As I don't have a new things to say, I will show you our living room. I think this is a scene of the average Japanese living room. The green megaphone on the table is used when a family member talking to their elderly deaf mother. She has a hearing aid but hates it for some reason. So I made the one for her. The tiered food boxes on the bench are a "jubako (重箱)" which are a kind of Japanese eating utensils. We put special dishes for New Year in them. I have to put away them at once because the period of New Year's celebration ended. On the left side of the bench, there is an occasional altar for our cat who died of old age (23 years!) last summer. She used to love lying down here.
