日本の端から世界の平和を祈る猫サンタクロース。

ぼくが生まれた鹿児島県は日本の端にあります。
Kagoshima prefecture where I was born is at the edge of Japan.

It has a temperate climate and there are four seasons.
It is a wonderful place to enjoy every season.

ぼくの後ろに写っている山は「桜島」です。
The name of the mountain behind is "Sakurajima".

日本でとても有名な活火山で、頻繁に噴火します。
しかし人々はそれに慣れています。
降ってきた灰は掃除します。
灰がたくさん降る日は、洗濯物を部屋の中に干します。
そうやって、人々は活火山と共存しています。
そして、ここで暮らす人達にとって、この山は親や兄弟や友達のように大切な存在です。
It is a very famous active volcano in Japan. This mountain erupts frequently.
But people are used to it.
People will clean the falling ashes.
People dry laundry in the room when ash falls a lot.
That way, people coexist with active volcanoes.
And for the people who live here, this mountain is important like parents, brothers and friends.

世界中の人達の大切なものが大事にされますように祈ります。
I pray that the important things of people all around the world will be cherished.

The edge of the main island of Japan.

In the original Italian version of Cinderella, the benevolent fairy godmother figure was a cat.

Miacis, the primitive ancestor of cats, was a small, tree-living creature of the late Eocene period, some 45 to 50 million years ago.

Lions are the only cats that live in groups, called prides. Every female within the pride is usually related.

A cat has two vocal chords, and can make over 100 sounds.

Cats are extremely sensitive to vibrations. Cats are said to detect earthquake tremors 10 or 15 minutes before humans can.

Edward Lear, author of \The Owl and the Pussycat\"", is said to have had his new house in San Remo built to exactly the same specification as his previous residence, so that his much-loved tabby, Foss, would immediately feel at home."""
