Asahi beer girl (アサヒビールガール)

It’s been almost five years since the last time I posted a photo of a Japanese beer girl, those fine, young ladies with a keg of beer on their back and a smile on their face.

I still need to process another dozen or more photos from Saturday’s rodeo. You can see some more of them here.

I went to my first rodeo yesterday. Now I have over 400 photos to process. Here is the first.

I watched a beautiful film (The Birth of Sake) set in Ishikawa and the Noto Hanto this morning at the Ashland Independent Film Festival. I came home to this random, desktop image from the same general location and felt I should share.
