Children’s Day 2013

May 5th is a Children’s Day in Japan. This year, at Mili’s home school and playgroup, Mili made a Koinobori (above) and I helped her make a kabuto (the traditional Japanese military helmet) with a newspaper (below). I used to make these when I was little at school, it’s really awesome to get to do this all over again with my own kid now! Happy Children’s Day, Mili!

(She didn’t like wearing the kabuto… haha)

Happy Spring Friday!

It’s been oh so gorgeous around here, the nature is responding really well you can see! I love seeing the Spring blooming, I know I say this every year, but I just cannot get enough. Here are some photos I took around the city. Wishing you all a happy Spring Friday and weekend!

This cherry blossom tree is in the middle of Soho on West Broadway street. It was stunning! Everyone was taking photos :)
