Do you believe in Magic?

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

I believe in magic. Maybe, you think that I’m a child and you don’t believe in magic. Of course, I don’t think we are able to fly on blooms and change our shape and other things like fantasy fiction. I say “magic” is like a miracle, charm, invisible power and so on. Among you, is there not some favorite music you listen to everyday? Is there not something you were impressed by? Didn’t you fall in love with someone at first sight? Then you were bewitched. And you succeeded in doing an impossible thing when magic acts. So I think that something goes well through magic.

Hakata DONTAKU

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Do you know “Dontaku”?

Dontaku is one of the famous festivals in Japan. It takes place in Hakata ward of Fukuoka prefecture. It is held for Golden week every year.

Dontaku is originally from “Zontag”. “Zontag” means holiday in Dutch.

Many cultures gather (Okinawa, Awa and so on) in Dontaku, and there are a lot of events. We can enjoy dancing and wearing a special custom and seeing flower decorated cars. Some are playing the shamisen or beating drums, others clapping wooden spoons for scoping rice.

We can see many people there. Two and million half people came to Dontaku this year.

People believe that we had a lot of rain on Dontaku, but it was sunny this year.

Are you interested in Dontaku?

See you…
