Japan here and there: Nagoya #2, Tanba, Wadayama
Last week was spent going around to different places to conduct my interviews: Suita, Wadayama, Tanba, and Nagoya (2nd time). I only have 2 more interviews scheduled, one in Gotemba (near Mt. Fuji) and one in Niimi in Okayama prefecture. I'm wondering if this is actually going to give me enough data to write a master's thesis?!?! Lets hope so...
Bamboo forest in a park in Nagoya
Finding cool red mushrooms in the park! Apparently you can eat them...
Eating delicious Japanese food in Tanba, the ingredients they use at this restaurant are supposed to have medicinal properties (in other words, its super healthy ;) )
Hime-firefly rice crackers!
Part of Tanba, a bit in the country :)
Wadayama, even more in the country! Lots of rice paddies and mountains
Shinto shrine in Wadayama (around 350 yrs old!)
There's apparently tons of Hime-fireflies that live in the woods around it
Entrance to the shrine
Working the rice fields in black and white...
and in sepia. By the way, Heike-fireflies especially like rice fields b/c they are a wetland/marsh species
Must... get.... farm....
