Senbazuru
In the mid-1950s, 11-year old Sasaki Sadako developed leukemia as a result of her exposure to radiation as a baby during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Tradition held that if you made a senbazuru (a thousand paper cranes) and made a wish after completing each one, your wish would come true. Sadako set about making the tsuru, wishing for her own recovery. But as she continued, she began to wish instead for world peace. She died when she had made only 644 and her school friends completed the full number and dedicated them to her at her funeral. The story helped inspire the Children's Peace Memorial in Hiroshima and a statue of Sadako in Seattle. Each year on Peace Day (August 6th), thousands of origami tsuru are sent to Hiroshima by chidren all over the world.

Fall in Minoh
This is a temple on the top of the mountain of the national park in Minoh. This is one of the favorite destinations for hiking during autumn. The place is better known for the waterfall and for the monkeys that live in the mountains.

Tenjin's Last Boat
This was taken from a bridge during the Tenjin Matsuri, a summer boat parade that happens near Midosuji, Osaka. I like the reflex of the lights in the river. The parade had already almost finished when I took this picture, but I am actually not sure if that was really the last boat.
