I really get the feeling of people wishing for luck and other people feeling lucky. I wish we had festivals like this in England, but I can't think of anything like this, really. Your pictures are particularly nice, full of life. It looks quite warm, too, and with the bamboo's green leaves, winter seems far away.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501712311386792025.post-64774029948101442132012-01-19T12:27:11.762+09:002012-01-19T12:27:11.762+09:00joanne, sapphire,

Oh You visited the Imamiya Yebisu!! I've never been to the shrine because Nishinomiya Yebisu is much nearer. I love the colorful decorations of tai, sasa, darumas and so on there on its festive days. The vivid colors make me feel happy. 今年は欧州危機や日本もいろいろあって大変ですが、なんとか景気回復してほしいですね。☆sapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444996989089740303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501712311386792025.post-10138016205372559712012-01-19T01:07:58.924+09:002012-01-19T01:07:58.924+09:00cordially greet lovely blog:))cordially greet lovely blog:))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501712311386792025.post-86295337185454174882012-01-18T01:12:48.425+09:002012-01-18T01:12:48.425+09:00This post is beautiful in every way!
