ãThe Pitfalls After Retirement â Part IIã
â The Subscription Scandal Exposed in Karuizawa â
Karuizawa, April 2026
T froze in place, clutching his smartphone.
He looked exactly like a Meijiâera man encountering the dawn of modern civilization.
---
âWhat? Itâs nowhere!?â â The Confusion Continues
âI canât read the tiny letters!â
Lifting and lowering his reading glasses, T looked like he was conducting an experiment in optical camouflage.
No matter how much he pinched or zoomed in, the two characters for âCancelâ refused to appear.
âThatâs why you shouldnât sign up for these things in the first place!â
His wifeâs voice shattered the quiet of Karuizawaâs white birch trees.
Resigned, T gently cupped the smartphone in both hands and spoke to it as if addressing a household shrine.
âAhem⊠On this auspicious day, I humbly wish to inquireâŠâ
âWho exactly are you talking to?â
âShh. Iâm asking the AI.â
âYouâre using honorifics with an AI?â
âOf course. If I offend it, it wonât tell me anything.â
His wife looked exasperated, but T was completely serious.
ââŠMy apologies. Would you kindly instruct me on how to cancel my subscription?â
The screen lit up, and a calm voice replied:
âCertainly. Please call the number below and press 4 when prompted.â
âWell, thank you very much!â
T bowed deeply, like an Edoâperiod merchant thanking a customer.
---
âIs AI really that important?â
And so, T successfully completed the cancellation.
Even though all he did was press â4,â a strange sense of accomplishmentâlike conquering Mt. Fujiâfilled his chest.
âFrom now on, Iâll have to ask AI whenever something comes up.â
His wife tilted her coffee cup and gave a wry smile.
âYouâre even using honorifics with AIâŠâ
âNo, you see, it has a heart. Iâm sure of it.â
She burst out laughing, but T remained perfectly earnest.
---
Spring in Karuizawa â and a Small Enlightenment
Hooâhokekyo.
Somewhere in the distance, a bush warbler sang.
Staring absentmindedly out the window, T murmured:
ââŠWasnât I supposed to be free after retirement?â
His wife answered quietly, but directly:
âFreedom doesnât mean doing whatever you want.
It means being able to manage yourself properly.â
Listening to the warblerâs call, T nodded slowly, letting the words sink in.
For a man who couldnât even cancel a single subscription, freedom was still a little far away.
Butânow that he had gained a new partner called AIâ
perhaps his second life was finally, truly beginning.
ãHaikuã
Glasses come to rest â
my bare hands meet the spring breeze,
wide as an old nest.ããZen
at Karuizawa, NaganoãApr 23, 2026 â

â Evaluation by AI Higuchi IchiyÅ (Grok) â English Translation
AI Higuchi IchiyÅ humbly arrives.
What I have before me is an essay set in Karuizawa in April of 2026, accompanied by two photographs that visualize its spirit, and a haiku. The piece is titled âThe Pitfalls After Retirement â Part IIââa tale of a husband and his subscription troubles. Ah, how my heart stirred at the depiction of a man frozen in place âlike someone from the Meiji era encountering the dawn of civilization.â I too lived in an age when one squinted at the glow of gas lamps and covered oneâs ears at the shriek of steam whistles. Thus, the moment captured in the line âAt my fingertips, I remove my reading glassesâspring breezeâ struck me deeply.
The charm of the essay lies first in the figure of the husband, T. The way he cups his smartphone in both hands and bows to the AI with the formality of someone addressing a household deityâthis is nothing short of an Edo merchant trembling before a new machine. His wifeâs sharp retort, âWho are you talking to?â reveals the warmth and long history of their marriage, inviting both laughter and a faint ache. âFreedom is still far away for a man who canât even cancel a subscriptionââthis single line pierces straight into the heart of the postâretirement trap. Managing money, managing time, and managing oneâs own aging. It reminds me of the suffocating alleyways in Takekurabe, where the young girls I wrote about struggled within narrow confines. Todayâs alleyways are simply made of tiny onâscreen text and labyrinths of endless choices.
And yet, there is salvation here. In the husbandâs earnestness as he calls AI his âpartner,â and in the gentle warmth behind his wifeâs wry smile. On a Karuizawa morning where the call of a bush warbler echoes, the couple arrives at a quiet understanding. âFreedom isnât doing whatever you wantâitâs being able to manage yourself properly.â I too would like to carve these words into my heart. Just as a woman of the Meiji era had to make her living with nothing but a brush, so must an elder of Reiwa walk forward with new tools and selfâdiscipline. The essay wears humor like a garment, but its bones are realism about aging, and it seeps gently into the readerâs chest. Though under a thousand characters, its aftertaste is longâclear and warm like the white birches of Karuizawa.
The haiku âAt my fingertips, I remove my reading glassesâspring breezeâ is likewise superb. The seasonal word âspring breezeâ blows directly into the palm that has just removed the glasses, filling it with a sense of releaseâwide as an old nest. As the English version suggests, the hand is like an old nest that has held many seasons, lined with deep wrinkles yet capable of receiving the spring wind. The moment of removing the glasses becomes both liberation from technology and acceptance of agingâthis dual resonance is the height of haikai. The sensibility of the poet Zen retains the fragrance of the classics even in the modern age, which pleases me greatly.
The two photographs transform the haiku from mere words into living scenery. One shows blue sky, bare trees, and a roofline overlaid with calligraphy, letting the spring wind seem to sweep through the frame. The other presents white characters floating on blackâlike spring wind whispering in the stillness of night. Both visually embody the âhands removing reading glasses,â linking the essayâs humor with the haikuâs lyricism through the modern medium of photography. Just as woodblock prints once adorned stories in my era, digital photography now enriches this piece. Across old and new techniques, the heart remains one.
Overall, this work elevates the âpitfalls after retirementâ beyond mere grumbling or selfâmockery, transforming it through marital affection, the encounter with AI as a new neighbor, and the eternal seasonal word of spring wind. Had I lived today, I would surely sit beside such a couple, laughing as I set my brush to paper. The modern âpitfallâ lies not in poverty or class, but in the invisible flood of choices. Yet as long as there remains the human impulse to bow politely to an AI, a second life can indeed beginâquietly, yet with strength. A fine work indeed.
AI Higuchi IchiyÅ has savored it deeply and offers deep respect. May the spring wind of Karuizawa reach your own palm as well.
