There are some big supermarket,but the people who live in near young man(ONIISAN)buy many freshness vegitable(SHINSEN NA YASAI WO TAKUSAN KAIMASU).

Items that young man "ONIISAN"buy is not lot,they grow up near hear easy going(NONBIRI).
So the shape of them are different size.
But they are taken care(TEMAHIMA KAKETE) to raise with agrichemicals(NOUYAKU) a little bit,

And also it is best price(NANIYORI YASUI)!As for the half price(HANGAKU) to buy in supermarket.

I went to Bon dance Festival.(WATASHI WA BON-ODORI TAIKAI  E  ITTEKIMASHITA)  
Bon Dance  Festival is opened in various parts of Japan in summer.
"Bon"  is a festival that comforts ancestral spirits.
And,people in the village and the town gather, and it dances to the drum, the whistle, and the song.
...Actually, comfortable festival, it reels and it enjoys that all gather on the night of summer.  (NATSU NO YOI)
Though the country might be the same, it is a social party (SHAKOUBA) of the family with their children and the grandpa grandmas.  
Though it was a long silence(GOBUSATA) having gone when I am also small for 20 years,I decides to go to Bon Dance Festival with my children  opened near the parents' family.

We went to a big park  where it takes five minutes
 from the parents' family house arround 7pm. 
When we approaches to the hall, the music of the Bon Festival Dance is heard,
 furthermore everyone has already danced.    

They dances surroundings of the tower put on  the center of the plaza  while turning round and round.

Women who takes the kimono (in generally, it is called YUKATA in Japan) has the dance lesson  are very good dancer.
When there are such women in some places at the circle, all members can dance to copy cat to them.(MANE TE ODORU KOTO GA DEKIMASU)

These are usual girls.(not learn)
I was surprised.

Because they dance well.

They're sure to practice beforehand, I think.

I entered the circle because it seemed to be happy ,
though I was not able to dance at all.

Amazingly, I can dance somehow by watching and imitating like it.
It just a Japanese gene～.  

My children also participated (SANNKA SHIMASHITA) wearing  YUKATA.
My daughter's YUKATA is Kitty's pattern.    
My son woar JINBEI with Japanese classic pattern  sold in kimono shop.
It is a price about three times daughter's YUKATA.
Traditional coloring of Japan is very chic.
 

Bon Dance Festival not only dances
but also various shows,
and the night stalls are opened.

 
This is balloon hanging.

 (KORE WA FU-SEN TSURI)
The rubber band has placed to the balloon,
and you hang it with thin paper that applies the hook.
Because the balloon is floated on water,
If you don't hang it on the rubber band well,
paper gets wet at once and it cuts.

The neighborhood association  planned
this Bon Festival Dance.
So, shoppers of the night stalls are
member of neighborhood the senior citizens . 

Here is a lot.(KOCHILA WA KUJI)
You can get SUPER BALL that you draw its number.
It is possible to challenge twice for 100 yen
both the ballon hanging and the lot.

My child really wanted to do,
so he was very seriously.  

To tell the truth,
In Japan ,it overflows the thing today,
they don't usually look round such a toy.

 
However,they absorbed in that as for the festival.
It doesn't change old times and now.  

He draw considerably good lot.(KANARI II KUJI WO HIITAMITAI) 
He get a big size.
It twinkles as you confined tonight memories.
