I know this is a random question, but my Japanese is pretty awful, so can anyone else tell me what this says? I ran into it at Arashiyama near the entrance to the monkey park, so I’m assuming it has something to do with that. But what are the two firework looking things? Sorry, but I keep imagining all sorts of responses 😛

The Crowd

This group of guys were particularly enjoying the Magician’s performance. They looked like such a fun group of people 🙂 I wanted to join their party!

It’s Magic!

Some Japanese Performers at the Osaka Castle. That was so much fun, and I just kind of stumbled upon it.

Osaka Monument

Posted in Japan, Statues by deceptivelyblonde

Not sure what this monument stood for; but it was really cool to see. Stood right next to the Osaka Castle, and had a bunch of kids standing around doing chants that day. NOt sure why (everyone else thought it was weird too–the Japanese people were giving them a wide berth), but they were hollering chants and what sounded like pig-calling noises (Suey…Suey). You can see two of them at the bottom.
