Les Kiriki, Japanese acrobats of 1907



An old jewel of cinema.
It was filmed in 1907 with "incredible" special effects and with the participation of "daredevil" acrobats.
Enjoy please.

Lost objects. Wasure mono.

We have so many things... Sometimes we lose or forget them.


Usually small things unimportant

Sometimes we want just forget them and continue our journey.

Things we bought with such enthusiasm...

That made us so happy...

Big things.

abandoned bus higashikagura


Even great things.

But finally,
we are all made of things that will take the wind.

Hill Country



 Cycling the Rolling Hills of Biei







Nominated one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Japan"

The "Family Tree"  (can you see the Papa tree, Mama tree, and Baby tree?)







Beef? Milk?

Grazing sheep




A new way to cut grass?


Leave it to this little guy!







Rectification

This is not the work of a collector.



But of a craftsman.

We will continue reporting.

In his habitat almost everything is white.
