Last friday, I went a shop located in Iidabashi, Tokyo to see marionettes. Puppet House is a shop which sell many marionettes made by Japanses artists and overseas artists. I have been interested in marionettes since I've played at my friend's house. He went Czech Republic alone and very impressed by marionettes there. He bought some for himself.
I used to make many dolls when I was in university and I wanted dedicate my life to making dolls at that time. Now I can't open my heart to dolls like that period, but marionette is a strange thing. When I played it, they concentrated on it and laughed. I just wondered, even I, the player, couldn't feel life in it, they seemd like they did.
I wanted one but very expensive. I looked around the shop and spend much time. But I finally I bought one.

Yeah, very expensive. I feel a price increases very dramatically when it is good thing. We can get same kinds of things in cheaper prices, but something is different. And that something is important for me, unfortunately.
>Mr.Bob
Wow, I envy you. But you are going to miss your friends, aren't you?
Yes, I am so miss my friends.
All my friends leave, and I am left in a school.
Because I am going to study in a graduate school.
Anyway life in a university was great,
and it's a precious memory now.
By the way,
Can you explain about the "something" which makes
differences between a good one and a cheaper one.
Don't say about your expression, it's OK.
I often make many misses. But for our aim, I also know
that we need to check expressions by ourselves.
Well, I hope your future in a graduate school
will be perfect. And I also wish you'll be a
great person like you told us before someday.
The future is yours..!
The "something" which I wrote is "pray" and "soul".
Only a few good things are allowed to have such things.
They can endure its goodness even trends were passed.
It is similar to.., for example,
family restaurant food is good enough
but when you eat your girl friend's cook,
may-be you feel obvious differences.
Something warm, something very close to your heart.
The good thing has that aspect. And people can feel that
not clearly but obviously. So it can be very expensive.
Thank you very much.
Lives in a graduate school will be hard,
but I'll try to make it meaningful and precious.
I undersatand what "something" mean.
I feel a kind of same feeling to a dance.
Good dancer has an atmosphere.
And the atmosphere makes differences even if another dancer
moves in a completely same way.
Though it was very expenixive, you could meet
such a good marionette and got it.
That's wonderful!
I think you did a right decision that you bought it.
