I used to climb a nearby hill and catch beetles in the early-morning dew. At festival time, I’d follow the portable shrine and the dance with the lion’s mask. All my memories are sweet. My family was poor, but my childhood days in Mizonokuchi were the happiest of my life. Even now, when I think about my hometown, I can’t stop the tears from welling up. I would give anything to go back to that happy time, to feel so innocent and full of hope once more.
