Friday Finish - Summertime Mt. Fuji

 I finished this into a hanging with a sleeve on the back.




It represents Mt. Fuji and some of the places that make up the Mt. Fuji UNESCO site along with the mountain.



I made Mt. Fuji with clouds and the torii on top, just as I remember the top when I climbed Mt. Fuji in 2019.






This is one of the many old pine trees that make up Miho no Matsubara, which is walking distance from where I live.






Shiraito no Taki is a beautiful set of waterfalls, with a pool of water at the bottom.






Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine is in Fujinomiya.




I’m happy with how this turned out!

Japanese Community Performances

Last Sunday, I went to Fuji City. First I had an early lunch with a friend, then attended an afternoon of drums, singing, dance, and a play involving dragons. 


This was great - and so Japanese! The performers were all ages, from the little bitties to the very old. I wish everyone could experience this show.
