2. Old House

During Japanese Trip, we went to a friend's Japanese traditional house and stayed for one night. The house was his grandparents', 2 floors, with Tatami, garden.Calligraphy, old photos, mini-temple, were the decoration in the house. I recognised some characters in the calligraphy, 「積塵成山」,means when you save dust, it could become a mountain, it told the heir should save every coins,resources. You would know that this family should be thrifty, scholar. The living room was on the ground floor, the rooms were 1st floor. There were of course no western bed and chair,the mat were setted on ground. Sometimes, I wonder why Japanese like kneeling? It was uncomfortable. Sleeping on ground was fine for me, and I enjoyed that, because the ground had a lot of space and would not feel any limitation. I didnt take photos of the house, or even took it, could not show to public, as this was really someone's house. But without photos, it is quite hard to tell how beautiful it was.

One of my friend studied "energy', he thought, nature had energy, and people could feel and absorb the energy, it could make you more healthier. Energy could be found in temple/church mostly. When he went into this old house, he felt the energy too. Also, he had a dowsing rob, which could help to detect the energy and showed you the direction to the energy. We got the rob and test. We walked a lot, finally, I was tired and went to asleep quickly.(The grandparent did not live there, otherwise, could be so annoyed by us)

The other day, I tried once again without the rob. It was strange that when I went near the mini-temple, I could hear a strange noise.When I closed my eyes, I could see some orange flash. However, when I sat far way from the temple, nothing happened. I tried around 10 times, the result was the same. I dont know if I absorbed the energy, but it was an amazing experience.

It was great to stay there, you could just stay in the living room, open the full height glass panel, and see the whole garden. I was regret that I didnt see stars and drink sake there at night......
