I was walking down the street yesterday and saw this poster and couldn't help but laugh because I was so surprised to see something like it. I'd assumed that crossbows were already illegal since I never saw them anywhere but it seems I was wrong. Not that I was planning on buying one any time soon lol. In America, I'd hunted using bows and rifles but that was quite a while ago. Most people always practiced their shooting at ranges specifically built for archery but I suppose I've never seen or heard of that in Japan now that I think about it. But the hunting culture in Japan is certainly quite different than that of my home country. It's interesting to see the differences between things like this.

I took this photo when I went to Hokkaido for the first time before Corona. I remember at Asahiyama Zoo in December, the snow was flickering and it was cold anyway. At that time, I had just started using cameras, and because I didn't bring gloves, it was difficult for my hands to gnaw and release the shutter. I took pictures of various animals in the park, especially in such a cold and dignified and cool! It was this panther that I thought. At this time, I had just started developing, and as a result of trying various things, my eyes turned blue lol. I've only been to Hokkaido once, so I'm definitely going to go when Corona is over.

What a cool looking lizard, that blue tail is really something else. Kenroku-en is a garden that I really want to visit specifically because it has so much awesome natural scenery. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've actually seen any lizards or geckos in Japan... I haven't exactly been looking for them as much as I would have when I was a kid but I really should try to keep my eye out for some of the smaller creatures to be found in Japan. I've seen a serow really close before and thankfully haven't run into any bears while in Japan but I'd definitely like to see more wildlife as it's quite different than the wildlife where I'm from. On a side note I learned a new phrase in Japanese recently that has to do with lizards - トカゲの尻尾切り - apparently it means to evade blame by pinning it on a subordinate and abandoning them. Thought that was pretty funny lol

This photo was taken at Kenrokuen Garden.
When I was walking and looked down, there was a lizard, so I approached slowly and snapped.
The moment I was able to take this picture, I was glad I came to Ishikawa Prefecture!

When Corona subsides, I want to travel to various places again.

With the theme of winter, I wondered what I could shoot in the Kanto region, where it doesn't snow, and the first thing that came to mind was birds. When I was looking for winter birds in the Japan, there was a bird called "Tsugumi", so I took a picture of it singing. By the way, the most important thing I tried to do in this shoot was to stand at the same level as the birds. I thought that by standing on the same line of sight, I could see the scenery as "Tsugumi" sees.
