Elementary/community Sports Day and Festival this past weekend at one of my schools. Great time.
Oh yes. Yes, we can.
I have this effect on children.
The cuteness of the Japanese child can never be defeated.
The Nuyama tug of war team goes 2-1, failing to reclaim championship form from 2 years ago. Not for lack of effort though.
Traditional drums, flutes and lion dancing. It never fails to impress me how talented the kids are and how much work they put into things like this.
You know you've been in Japan for a bit when you run into old students, long graduated... great kids.
I fully participate!
Always... So... Much... Running.
Here you have an elementary school boy totally flirting with the college student volunteer helper. I've never been prouder.
Some of next year's first graders.
Wacky community spirit. You have to love Japan.
Only one child was run over by the giant inflatable balls of death this year.
My Katsuura family taking care of me for lunch.
Physical stunts and synchronized dancing - the essence of Japan.
Mountains from Katsuura... sigh.
