My treasure

   My treasure is a picture which was given from my friend in elementary school. It is a painting of Sherlock Holmes was painted in it. Maybe, my friend used brush and net. First, he drew what he wanted to draw on a piece of paper. Next, he cut the paper as he drew. After that, the cut paper was put on the thin paper. Then, he applied paints to a brush. Next, he brushed a net by it above the thin paper. The colors were painted on the papers. Finally, the cut paper put off from the thin paper. I think that is the way he painted it.

   When I was at the end of fourth grade in elementary school, I moved to Takahira.  We were in the same class in Takahira elementary school,  and from fifth grade to sixth grade, we didn’t have a class change, so we had been in same class for two years. He did Shorinji Kenpo and was an assistant instructor at that time. I didn’t understand it then, but now I understand it was great thing. Also, both of us like to draw illustrations. That’s the reason we got along with each other. We used to go to draw together in the holiday.

   However, I moved again and went to Shimasaki where I live now, so we went to different junior high school. We had written to each other several times but we didn’t have a cell phone and we haven’t done anything together for a long time. In junior high school, I still wrote to him for a few times. In high school, I never wrote to him. I was busy to study and going to club practice.

   When we were in the second grade in junior high school, I ran across him once. We didn’t talk a lot and didn’t have cell phone, then too. I want to see him again. I’ll write to him. This is the story about my treasure and why the picture is my treasure.
