Sticks and things

A few images from around town. Above is Shoko, an elementary school teacher and friend of mine.

This is a sea serpent that washed up on the river bank.

A tire on the playground.

Guests

Yuko and Keta, friends of a friend, are staying at my place until they can find a house or cabin somewhere on Yakushima. They moved down from Hiroshima and had been living in their van for a few weeks. Their hobbies include making jam, skinny dipping, playing digirido in the mornings and dancing with fruit. I wish them luck finding a place to live. In the meantime it's a lot of fun to hang out with them.
