Kimonos all have a MEANING. Hoomans think cranes live 1000 years. No, my uncle Kaito only lasted 205! Hoomans think clothes made of plants protect against things plants protect them from. So why don't they walk through nettles in a coat made of dock leaves?

Hopper shook paws with Wrex the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
This is a very serious garden called a temple. I don't think I am supposed to sing here, and mother said it is very rude to perch on the railings. Especially if you do what birds do when they perch ...

North-east of Kyoto is a village called Shirakawa, where my uncle Kaito lives. Some of the farmhouses are 250 years old. The roofs are made without nails and withstand heavy snows. Some houses have silkworms in the attic, but Kaito hasn’t been able to get in and eat any!

You liked that view? Just travel two hours north of Kyoto to the Tango-hanto Peninsula. There are onsen (hot springs) and wonder­ful coastal scenery. There are sandy beaches with rocky capes, little farms, forests and mountains, joined by narrow, winding roads.
