Had been reading up alot lately on Samurais, Japanese Spirits and related stuffs lately,
Somethings i found very interesting were the helmets Samurai's wore and the Hannya Mask a jealous lady draped on her face as she went on to kill her ex lover. Shall not elaborate more as it would be very draggy.

The following pictures are on a festival in Japan, Sanja Matsuri,
The atmosphere and the celebration must be great,
I will visit Japan with my girl when they have this festival!
Let’s work towards it.

Minor description of the festival, Sanja Matsuri.
Like many Japanese Festival, Sanja Matsuri is a religious celebration. It is a weekend-long Shinto festival that is dedicated to the kami (spirits) of three men. It is believed that two fishermen—brothers named Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari—found a statuette of the Bodhisattva Kannon caught in a fishing net in the Sumida River on May 17, 628. The third man, a wealthy landlord named Hajino Nakatomo, heard about the discovery, approached the brothers and converted them to Buddhism. The three men then devoted their lives to the Buddhist faith and consecrated the statue in a small temple. This temple, now known as the Senso-ji, currently houses the Kannon statue and is the oldest temple in Tokyo.

Feels weird today coming to work without my girl,
Knowing that she won’t be here anymore.
Last time, I could just turn my back and i feel like seeing her,
And take a peek at her,
But she has to move on to a better environment and place with better career prospect,
Lets work hard together for our shared future!
Loves!
