私の両親が3月から4月にかけて3週間滞在した折、ばあちゃんが娘に作ってくれたおりがみの入れ子の箱。全部出しては入れなおし、出しては入れなおし。今でも遊んでいるよ。When my parents stayed with us for three weeks from March to April, Grandma made this origami boxes for our daughter. She takes them apart and puts them together, and starts all over again. She still plays with it.
組み立て中。Putting them together.
できあがり！私も孫ができたら、この箱を作ってやるのだろうなと思いつつ傍らで見つめる。その子はいったい何語を話すのだろう。何語であれ、これは美しき日本の文化として継承することにしましょう。Here is the outermost one with everything in. I saw her working on it, while imagining me making these boxes for my own grand child in the future, wondering what language s/he would be speaking. Whatever his/her language, I will proudly pass on this beautiful Japanese culture.
