Moments of Happiness (Flowers of Japan)
Please Note- a higher quality version is now online, which you can see here. Be sure to click the ‘HQ’ button to enjoy a substantially higher resolution version, as was originally intended- www.youtube.com Here are the beautiful Flowers and Views of Mt Fuji, with a traditionally soothing Japanese ‘koto’ music soundtrack. The actual pictures were taken in 2001 on a film camera- I had no idea at the time they would end up in this form or even that they’d be on the internet. I want to thank everyone who has expressed an interest in this project. It shows to me just how timeless the beauty of this landscape is. For me it is the ‘real Japan’. As time goes by, far from gettiung forgotten, the spread of leisure culture has made this more widely appreciated and I am proud to be a part of it in this way. The song is “Itsuki No Komoriuta”, from a CD compilation I got called “The Koto- Japanese Healing Music”, from the 100 yen store- I’ll only be here ’til Bon; if Bon comes early, I’ll go home early. I’m just a beggar; these are goodly folk, with nice? obi waist-sashes and nice kimono. If I should die, bury me by the roadside; offerings or water will come from the heavens. If I should die, who would cry for me? Only the locusts in those pine mountains. Yoroshiku! Starfires.

@jinx13825 ummm shed the lack of knowledge and thea pre fixed views that the media install in the minds of the young, to be an empathic civilsation
@ForceRcnMarine That is a good point. These countries are so worried about keeping there citizens safe/controlling there citizens/ect that they dont realize that a simple flower can change the entire state of mind of a human.
?????????????????????
@LoneHike They definitely did not keep their culture. They’re just like every other Country too caught up on technology and other distractions and not focusing on the small things and their own culture itself.
@LoneHike very true my friend….
??????????????????????????
so nice melody
@nerektakeilla Oh hey, cool, someone who isn’t insane. I believe my little comment wishing Japan all the best and giving them a cheers for staying homogeneous was what started all the lemmings with the nazi comments.
They simply do not understand that wanting to preserve a people/culture is not racism, it’s not even close in fact. =)
xD Back listening to this nice song, and still wishing Japan the best.
Keep your country Japanese guys, love ya! =)
From Iowa to Japan, love.

@Bossofsardine Now I understand why you are angry. I write”for poor beggers” it is by my poor ablitity of English, I want to write “saddness of the poor like beggers”
@Bossofsardine There you can find the word “kanjin” and in this song it means a-begging for poorness. This song is very beautiful and sad. I only said so. I never dispise this song.

@DoritoMonk BTW, Hitler was from Austria, not Germany. And you can still find the ‘old’ Japanese culture in Japan, you just have to visit little villages, not Tokyo or Osaka, those cities are of course very westernized.
