Awa Odori Exhibition, 10-30-2012

I stopped at the Awa Odori Kaikan on my way home yesterday and in addition to a calligrahpy exhibition this is what I found.

 

A picture of the circular river, all the bridges - some for cars, some for pedestrians, and

Awa Odori dancers.

 

                                      
                                       Incredible origami Awa Odori dancers.

                                             Historic Awa Odori photos.

                                Hand painted/drawn pictures, postcards, fans, posters.

My favorite Japanese character (and there are thousands!), and symbol of  Tokushima                                                            Sudachi-kun.

My new blog, 10-29-2012

 

Well I had to start a new blog because something has happened to my old one and I can't figure out how to reach a person for help!  Unfortunately all of the slideshows (moving pictures) have disappeared!  The stationary pictures and the writing are still there... but the posting page has gone funny too.  The buttons are either misaligned or squashed and unreadable.  If anyone who knows anything about blogs, or computers, knows how to fix the problem please tell me!  It was so much work to add all those pictures I would hate to lose them.

 

But here I am on a new site, and I'll have to figure out the ins and outs so please excuse me as I get used to it.  Since it is long past the cherry blossom (sakura) season, and the beginning of the persimmon (kaki) season, I decided to use this picture for my first post.  (The name of the blog is cherry blossoms and persimmons after all.)

 

Since I don't have anything left to say, as I just posted my last two posts on the former site, this is it for today.  If you would like to subscribe and be notified when I post a new blog please go to the bottom of this page and press the 'subscribe by email' button.  See you soon!
