Things I’ve seen this fall

It has started to feel like winter so I think that I am far overdue on letting you see some of the sights from fall here in Japan. I hope you enjoy. Just click on any picture for a bigger view.

A well-earned snack after dancing up a storm.

Playing with the adults.

You can buy this bag at our local 7/11

These are the nets that the seaweed for your sushi rolls grows on…in the ocean of course.

Three hours of threshing by hand with a big wooden mallet and this us what you get.

Up close and personal with soy beans

The remains of the soy bean plants Satomi’s mother and I threshed

Street dancing Japan-style

Mud skippers. Kind of cute, aren’t they?

This is the new-fangled way to spray the rice fields and kill those pesky bugs.

I don’t know what kind of flowers they are but they were pretty.

Persimmons in our yard

  There is definitely a unique quality to some of the Japanese-English floating around here. I get a special happiness from it. There is/was a website http://www.engrish.com that has lots of great examples (or used to. I haven’t looked at it in years). Thanks for checking in.
