(The Kanto Plain toward east-northeast of Tokyo from its north)It Snowed in Kyoto and Tokyo
(Il a neigé à Kyoto et Tokyo.)
Now, half of Japan is under snowing.
Regardless of the Sea of Japan's coats or the Pacific Ocean's coasts, the north half of the Japanese Archipelago is under the snowing conditions.
But, even in its south half, if faced with the Sea of Japan, it can be often snowing.
Especially Kyoto, 500km west-southwest of Tokyo, can have more snow than in Tokyo, since Kyoto Prefecture faces the Sea of Japan.

And Tokyo, blown by a sea wind, had the first snow of this year yesterday or a day before, though it was just humble spattering.
SECTION I: Spies from the Cold
Last night I got a once-in-a-decade kind of reports from a Japan's TV news program after my work late in the night.
A Russian spy bribed one of Cabinet Research Officers of the Japanese Government.
The Russian, working in the Russian Embassy in Tokyo, paid US$40,000 over several years to the Japanese officer to get some information.
It is very rare in Japan that such an incident is made public, though there are astonishingly no laws in Japan that punish a Japanese citizen for his act of treachery against Japan, which however is very Christian.
It is said that North Korea did, could and can still use, as a kind of spies, hundreds of thousands of North Korean residents in Japan who have been living in the Japanese society before and after WWII.
It is also said that any Chinese visiting Japan with any official titles, including a diplomat, a professor, and a researcher, are a kind of spies.
The issue is that politicians in democratic society are vulnerable to spies from the outside who would donate a big money to their political campaigns and activities.
But, Japanese laws never allow such public spending; the Government budget and political party payments are officially checked by its Parliament, the Board of Audit, tax offices, and so on.
Japan cannot bribe foreign politicians due to its basically Christian Constitution system.
Only what the Japanese Government, ruling parties, or pro-US politicians can do may be offer military bases on the territory of Japan almost free to the US Government.
Most of living costs of US soldiers in Japan are paid by the Japanese Government, though US voters and taxpayers as well as deans of Harvard do not seem to be informed well of this very important fact.
Anyway, once there were many conservative Japanese politicians with a strong tie with North Korea (some of whom lost their status during the era of premiership of Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi).
Now, Chinese agents supported by huge funds seem to be enjoying free activities in the Japanese society, though they do not look very harmful, since China and the U.S. are in good terms together advancing to the success of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and huge financial mutual dependence.
In addition, winter in Beijing and Pyongyang is colder than in Rome, Paris, London, Berlin, or Warsaw.
SECTION II. A Poor Woman in Japan
I read a letter from a female reader to an agony column of a certain Japanese newspaper.
She wrote that she had been bullied by the late mother of her husband since she had married, though she was blessed with good children.
But, her husband never helped her.
Now, she is given a pain by a sister of her husband who often brings her children to her original home where the poster of the letter and her husband live.
Children of her sister-in-law are rude and violent, showing no respect to their aunt-in-law.
But, her husband has never helped her.
Once it was common in Japan that the eldest son of a family lived with their parents in the parent's home. Therefore, the wife of the eldest son was sometimes forced to serve her parents-in-law just like a servant.
This is an example of still one of the gravest social issues in Japan, since such a situation often leads to a tragic incident, if not spousal violence.
But, of course, spying out a secret of other family is a sin, a very grave sin, if not for imminent prevention of child abuse or something like that, in my view.
SECTION III. Divorced President
If a man or a woman who have married three times becomes the US President, we must be truly alerted, though we do not have to be against a madam President or a minority-origin President.
Though the Vatican does not seem to mind such a thing nowadays, US Christians and poor Americans should be really alerted.
US Christians and poor Americans should also remember that leaders of China and North Korea never respect Jesus Christ.
Their female spy might become the second or third wife of a US President someday.
US Christians and poor Americans should realize that the reason of their existence is to supersede the Vatican.
It is because the God allowed Columbus to discover the new continent America for that purpose.

And now, I hope you will have a happy weekend, though I don't recommend you Las Vegas, since espionage agents and mafias love such a world.
In that case, you had better be blown by the wind, since an answer is blown high over the Kanto Plain, the last reach of the General Winter from Siberia.
(This Sunday is January 20, isn't it?
Last year it was January 21.
Indeed, we have to change the calendar system.
We need no months but 365 days or 366 days in a yearly calendar.
The days corresponding to multiples of 7 should be Sunday.
We should call a day, say, "the 210th day of the year, Sunday" or so.)
