mr. BYJ who would come to Japan in a secret from the 2,600km distant northern country.

At 12:20, the airplane arrived. We were guided by the persons of the airport and we got into the car safely. 　
We began the long distance trip about 200km to Morioka.

I watched him with a rearview mirror of a car. 　　His eyes looked at the window. It looked like he thought about something.
Probably I think that it is a usual thing. When ... it's the feeling to want to see "family". It seemed to reach me.
Meanwhile he took out a camera and has begun to take outside from the window. 　He did it to keep the memory. 　Or he may want to show families the photographs sometime….

We drove for about 2 hours and arrived at the spot.
From now on we were going to have the experience of lacquer, but we watched the works of Mr全 teacher at once first.
We were not able to hide surprise in the splendor. 　BYJ looked like to want to try the experience of lacquer soon while watching the works one by one. 　His eyes shined brighter.

Then we were having the dinner which the family of the teacher prepared. And the feelings of expectation came strong, as we would begin the experience of lacquer from the day after.

The teacher finished the dinner. 　And he said "You will get up at 5:30 tomorrow" and then he left the room.

It was a warm winter, but the body really aches from the cold of Morioka that is a northern country.
　However, I forgot cold gradually because I had feeling of strain and expectation.

Then I will do my best from tomorrow.
Good night ...

BYJ
