One day in Yamagata....

I often forget about how lucky I am to be living in such a beautiful country. Although I'm stuck in the northern hickish slightly-off part of Japan, we can run away to volcanic crater lakes and temples nestled in the mountains for the weekend. Like, woah! If I've learned anything since coming to Japan..it's this: do and see as many things as possible. I refuse to sit on my ass and waste my days away! NO REGRETS!

A compilation of all the short videos we took in Japan. My personal fave....the translation of Full House. I think it's your best work, Lisa.

Japanese bananas for bananas

Summer is finally here! While I’m not a fan of the 6 months of bitter winter cold, it makes the next 4 or so months of summer all the more joyous. People start to come out from hibernation, flowers are in bloom, beach parties and BBQs all make for an amazing summer in Japan. But this season also marks the beginning of one of the most quintessentially Japanese crazes I’ve yet to experience…the price of fruits. People here are willing to throw down 100 bones for a watermelon. Peaches for $5, cherries for $10…the madness!
But rather than being able to buy any fruit at the lowest price possible, you really start to appreciate produce through the seasons. Persimmons in fall, oranges in winter, cherries in summer and apples in spring!

The controversy, the dance, the glove, the allegations, the music.....THE MAN.

オオカミとブタ。Stop motion with wolf and pig.

Stop motion animation from Japan. It's amazing. It can't believe how long this must have taken them to make this! My new favourtie at the moment!
