Hanami Bridge in the Summer

Posted on March 31, 2024July 26, 2024 Posted in PicsTagged Bridge, Empty, IRL, Japan, Tottori

Unfortunately far from the right time to visit given the name of the bridge (hanami = flower viewing), but at least there’s no crowd at all.

After a whole day of exploring, I do need some shut-eye as well.

Daddy ! Daddy ! Do !

I first caught wind of Masayuki Suzuki’s songs as the opening to the Kaguya-sama: Love is War anime series. This one has a weird title at first, but damn if it isn’t catchy.

Who’d figure Japan has a “desert” of their own!?

Tottori is well-known for their crab, and this bento makes full use of it, from its claws, shredded meat, to even crab stock used to cook the rice.

Tottori Sand Museum

It’s beautiful, intricate, and yet ephemeral, as the exhibits get rebuilt every year, with changing themes (this year it’s Ancient Egypt). Considering there isn’t a solid barrier separating visitors from exhibits, I’m quite surprised someone hasn’t simply pummelled the sand yet.
