fireworks and Inuyama Castle

For the past 34 years there has been an annual fireworks festival near Inuyama Castle (犬山城) in which fireworks are launched from the Kiso River. I had my first chance to witness this event last month.

Godzilla on Shosenkyo

While standing at the feet of Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma last night I recalled seeing Godzilla just last month. Sure enough, a quick look through some of my photos from my visit to Shosenkyo and I found today’s image. By the way, Tokyo is a two-syllable word (some would say four, but it certainly isn’t three).
