ninomiya kinjiro

he is ninomiya kinjiro(1787-1856)

you can see his figure in every elementary school all over japan.

of course it was in my school.

it's at odawara station. i often went to odawara when i worked at hot spring spa resort hotel in itoh, shizuoka prefecture.

i encountered mr ryotsu

i lost ex-job for the world economic crisis.

i looked for new work. so i visited kameari for a job-interview.

i didn't pass the interview. but i saw ryo-san inf ront of the station.

once i was told by jobmates" you are ryotsu!!"

because of square face, body shape, short hair.

i may agree in it. i may be otaku,either.
