Koi nobori

The road from Nagano station to Zenkoji temple was half closed off and the closed lanes were decorated with flower pictures. Some were pots of different coloured flowers and others were piles of brightly coloured flower petals, stones, and evergreen branches. All of the families stopped by the cutesy bear to pose their kids for photos, but I got excited over a different one...

    2. Grin. You already won the competition a few posts back, with that first photo of the koinobori against the river and the snowy mountains! That one remains my favourite! ^^

    1. There used to be a photo of the two of us (from the back) as the banner for the blog, but it disappeared when I changed the layout. I think there is a photo of me in my graduation hakama a few years back and one of U somewhere with the mitts and scarf I knit for him (he's covering his face tho).

      He's a bit shy so that is all that is up... You'll just have to come to Tokyo and meet us for yourself! ;)
