Tsukiji 築地

Last Friday I visited Tsukiji in Tokyo.
I went to the sushi restaurant.  I came from western japan. Sometimes I can't accept foods in Tokyo.
But sushi is not......... It's my favorite food.

Kaiko no Yashiro 蚕ノ社 in Kyoto

This is the three leg's torii.  the shrine is one of the oldest in kyoto. now noone knows why it has three legs. usually it's only two. some scholars say it's the Trinity of Nestorianism.  I had lived near the shrine.

Hand-made tea

i take a course for how to make tea by hand in museum.

so this is the important to learn by hand if you want to know tea.
