Smoking manners

In Tokyo, smoking while walking is forbidden mostly in all the cities.

Since smoking area is near a station, a smoker is seldom troubled.


I am a smoker too,

I think  smokers in japan are good-mannered but excellent.

Bon festival dance(Bon odori)

Bon festival dances  are an event for holding a memorial service for the dead at the time of a tray, and a dance performed within the event.

The Bon festival dance convention of the annual town association was held, and my wife also
danced last night.






















Many leading as accompaniment music of a Bon festival dance is played. 

There is also a place danced by the traditional raw drum, the raw samisen, and a raw leader. 
An electric bass and a rhythm box may be used instead of a samisen. 


Traditionally, although the method of a drum, leader, and dancer on a tower wear a yukata in many cases, casual everyday clothes may be satisfactory for a general participant. 

When a dancer is the same group, a uniform yukata is worn in many cases. 

Moreover, in the case of a woman, a fan may be inserted in the belt of the back. 
A male may wear a headband, and may hang and dance a pillbox on the waist. 


A Bon festival dance is held in the precincts of a temple and the temple of a shrine, and a park, and a night stall comes out of it on the outskirts in many cases. 

Since the school became the summer vacation from yesterday, many children had gathered. 

The fast food of easy Japan, such as chipped ice, octopus dumplings, and yakitori, is sold at a night stall, and scooping goldfish and a game called yoyo fishing are also made at it. 




It is the "chocolate banana stall " of Hello Kitty which caught my eye last evening. 


A Bon festival dance is a true symbol  in autumn  from  summer in any areas in Japan !!

Ojizosan

昨日は、近所の「薬王院」に行ってきた。

お地蔵さんが、とてもよかった。

Ojizosan
Ojizosan is supposed that it was named from the place which wraps people of suffering in the heart of the infinite large mercy and from which it saves them so that the power in which the ground cherishes all the lives may be harbored.


Generally it is believed as "a child's guardian deity", and the sweets with which a child is often pleased are offered.

先日、明治神宮に参拝してきた。

北参道は、静寂に包まれていた。

代々木に抜ける北参道
神官の方だろう。大鳥居を抜けると‥

禰宜さんと呼ぶのが正解?
注連縄に熱心に祈りをささげる方がいる。

しめ縄はおごそかであった
絵馬には、皆の願いが詰まってる。
