Wooden House

One of my friends has been taking Kimono lessons,
so I visited her place to learn how to wear it a couple days ago.


It's a beautiful suburban house uses a lot of Japanese cypress.

It's on the hill, so you can look down those houses from the window.
Also the opposite side is a Shrine, so you can see a sacred tree from the living room.

How gorgeous is that.

着付けを教えてもらいに友達のお家にお邪魔してきました。

檜をふんだんに取り入れ
た郊外にある素敵なお宅でした

丘の上にあるので窓からは家々が眺められ、
反対側は神社なのでリビングからご神木が拝見できます。


うらやましくなるようなお住まいでした。

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Lost in Translation

There are frequent questions for foreigners who visit in Japan such as 'Can you use chopsticks?' or 'Do you eat Natto ?'. And relatively one of the latest might be 'Have you ever watched Lost in Translation?'. And interesting thing is that people who are familiar with Japan well or live in this country for a long time didn't really like that movie. (Including me) I was asked by my friend why, I replied that Sofia Coppola emphasized strange things of Japanese a little bit too much. The Japanese hooker didn't have to be that old woman with such degrading English. The director must have intended it to compare to the heroine who was young and a white beautiful girl. By the way, I and my other friend went to the bar at Park Hyatto in Shinjyku to experience Lost In Translation in last January. The hotel was splendid. All these three picture were being taken by her camera.
