This is how to get to the japanese knifeshop in Koriyama 🙂 it is a nice small shop. The owner is very kind. I bought a knife from seki (gifu prefecture near osaka, this is where the best blacksmith are working, even the samurais katanas came from there since hundreds of years) there, including lifelong sharpening service at his shop. Whenever i don’t plan to come back soon ^^

  

        

About four weeks before a special national holiday in may, the japanese start to hang flags with koi fish on their houses. These pictures here are from the town community over a river in Sukagawa, Fukushima.
