When the bait box is full, I hear lively birdsong
As soon as person shadow is reflected in the window, speed of escape is amazing
Yakitori was a specialty of stalls, when I was a university student in Kobe
The sound of firecrackers from rice ears is also a season when sparrows suffer, and fear of people becomes a gene for sparrows.
