Take care always, Grandpa!
Takenohanasashi is a type of bamboo "vase" for putting flowers into found in cemeteries.
These days they are usually plastic or ceramic.
Postscript
"It's thrilling!!!" That is the term that best expresses everything I think about the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.
Not only do I love the great storyline (which a normal human would never imagine) but also the dialogues! Every word in Mr Araki's stories has the ability to penetrate the brain and shake it to its core. No one can imitate his sensitivity! It goes far beyond common sense! Perhaps this is one of the supernatural powers of the author!
I find myself turning each page, my heart palpitating as I wait for the words that will jump out at me, the new onomatopoeia that will be born... I can imagine Mr Araki rubbing his chin, a mischievous smile on his face, while he thinks about these dialogues and sound effects.
Finally, I'll quote one of my favourite scenes, apart from JoJo, from Baoh the Visitor. In volume 1 page 67, in the fifth box, when the bird says "Thank you!" with its short tongue.
I don't know anyone else who is able to give so much impact to such a small box and to the insignificant word of a bird.
Dear Mr Araki, although we are neighbour, we don't see each other very much. Never mind: the next time we see each other, let's have a good laugh! (like kids...)Gallery
