The fireplace at the Oyama’s house

#Days in Vancouver

The firewood was burning brightly in the fireplace. It was glorious.
The smell of the firewood was distinctly different from the smell of the flames and firewood Mako remembered from her childhood.
Mako's parents and her grandma had heated water for bath in a small earthen floor of old house built in 1952.

There were beautiful cherry trees (sakura) outside. Many of them were double-flowered. Mako personally prefer cherry trees bearing single blossoms.

The following day Mako went to a party that took place in the flurry of falling blossoms at Mr. Ōyama’s workplace at British Columbia University.

Mako also went downtown and broke down a 100-dollar travel check. While at it, she also bought a paper tablecloth. Mako had already acquired a definite weakness for buying unnecessary things. She’s sent it to Japan, and now a cute paper cloth with tulip pattern is slumbering as a “memento” in her desk.

In a record shop Mako found a record sold to commemorate the 25th anniversary since Gould’s debut.

The joint performance with E. Schwarzkopf and a rare sonata by Scarlatti is on this record. An actress is displayed on the record jacket for dramatic effect Gould is so good at. In a jest Mako has learned in Canada is typical for Gould, pictures of someone’s bad attempt to look like Nietzsche and a young lad dressed in black leather jumper are also shown.

That was actually Gould in disguise, but Mako hadn’t noticed it for a long time. By the look of the fingers and hands in the photos,she finally managed to figure out that was Gould fooling around.

#Likes and dislikes

“I don’t like that man. Your brother also said he got irritated when he heard Gould.”
“Could you please stop bringing that up over and over again?”

Mr. Ōyama loved Nana Mouskouri’s “Season in the Sun”, and he was always listening to it.
Mako and Mr.Ōyama shared a tendency towards depression.

“This man will definitely commit suicide!”
Mako guesses he’s talking about a person from the song.

Mako likes poetry by Sylvia Plath. It’s easier for her to understand people wish for death.

One day, Mr. Ōyama took Mako for an airplane ride.
The Cessna is soaring up into the sky.

And yet, they could die if Mr. Ōyama who is piloting the plane would let go of the control system.
However, they arrived safely to the San Juan Island.
Mako ate a delicious ice cream with natural vanilla flavour.

When two came back, his wife said, “I’ve been to that island many times over, but I’ve never eaten ice cream there.”
Her words made Mako feel as if she did something wrong.

The nature around Vancouver is, in a word, splendid.
The Ōyamas live in Barnaby city east of Vancouver. Just walking around the neighbourhood of the house in Barnaby makes Mako feel as if she were in a natural park.

Mako went to Sears and to the supermarket, making first steps towards enjoying her life in Canada. At any rate, everything is big and wide – the shops, the nature.
