(Lake Towada in Aomori)
Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, my bus started
for Lake Towada.
A light rain was falling when I stood before 'Statue of Maidens',
the last sculpture by Kohtaro Takamura.
I remembered the day I watched the statue with my dear husband
---43 years ago.
Oh, what a long way I've come without him!
