Last night we went to see Sumida river fireworks festival 2009. It’s the most famous summer festival inTokyo.
Big fireworks like the Galaxy. It’s amazing!!!!!!!!!!
That sounds were very loud. Sounds and lights made me crazy!!!
This event started at 7pm and ended 8:30pm.
The season of fireworks!
Nothing at the riverside ordinary days, but today, some stalls appears
on the street…
People enjoy wait for the evening.
I do wished to show you smileys in the sky, but it become like monsters in my photos! XD Please enjoy your summer days!
Doll Show were held in end of April at Hamamatsucho Tokyo.
SO MANY dolls, their clothes, bags, shoes, belongings, weapons… and more!
I got a pair of sneakers for my Blythe doll. These are looks like human ones!!
I went to Yoyogi Park to enjoy sun & some food again…
and knew by accident that Earth Day Tokyo 2009 was held.
There were many earth friendly food or products. Dishes are not
disposal, products are not too much packaged.
I got a lavender sun screen by NEAL’S YARD REMEDIES :D
Now, sakura (cherry blossoms) blooming in Tokyo,
we can enjoy both of real flowers and many sakura products. :)
the sake cup is limited design, as long as sakura blooming!
Sakuramochi is a variety of wagashi, or Japanese confectionery consisting of a sweet pink mochi (rice cake) and red bean paste, covered with a leaf of sakura (cherry blossom).
You can eat a sweet pink mochi with pickled sakura leaves. It tasts awesome!!
Sakura-mochi is eaten on March 3rd, Girl’s Day. The Japanese Doll’s Festival or Girl’s day (Hina-matsuri), is held on March 3, the third day of the third month. This is a day to pray for young girl’s growth and happiness.
I went to “TORINOICH” in Asakusa. “TORINOICH” is an anual festival held in many places around Tokyo in Nov. And the most famous is this one at Asakusa.
I found Hello-Kitty’s bamboo rake. A special thing on Torinoichi was “Bamboo Rake for good luck”.
A highly decorated bamboo rake was particular popular as goods to bring happiness and prosperity in business. That seemed to be contributed by Hello-Kitty’s company “Sanrio”.
Japan is also in resession time. Many people there prayed thier business success on next year.
