Echizen Washi

Her husband owns a bike shop which is the only one in Otaki, our area. I like this couple very much.

Kiyoko-san has passed away last evening..... age 83. She often told me about her experience working for a paper studio where produced money bill in 1940s. She took a walk with her friend passing though a path in front of my house. Every time I met her, she often encouraged me a lot. Even though age 83 is quite old, it is always sad to face with people's passing. I heard about the news this morning while I was making paper and my tears couldn't stop..... I miss her a lot. But we accept her passing.

Memories live in people's mind forever.
