Today was "boys' day," which is the last day of Golden Week. Technically all children are celebrated on this day. Around the neighborhood, people with sons hang carp windsocks in their yard, one for each son. Boys seem to be highly valued in Japan.
Below, Nitta, Lauri and Sanae join in shopping in Arita over the weekend.
I joined my buddies for a final day of shopping --- today at Hasami -- a GIANT tent city filled with china made locally. I didn't really have any expectations, but wow, what a sight! Ended up with a few more tea cups and a pot, ice cream bowls, planter and an eyeglass stand for Greg (who's forever asking me "have you seen my glasses?). Cora was very tolerant of being in the stroller all day... I think we have another shopper in the family!
