If I'm correct, the names of people donated money to a temple are written on it.

That is a sign of honour, isn't it?

Yes that's right, oh now I remember there's also my grandfather's name on the other statue!

Really? It is wonderful

He was a pious Buddhist, so he often used to make an offering to this temple - after his death, now my father is donating it

That's good
And does your father look like your grandfather?
Don't know why, but I remembered him when you told about your grandpa.

Come to think of it, that's true!
My aunt often tells me that my father shows an increasing resemblance to my grandfather these days
Especially when he sports a pair of glasses, he's becoming like his father.

There is another one about this - от осинки не родятся апельсинки
Sooner or later you find your faminly features in yourself.

Sounds interesting
Even in Japan, we have the similar one - "Son of a frog is a frog"
But there's an opposite proverb, "A black kite father has got a hawk son".

Ah, that is it!
As for the second one I think the same sense has this proverb:
Из грязи в князи.

Oh I remember another proverb when I hear it - "A horse appears from a gourd"
Well, people in the olden days used to say something incredible like that...

I think, our everyday language became poor after inventing TV and internet...
I like to discover different proverbs and thoughts of people who lived centuries ago.

Now Russian people learning Japanese are increasing, I heard.
Even on dA, we can see them - and thankfully also you're going to join them
And I'm learning some Russian apologues - most of Japanese children know the story "Иван-дурак" too.
Reading the books is the most important for children - as well, lately there are some people who can't write kanji in Japan. That's awful.
That's nice, me too

It is so - even my sister tries to learn by heart some phrases
They all begin from watching anime
I found some places where it is taught.
Иван-дурак sounds like Ivan who is fool
he has a different type of thinking. And this way of thinking helps
him in difficult situations
Agree to you - reading books is important in every age

That's very nice
As for learning Japanese, anime could be a great teacher
One Russian girl said "Ganbatte!" in a corrected assignment of Busuu
I tried to write "I like hamsters. I had a hamster" in Russian - "Мне нравится хомяков. У меня был хомяк" but grammar of this was wrong.
Another person also corrected it like this - "Мне нравится хомяк." или "Мне нравятся хомяки." Now I understand it
When I was a child, I didn't know exactly what that story means, but later I found that it had a philosophical aspect.
Sometimes seems that it's hard for people to do a good thing without repayments, but he always can - that's precious, I think
I was not able to be an author, but by reading I may be a flexible thinker

He-he, we should be flexible thinkers as you asy, if we like to live a good life
А наш хомяк бегает по клетке, забирается на передних лапах на потолок.
Он такой смешной - маленькие лапки и толстое пузо, как пуховый комок
на ножках.
You are right, I also learned some phrases by ear from anime. Seems it is the most
pleasant way of learning
