About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

The market looks so good. Such fresh veggies....It brings back so many memories for me. I can just imagine the smells, too.
I miss Japan....I want to go back. Your pictures of the cherry blossoms makes me very homesick.

Hi Carlyn,
Sorry I didn't notice this comment earlier... I know how you feel. I often feel the same way when I see the photos of the South in the US.
You gotta come visit Japan again someday.

Not only the vegetables are beautiful, the display are captivating; I, too, miss many things about Japan.
But palm trees? On the Kanto Plain I was intoxicated by the most wondrous cherry trees ever, and on the other side of Shikoku I don't remember palms around Matsuyama, though perhaps the visit was too short.
Your site is a joy.
Did you grow up in AZ? The colloquial English is a little surprising.
Food picures. So nice.
Best regards and a wish for many more successes with your beautiful work. G

Hi gary tate,
I’ve never heard that there are palm trees in Matsuyama. I’ve been there a few times because my younger sister lives there, but I haven’t seen any. Actually I guess those palm trees in Kochi city and near the airport were brought from somewhere else (outside the prefecture) and planted to give the sightseeing spots some “tropical(?)” atmosphere, but I’m not positive. I didn’t grow up in AZ --- I stayed there for 2 months more than 10 years ago. My English is a mixture of strange colloquial expressions and words I picked up from online dictionaries that I don’t really know how to use in which context, and bunch of typos. Hahaha… Anyway, I’m glad that you enjoy my blog. Come visit often! :D
