Daily Life, Travels and Events in Reiwa

March 1, 2026: On a sunny Sunday afternoon, I visited Tennoji Zoo in Osaka. Come to think of it, I first came here about 60 years ago with my father. I took a photo at the very same spot where my father had taken a picture of me back then. The scenery has changed considerably, making me once again realize just how long sixty years truly is. I have loved tigers — the large, beautiful, and graceful big cats — ever since I was a child. This tiger is a male named Shohei, born in January 2019.
