A cicada that invites you to sleep in the afternoon

[Koedo Itabashi] August 25, 2016 16:00

How many kinds of cicadas live in Tokyo?

When the sunlight returns after the rain, the streets covered with concrete

It springs out into the trees and squeals.

Once you are concerned about it, your ears follow the sound.

 

Minminminmin

Jigie

Shashashashashasha

The sound coming down from a tall branch of a tree is a sound that represents summer.

Minminzemi, Abrazemi, bear seminar.

Ji, tsukutsukuhoshi, tsukutsukuhoshi

This cicada's squeal can be used to determine the type without mistake.

Cicada time rain is the seasonal word of summer.

Both the fall and the tray have already passed, but now is the best.

 

I went to St. Luke International Hospital in Akashicho.

The street from Tokyo Metro Tsukiji Station to St. Luke's Tower is located.

It is nicknamed "St. Luke Street".

Walk along the tree-lined road on the north side, avoiding sunlight.

Just across the Akashi Time Dome and the road is the height of the tree.

In addition, I feel like the squeals go through the sky.

Does the wall of the hospital resonate exquisitely?

There are two benches on the path.

I'm sitting down a little bit.

Slowly, the white hair was shaking.

If you are wrapped in trees, your heart will be shaken by the boat.

The voice of the noisy cicada seems to have changed to a survey that draws into the dream world.

 

In the early Meiji era, this neighborhood brought various artifacts as foreign settlements.

It can be said that it is a point of contact for culture.

Therefore, you can see a lot of monuments and commentary boards.

The roots of mission schools in Tokyo were also concentrated in this area.

I've been praying at Toysler Hall in St. Luke Hospital.

It is a place of prayer for patients and a hospital chapel where many lectures are held.

If you sit quietly on a chair, you will feel calm.

Can anyone enter the room?

It's okay if you don't have time for worship.

I myself am a plain Buddhist.
