Photographed on January 3, 25. This is a demonstration of the New Year's celebration at Koedo Kurato.

In the afternoon of late 2024, Kyoto's Kinkaku-ji Temple shines golden in the setting sun, and the temple is reflected on the lake, like a quiet and beautiful painting. The breeze blows, the reflection ripples with the waves, the real illusion is indistinguishable, and people are enchanted by the blend of ancient rhyme and time.

Calligraphy has a delicate sense of beauty, and the subtle changes in fine lines, dots, and shading enhance its beauty. There is also an aesthetic sense of stillness, and it is important to keep one's mind quiet and focused when writing. #kangi #calligraphy #kimono #osakacastle

Noodle tea is made by mixing wheat flour or whole wheat flour with crushed or ground sesame seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, and walnuts and roasting them. It's like soybean flour and it's delicious. Taiwanese cuisine is also deep.

I photographed dried moray eels in KushiHonmachi, Wakayama Prefecture, a tradition of the winter season. The dried moray eels are cut into small pieces and fried, and the taste may vary slightly depending on the household, but it is finished in the style of tsukuni. It's perfect for sake, and although you can't imagine it from its appearance, it's delicious. When you come to Kushimoto for sightseeing, be sure to try the taste.

Photographed on January 3, 25. This is a demonstration of the New Year's celebration at Koedo Kurato. It is said that if you have a lion head bite your head, you will be able to spend your time without illness.

This photo was taken when I took a walk to a nearby park. There were many sparrows lined up and it became a healing photo! In addition, the curled up figure with winter hair is cute ♡

It's been a long time since I've posted. This is a photo of me when I went for a morning walk with my second daughter to a nearby shrine. By chance, I saw a figure holding a flower petal as a heart, so I involuntarily pointed the camera at it. Pampas grass becomes an overgrown landscape along the river. I thought this was the winter scenery of Japan, so I took a picture. It's hard to get rid of the fluffy feeling~

Photographed on January 3, 25. At Koedo Kurato, they were giving a demonstration of the New Year's song, so I went to see it. The lion's head is dancing.

[Winter at Aoki Lake and Nakatsuna Lake ❄️✨] On the middle day of a three-day holiday, Omachi City is sunny again today☀️ From the morning the Northern Alps were clearly visible, so I headed to Aoki Lake hoping to see the three Hakuba peaks across the water😊 The lake surface was slightly rippled, but the blue sky and the snow-capped Hakuba peaks were reflected on it🏔✨ At ao LAKESIDE CAFE, which just opened in 2024, you can enjoy meals and coffee time while taking in the lakeside view😌 Next door, Nakatsuna Lake is a spot for wakasagi (pond smelt) ice fishing🎣 In recent years warm winters have prevented the season from opening, but what about this year?
