Nikko - 日っ光

 

^日光から帰った！ 一番上のは江戸村でタイムスリップみたいな感じだ。紅葉はすごかった。

徳川家康の東照宮も見に行った。

Just got back from Nikko! We went to Edo Wonderland(though in Japanese its simply called "Edo Village") which is sort of like a "theme park" of Old Tokyo. Tokyo was called Edo up until the Meiji era, where it then undertook a western look and became the new capitol of Japan.

We also went to Tokugawa Ieyasu's grave/shrine who was the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

The autumn leaves everywhere were so many colours. Red, orange, yellow, pretty much the whole spectrum of warm colours. It was so cold but well worth it.

^かよは僕の誕生日のためにこのジャケットを作ってくれた！ありがとう。すごく上手になった。

Kayo made this for my birthday earlier this month. THANKS SO MUCH! She's gotten so much better at making clothing.

Nasu - 那須

かよの友達と一緒に那須に行った。那須はいい場所だね。高いビルがないし、一面緑です。クモはちょっとすごかったけど！風景を描きたかったから、もっと長い滞在したら良かった。一泊だけど。かよの友達も絵を描けるから、次回スケッチしよう！

We stayed one night in Nasu(closest hut in the 2nd panorama) with Kayo's friend and her boyfriend. Its such a relaxing place, no tall buildings and all green. The spiders caught me off guard though! I wish we could have stayed longer cause I wanted to draw some of what I was seeing. Kayo’s buddies also do art too so next time I hope we can kick some lines!

ホットケーキドリンクの味はどうかな～。ホットケーキが大好きだけど、自信がなかったから、飲んでみなかった。次回ね...
Pancake flavored milk! I love pancakes but I was a little hesitant on trying it. Next time I'll definitely give it a try!

下記の写真は先月高尾山で取った写真です。そこで歩いたら、Ghibiliって感じだったので、楽しかった。最近家でフリーランスしているから、あまり出かけてない。
The bottom pictures are from Mt. Takao in Tokyo last month. Walking around there was like being in a Ghibili movie! I've been at home working so I havent been out much.
