Yesterday I went to see a Japanese movie 「春を背負って」.

I didn’t know the story, but I knew the film was shot on one
of the Tateyama peaks 「立山連峰」.

I wanted to see 立山.
立山 brought back many cherished memories to me.

I was living in Toyama City with my husband when my daughter
was born.

My father sent us a piece of tanka poetry to celebrate the birth
of our daughter.

It was composed and written by himself. 
He was a calligrapher and tanka poet.

碧(あお)ふかきやよいの空にそびえたつ 今朝の立山とうとかりけり

Oh, how I miss those happy days!
