From December 23rd to 25th, the Tokyo Skytree was illuminated in special colors for Christmas. People enjoyed the red illumination inspired by a candle and the green illumination which reminds you of a Christmas tree, on the first Christmas since the world's tallest TV tower completed.
The massive Christmas tree soaring in the huge capital brought people peace, calmness and happiness on the holy night.

I came across a woman walking her meerkat at Harajuku, Tokyo. People who did not expected to meet this beastie in the middle of the capital were stopping by to look at it and took pictures of the adorable superstar.

I bumped into Rilakkuma, one of the most popular characters in Japan, at a shopping mall near my place on a Sunday afternoon. Rilakkuma is a combination of two words: relax in Japanese pronunciation and kuma, the Japanese word for bear. He (or she?) was surrounded by many shoppers offering them fun and relaxation.

Diver City Tokyo Plaza, a brand new commercial complex which opened this April in Odaiba, Tokyo, houses over 150 shops and a few entertainment facilities. You can get these Hello Kitty shaped baked cakes at Hello Kitty Japan by Sanrio, one of the shops. Too cute to eat? Come on, it would be a waste not to try them. They taste wonderful and are cute!

From November to December, many lucky rake fairs are held at shrines around Japan. People visit a fair to get a decorated bamboo rake, which, it is said, has a charm to gather luck. Tori-no-Ichi, that takes place at Otori Shrine in Asakusa, Tokyo in November, is the most well-known rake fair.
There is also a large fair called Okame-Ichi in my city Kawaguchi. It is held at Kawaguchi Shrine, the guardian god of the city, every December 15th. The street, leading you from Kawaguchi Station to the shrine, is lined by 600 food stalls and entertainment stalls, while the precincts of the shrine are dominated by rake stalls. The area bustles with numerous people exploring stalls, buying a rake and worshiping at the shrine on the winter day.

In Japanese Buddhism, people traditionally visit their ancestral graves around equinox days. They place flowers, foods and drinks that the deceased used to love, offer incense sticks at the tombstone and tell her/him how they have been doing these days.
I also visited my fathers grave on the autumnal equinox day with my mother, sister and her kids. We bumped into my cousin in front of the tombstone. My father would have been glad to listen to our stories and to meet his grandkids, whom he had never seen during his life.

He was born and raised in a coastal town. He has been living his life with surfing and loving it since he was a kid. It has been a part of his life rather than a leisure activity.
As he grew to adulthood, he began to travel around the world for waves. However, he says he still loves the waves on the shore of his hometown.
On this day, he got up at 4 oclock and entered the sea to surf with the sunrise, as usual.
