I like watching Mt.Sakurajima in the morning.

I have made it practice of taking video of the volcano in the morning, because I love the morning scenery of the volcano.

The morning view of Mt.Sakurajima gives me lots of spirit and hope!

I took this video on 5 May 2015. I hope you watch and enjoy its beauty. If you feel depressed or sad, I am sure the video will encourage you definitely.

Mt.Sakurajima is a source of Mental Energey

Actually I felt not so good that morning. I was thinking “Oh, I don’t to go for work”.
I forced myself to get out of the bed and opened the window of my room. Bright sunshine welcomed me.

As I am seeing the volcano, I gradually regain the mental strength.

Then I start to think “I will be OK at my workplace today, too”.

I really want to share the movie, so I took posted the video at this blog. Personally I have not met you before (probably), but the scenery is too beautiful for me to see it alone.

I pray for you so that you will have some good news today!

Do you know the symbol of Kagoshima Prefecture？

Each prefectures of Japan has their symbol mark.

Please have a look at the symbol mark of Kagoshima Prefecture below.

It stands for the shape of Kagoshima Prefecture. Central red circle is Mt.Sakurajima.

For your information, a small crack on the right side of the mark is Shibushi Bay. (Many bulk career ships come to the port from all over the world!)

By the way, I have a secret that I want to tell you about the mark of Kagoshima Prefecture…!

Passionate Spirit hidden in Symbol Mark

Do you think the mark resembles Japan’s national flag?

It was the feudal lord of Kagoshima (Mr. Nariakira Shimazu) who invented the Japan’s national flag.

At that time, Japan just opened itself to the world after long period of isolation. In order to distinguish Japanese ships from foreign ones, he put the Japan’s national flag on his ship for the first time.

Kagoshima has produced many great contributors to modernization of Japan. Those people include Mr.Nariakira Shimazu, but only Mr.Takamori Saito and Mr.Toshimichi Okubo.

They considered not only Kagoshima but also welfare of whole Japan.

I think that the prefecture symbol mark stands for their passionate spirits and love to Kagoshima and Japan.

Summary

・When you come to Kagoshima, please watch the morning view of Mt.Sakurajima.

・Kagoshima Prefecture’s symbol mark stands for the shape of the prefecture.

・The symbol mark is similar to Japan’s national flags and is filled with passions of great historical people of Kagoshima.

私は朝に桜島を見るのが好きです。動画を撮る習慣がついたのも、この朝日を見ることが楽しみだから、ということがあります。

桜島の朝焼けは私に希望を与えてくれます。2015年5月15日に素敵な朝日を撮影できたので、ぜひご覧になってください。もし今あなたが元気ないのだとしたら、きっと心が明るくなるのでおススメですよ。

桜島は勇気を与えてくれる存在です

この日の朝もけだるい気持ちで起きたんですよ。あー、仕事いくの嫌だなあ・・・、って。
もそもそ寝床から這い出て、ベランダの窓を開け放ちます。輝かんばかりの朝日の祝福を受けました。

神々しい桜島の姿を見てると、少しずつ元気が沸いてきます。

あー、なんとか今日もがんばれそうかな、って。

あなたと是非分かち合いたくて、この動画を撮影しました。もちろん、このブログを訪れてくださったあなたに直接お会いしたことはないと思います。

ただ、この朝日は私が独り占めするには、あまりにももったいな過ぎます。

どうかあなたが今日も何か良いことがありますように。
