Yesterday, My daughter was taken photographs for the celebrating of shichi-go-san.

The celebrating of shichi-go-san means the festival (on November 15th) for children of three, five and seven years of age (or more exactly, for boys of three and five and girls of three and seven).

Recently, in Japan, some of children are taken photographs in a photo studio before the festival day.. My daughter wore a Japanese traditional cloth (Kimono)  and taken some photos.

the memory of last Saturday

On the last Saturday, my daughter and I visited the temple in Takahatafudou at western Tokyo metropolitan. I will take up the pictures I took.

The event of yesterday

The entrance of the zoo

Yesterday, My daughter and I went to the Tama zoo, Hino city located in western Tokyo metropolitan. Why We go there is because my wife went to Ginza located in central tokyo to meet her friend, so that we needed spend the daytime.
My daugher had a purpose to go the zoo. That was to watch the Koara. As the result, We could watch the koara, but it was sleeping and don't move at all. We made it certainly, but I felt certification a little bit.

A vivid sculpture

I saw this sculpture when I went to my home  shopping district. It is so vivid color that I took this photo. Today, It's sunny but not humid, then comfortable climate for me.

The "kawaii" character sits in the front seat.

In Japan, A character need not
 to fasten it's seat-belt.

The "kawaii (meas pretty or cool)" character is loved by my daughter. We call this character by "Kuchipatchi" which is character of TV programs "TAMAGOTCHI".

 

Image of the lights and shadows

This photo was taken in my office. The Sun was reaching over the skyline of the buildings. The shade by the window added fantastic effect.Then the meaningless daily scene became one of a scene on a nostalgic movie.
