Today’s photo comes from the Sadaharu Oh Baseball Museum inside the Fukuoka Dome. This display is of a Japanese home in the late 1970s. It reminds me of many homes I visited in Japan in the 1980s.

Today’s photo comes from near the top of the Shosenkyo Ropeway (昇仙峡ロープウェイ) in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
I believe the bell is meant for lovers. I think they are supposed to strike the bell together, write themselves a note, stick the note in the nearby mailbox, and then a year later the note arrives in their home mailbox.
I had no lover with me on this day so I walked across the way for some shaved ice instead.

Six summers ago I sat in the Buddhist temple I spent the night in, ate breakfast, and gazed at this ceiling.
A Manga Lover’s Tokyo Travel Guide: My Favorite Things to See and Do In Japan
@aniklasson @TuttleBooks @evacomics
A great book for kids or adults heading to Japan for the first time, or who want to reminisce about their time in Tokyo, I read the entire thing on a less-than-two-hour flight this past weekend. The pictures are fun, the facts are accurate, and the suggestions will lead to discoveries (or enjoyable memories) for anyone and everyone.
My daughter (now 21), who lived in Tokyo for a year when she was 11 years old, read much of A Manga Lover’s Tokyo Travel Guide: My Favorite Things to See and Do In Japan when she saw it on the nightstand in our hotel room. When she finished looking at it she exclaimed, “I wish there was a book like this for Ecuador!”. She is heading to Ecuador, for the first time, for a month or so on a study abroad in a couple months.
Nice work, Evangeline Neo!

Today’s photo was taken more than a year after Aoki split Japan for the Major League Baseball in the USA. He’s back in Japan now, playing once again for the Swallows. He played for Waseda University, a few years before I taught there.
