YATAI...Japanese street stall

The season of summer festival is coming!! These photos were taken in spring, the season of cherry blossoms. However we also have a lot of street stalls in summer festivals. Many kind of nice smell float there! These smells attract me.

You can see many stalls!!

Goldfish scooping!! When I was younger, I loved to scoop goldfish and kept them.

RINGO AME is apple covered with candy. Its too big! How can I eat !? There are strawberry, orange and grapes AME.

In my home town Tokushima, we have GOKUROU MATURI in June. It means thanks working festival!!haha We enjoy watching dance and eating some nice food! Its very fun!!! In August, we have a big and famous festival AWA ODORI!!!! It is the biggest event in Tokushima. If you have no plan in this summer, why don't you come to Tokushima to see Awa dance?

Astroboy...ATOM!!

Do you know Osamu Teduka? He is one of the famous Manga artist in Japan. Many characters have been produced by him like Atom, Black Jack, The fire bird and The emperor of jungle Leo.I went to the Osamu's place...Teduka Osamu memorial hall. I could see his histrical products and histry. It was so interesting!! It has passed 80 years from Osamu's birth.

This is the handprint of Atom!!! The main caracter of "Astroboy."

MANGA!! Black Jack!!
He is a medical doctor of genius but he does NOT have a medical license...haha

This is the Black Jack written in French.

The great manga artist Osamu.

Do you know he was the medical school student?

My dear Atom...haha
He is strong, kind, young and ...robot!!

I wonder how old Atom is!!

I could read almost all the manga of Osamu in another countries' language in this memorial hall. If you are interested in Japanese Manga, I recommend you going there!! You can see the Kamishibai, the storytelling with pictures, if you are lucky!!
