It is a five-story pagoda located on Mount Haguro, Yamagata Prefecture. The towers towering over the snowy scenery all around are a piece that closes the winter scenery.

Shot at a rare time when it snowed in the local area. I felt that the harmony of Autumn leaves and snow was very beautiful.

The 22nd Lively Senior Isehara Festival 2025 On Saturday, January 25, the Isehara Lifelong Learning Volunteer Association and the Isehara Tourism Volunteer Guide & Walk Association co-hosted the event at the Central Community Center. This year’s festival proved to be a lively day where children through seniors could mingle and enjoy activities across generations. The Sanno Junior High School brass band’s selections—“Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana,” “Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyugeshiki,” and “Matsuken Samba” among them—sent the crowd into a roar and filled the venue with warm smiles! The energetic rec dance by the Smile Club, a passionate kodan (traditional storytelling) performance of “Ota Dokan” by Kotosei Takarai, a bold martial demonstration by the Isehara Handmade Armor Corps, and songs by local singer Keiko Ogura were all well received and contributed to the lively atmosphere! Building on the 22nd festival and continuing enjoyable events helps release feel-good hormones, bringing energy and vitality to everyone! For Isehara’s further development and to support the realization of an NHK Taiga drama about the Sengoku warlord Ota Dokan, we ask for your cooperation starting with a signature campaign. Let’s raise the excitement together! We’re also looking forward to the Sanno Junior High School brass band and chorus club’s next regular concert on Saturday, March 15 (Isehara Civic Cultural Center, curtain at 3:00 PM).

The sword is the soul of the samurai; it cannot be sold even if it starves to death. Bushido made the sword a symbol of his power and valor. From an early age, one is taught how to use a sword. He started with a wooden sword, and when he reached the age of 15, he was allowed to carry a serious weapon. At that time, he became aware of his self-respect and sense of responsibility for carrying a dangerous weapon in the street. remember that one step outside the doorway is the world of death. #katana #samuraisword
