New year’s Day 2019

The first sunrise

 

Some years ago

I would come to the beach to surf

Every day around sunrise

As I had no mobile, newspaper, TV nor internet

Once I realized it was the New Year’s Day

To see the beach totally different from it was in normal days – there were lots of people there

Next day, the beach was quiet as usual.

Japanese do come out to see the rising sun

To admire it

Even in this modern days

They gather together

To view the sun rising for the first time in the year

That’s the Japanese; such a lovely people
