Hyogo Prefecture Awaji City Awaji Yumebutai When I came here, I got lost like a maze, and when I came to the top floor, I was surprised 😯 by the scale and futurism

Katsuoji Temple / Minoh Katsuoji Temple, which is famous for its "Victory Daruma", was even more crowded with tourists as the autumn foliage season began. This is one of the photos I took at Katsuoji. This is the most confident photo I took on my first outing in a long time! By the way, Katsuoji Temple is crowded with tourists around noon, so considering the cold, I think it's just right to arrive around 2 o'clock in the afternoon!

I traveled to Tsugaru. It is a rice field art that I happened to encounter in Nakadate Village near Hirosaki. This year's theme is "The Fence of Monse" by Shiko Munakata and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer. It was splendid under the autumn sky of Tsugaru.

It rained a lot the other day. When I went to Tokyo for the event and came back, the river directly behind me was flooded to the road, and I was impatient. I CAME UP TO 1 CM TO THE WORKSHOP FLOOR, AND I GAVE UP, BUT SOMEHOW I WAS SAFE. The smell hasn't gone away yet, but... I'll have to be careful from next year! This time, the picture is cranes and rain It was in the early days when I started using this expression. It will still grow

Autumn colors of Enichiji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture The ginkgo trees and autumn leaves were 😀 beautiful.

Tokyo's Kanda Mansei Bridge is a new scenic spot with a strong atmosphere of literature and art. The narrow space under the station has been cleverly transformed into a world suitable for exploration. Here, you can drink coffee and watch the scenery by the river in a daze.

This is the wall art from the last Design Festa It's quite different from what we originally planned. My face was hitting a cut in the paper, so I avoided it, but it was bigger than planned. I was drawing with ad-libs If you look at it blankly, you can accidentally see the face of a dragon. If you try to draw a flower, you can see a bird.　 Drawing what you see on the spot in time is interesting because it is unique to events. We will also participate in the Design Festa in November with wall art. If you have time, please come and see it. The more you do it in front of people, the more you grow, and if there are limits, you think about breaking them. That's the biggest growth, isn't it?

A five-minute walk from the school, at Gallery Ichou no Ki, the popular SNS sensation Benten-sha Book Fair is holding a solo exhibition. I had a strange experience unlike anything before, and it was really interesting✨ The show runs until August 27th, so if you're interested, do go and see it😊 More and more students at the Japanese language school are becoming curious about things from Japan they saw on SNS! Their unique perspectives as international students are fascinating. Once I gather enough material, I'll introduce it here someday!

It's been extremely hot this summer. Just a little exercise outside made me dehydrated and dangerous. Slowly the pain and laziness rushed in, and I really have nothing but regrets. Please be careful It's the season when the rice paddies are overgrown and you can often see insects and birds. Sometimes when I see a bird up close, I think it's bigger. You can feel happiness from the norm

Eiheiji / Fukui Eiheji-Temple / Fukui Umbrella Matsukaku. Also known as the "Great Hall of Ceiling Painting".

Inuyama Castle is a national treasure and has the oldest surviving castle tower in Japan. In Inuyama, the Japan Line Long Run fireworks is held every summer, and you can see the competition between this Inuyama Castle and the fireworks.

I went to Hida Takayama for the first time last year hand-held fireworks. A hand-held fireworks is launched in the hope of getting rid of evil. The heroic appearance of the fireworks master who launches his hand-held fireworks while bathed in sparks is always cool to see.

Summer is all about fireworks I first saw it in Tatebayashi a few years ago hand-held fireworks I was captivated by this brave figure.
