I took a picture of Nagasaki-kunchi held in Nagasaki City at a venue called Ryokusho. I took this photo because I wanted to be able to feel the power I felt with my eyes in the photo.

The only souvenir that can make you feel "Japanese". 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 the mind quiet and focused when writing. It is also essentially about basic manners, such as sitting upright, keeping a straight back and holding the brush upright. The fan, which is still familiar to Japanese people as a tool that appears at milestones in life, and calligraphy on hanging scrolls, which are traditional Japanese works of art, are very popular among foreigners, as they are decorated in an appropriate manner and can be displayed in tokonoma (alcove) and other places. #kakejiku #kanji #wabisabi #snuvenir

Samurai Calligraphy Resignation is the last character to be written in this world in preparation for death. Calligraphy is a beautiful part of Japanese culture, but before you experience it, imagine it. Before you experience it, imagine that you are about to say goodbye to this world. You will be dressed in kimono or hakama like a samurai. #kanji #Calligraphy#performance

This is Momo Minamoto Township! It was started by the people of the Kine district to liven up the area, and now as many as 2,000 weeping peaches are blooming. In the center, a pond and a weeping peach is projected, and those who visit it Gari a voice of admiration. The best time to visit seems to be mid-April next year.

Exploring Japan goes beyond just stunning landscapes; it’s a journey steeped in rich traditions. Experiencing traditional Japanese style tea ceremony and making Wagashi with friends in Kimono or Yukata is just a wonderful experience which I will remember my whole life. This is the other side of cool Japan beyond the Natural beauty and mouth watering food. We enjoyed it in Asakusa area of Tokyo.
