Around November
A paper decoration on a small shrine that I walk by everyday on my way home from work.
On that same journey home there is this cat…don’t let that lovable gaze foul you, do you see those fangs? He’s a 'pet me or I’ll rip your leg to shreds' kinds of cute. I’m sure the neighborhood kids get a kick watching me scrambling away from this little cat.
They could only be fresher if they still had the ability to squirm away from your grasp.
Mr. Praying Mantis thinks the fish are still alive, or maybe he just likes the smell of Styrofoam and fish.
As if Tanbara wasn’t already the land of noon-time loud speaker renditions of “It’s a small world” they’ve also decided to serve as the home of a humongous, gigantic, stupendous red metal crane.
My taiko team playing in the morning at a local farmers market which is being held under the shadow of the humongous, gigantic, stupendous red metal crane.
Almost every time I take a new street in Tanbara I find another small shrine or temple.
Dare I say this wanted poster is cute? The wood patterned background and the strange and slightly to-small silhouetted-bodies just doesn’t come off as menacing.
Students mesmerized by their fellow student’s performances. The school festival was last weekend and truly a fun time. The students were so supportive of each other, even clapping and singing along during some performances.
Did I mention the performance were mesmerizing for a good reason? They were good, amazing in fact for middle schoolers. We even had teachers going up on stage to perform. The music teacher, as it turns out, can belt out opera good enough to make me stop breathing.
Dinner at the Asahi Beer Factory. All you can eat and drink for 2 hours. Cooking is done small grills implanted in the tables.
My ice cream came with Wheaties?! Wha?
And this is what happens when I spend to much time pondering the toppings of my ice cream and to little time paying attention to my grilling duties.
