Navigation around Stars
The spring weather and a lot of the love to the astronomy is represented in this

“Some years ago, when I took a trip to Iriomote island in Okinawa, I happened
to see stars reflecting perfectly on the surface of the sea of the inlet. It was so
fascinatingly. At this fancy sight I felt as if I were rolling a boat on the great
river of Milky Way.” says Kagaya
