Nice weather

A shot at small park on the park ave. in Tsukuba.

Portrait in Makabe

Actually, I took this photo last year. Though she does not move at all,

it is difficult to find the positon to make her attractive in photo.

By the window

Poster

It says "It is good to be a Japanese". I like it.

I found it at one of the shrines at Makabe when I visited there last weekend.

Food association

It says "Membership of Ibaraki pref. food association".

I wonder if it is still valid or old membership.

No finder

A shot at Makabe yesterday. I took this photo without seeing finder. Lovely dolls!

Long time no see...

Long time no see! It's been a month since I posted photo last time.

I went to Makabe town, where 20miles north from Tsukuba city, for Hinamatsuri event.

It was exactly one year ago when I came here last time. 

Unfortunately, some of the old buildings were damaged by earthquake happened last Mar.

Finally, we've back to our office after Mar 11 earthquake.

It's been already 8 months and glad to be back, start work at newly renovated office.

The photo above is the open meeting area. We are expected to have lots of collaboration.

It was really good experience for me. Next event will be held on Nov. 20th.
