Randoseru: Japanese Elementary Children's School Bag

Randoseru: Japanese Elementary Children's School Bag
A randoseru (ランドセル) is a firm-sided backpack made of stitched firm leather or leather-like synthetic material, most commonly used in Japan by elementary schoolchildren. Traditionally it is given to a child upon beginning his or her first year of school. The term is a borrowed word from the Dutch "ransel" meaning "backpack", a clue to its origins nearly 200 years ago as used in the Netherlands. (From Wikipedia)

Japanese House Tour

Japanese House Tour

A look around a very typical house in Japan built in the 1980s. We lived in this house for 5 years. It was very cool in the summer but very cold in the winter which lead us to move out into a much newer house.

Japanese Culture - Bean Throwing Festival

Japanese Culture - Bean Throwing Festival - 節分日本



Setsubun (節分, Bean-Throwing Festival or Bean-Throwing Ceremony) is the day before the beginning of Spring in Japan. The name literally means "seasonal division", but usually the term refers to the Spring Setsubun, properly called Risshun (立春) celebrated yearly on February 3 as part of the Spring Festival (春祭 haru matsuri). In its association with the Lunar New Year, Spring Setsubun can be and was previously thought of as a sort of New Year's Eve, and so was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirits for the year to come. This special ritual is called mamemaki (豆撒き) (literally "bean throwing"). Wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setsubun

So this looks like your average vending machine right? Well this one is a little different in that is sells the normal snacks that you can buy at the convenience store or supermarkets.

鯉のぼり - Koinobori - Carp Streamer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz2EnpBQvSI

Koinobori (鯉幟), meaning "carp streamer" in Japanese, are carp-shaped wind socks traditionally flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no Sekku (端午の節句), a traditional calendrical event which is now designated a national holiday; Children's Day. These wind socks are made by drawing carp patterns on paper, cloth or other nonwoven fabric. They are then allowed to flutter in the wind. They are also known as satsuki-nobori (皐幟).
Children's Day takes place on May 5. Landscapes across Japan are decorated with koinobori from April to early May, in honor of sons and in the hope that they will grow up healthy and strong.

浜松まつりの特徴のひとつは、「都市まつり」ということ。東京の天下祭りや京都の祇園祭と違って、神社仏閣の祭礼とは関係ない"市民参加"のまつりなのです。

昭和28年頃までは、「龍」の字は白抜きであったが、28年以降は、「龍」の字を赤一色に定め、現在に至っている。

Amazing Drinks Vending Machine - Japan
So if you have been to Tokyo (Japan) recently then you would have noticed these automatic touch panel drinking machines. They are so cool. They have a camera to tell whether the person using it is a male or a female,talk or short and will recommend drinks for that person. You don't need coins or notes if you have a cell phone as it will take both.
Anyway have a look for yourself and see how cool it is.

ひな祭り - Hinamatsuri - Putting the Dolls out Montage

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp1YncSm0zE


Us putting up the girls Hina Dolls for the Hinamatsuri.  It took us over an hour to do. The girls love their dolls and go into the room every day to say hello to the dolls.

The Japanese Doll Festival (雛祭り Hina-matsuri), or Girls' Day, is held on March 3. Usually platforms covered with a red carpet are used to display a set of ornamental dolls (雛人形 hina-ningyō) representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period. Of course there are many different times of dolls which you can see in this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrvpGuvXSiA

Taiyaki - たい焼き & Takoyaki - たこ焼き - Life in Japan
Taiyaki - たい焼き is a Japanese fish-shaped cake. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans. Other common fillings may be custard, chocolate, or cheese.
たい焼き（鯛焼き、たいやき、タイヤキ）は、鯛の焼き型に入れて焼いた、餡（あん）入りで小麦粉主体の和菓子である。明治時代から食べられている日本の菓子の一つ[1]だが、20世紀末期以降は餡に替えて別の食材を詰めたものも見られる。

Takoyaki - たこ焼きis a ball-shaped Japanese snack made of a wheat flour-based batter and cooked in a special takoyaki pan. It is typically filled with minced or diced octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion. Takoyaki are brushed with takoyaki sauce, a sauce similar to Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise. The takoyaki is then sprinkled with green laver (aonori) and shavings of dried bonito (katsuobushi).
たこ焼き（たこ焼、蛸焼、たこやき）は、日本生まれの粉物料理の一種。小麦粉の生地の中にタコ（主としてマダコかミズダコ）を入れて直径 3-5cm ほどの球形に焼き上げた、大阪発祥とされる料理である。

消防車 袋井市消防団 - Fire Truck (3)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb3mHC7km0k


This video of a Japanese fire truck was taken at the local Emergency Drill practice day.
The sound the fire truck makes is different to the normal sound it would make when it is going to a fire. This is the sound it makes when it is going around the community.  They often drive around just to let people know to be careful of fire.

The Rugby 7's is coming back to Tokyo

Well this is great news for rugby and Japan. It has been awhile since I have been to see 7's rugby and so when they announced that it would be coming back to Japan I was over the moon. I watch every tournament on the Telly, ie computer here in Japan so to have the chance to go and see some of my heroes of 7's rugby is a chance one can't miss.
If anyone is interested in the Tokyo 7's rugby tournament then check out the official homepage.

Hope to see you there.

Minami Minegishi Apologizes for Boyfriend 峯岸みなみからのメッセージ - News from Japan

This is over a week old now but still interesting.  The news about this young girl (20) from the popular girls group, AKB48 and what she has done has been all over the news in Japan and she even made an apology video on YouTube which got millions of views from all around the world. Well now people are discussing whether this is crazy gender equality or just drama to sell more records. I am not one for drama but it is interesting to read different peoples' reactions from both here in Japan and overseas.

From The Japan Times
AKB48 member’s ‘penance’ shows flaws in idol culture.

AKB48 member’s ‘penance’ shows flaws in idol culture | The Japan Times

The image of a young girl in front of a camera, her head recently shaved, sobbing into the lens is one that’s guaranteed to shock. But when that girl is a key member of idol group AKB48, the reaction is bound to be stronger. . . . . 


****update. Minami Minegishi’s apology video on YouTube has been made private  reportedly due to requests from her fans.

Also here is a well known YouTuber living in Japan with his views on it and Japan culture.

I thought this was a joke when I first saw it and also thought it was quite old but it turns out that it just happen recently.

Quote from the source
When a guy claiming he's Jesus tries to kill a PG&E worker because he's black, then begins beating up a woman that was trying to help, it takes hitchhiker, Kai, and his hatchet, to put a stop to the psycho. Here's Jessob Reisbeck & Terry Woods' story that 1st aired on KMPH FOX 26 in Fresno, CA, Friday, February 1st.

Well the weekend has gone. It was a good one. Went to Numazu to see some ALTs that are leaving JET and who have helped me a lot with JET projects.
Saturday had a Takoyaki/ yakiniku party at my place. My wife bought a new hotplate and wanted to break it in. It went well. In the evening I watched the All Blacks V South Africa. We won but it was a very tight game and could have gone either way at the start but the ABs started to look much stronger in the second half and did let the Boks come back at them.
Sunday played cricket. Got 67 or something runs. Should've got a hundred but was given out LBW for the 3rd time this year. god cant anyone get it right. like the other 2 i could see where i was standing and where the ball came from and was going to and there is no way that i should've been given out. but once the umpire gives you out you are out. It was really easy too and thougth i could've got a really big score that day. Bowled like shit but i was tired from batting in 29degrees for 2 hours. Plus i hadn't bowled in over a month so i guess i can't complain. go one wicket though.
now today i am sore all over and this is one of the main reasons why i can't really be bothered to play anymore.
