Nuts nuts and nuts




Whole, wild, local, organic walnutsクルミ, chestnutsクリ and buckeye nuts栃の実 are in season right now! they are 0 yen a pound :) Nobody seems to bother though, except for my dad and I, at least around here... What a strange world.

Pictures: buckeye nuts and walnuts (in the shell), my dad pealing buckeyes (he knows how to make them edible), halved walnuts. yummy :)

Alternative medicine making



Amanosan and I made medicine out of red pine needles. It's gonna ferment in the next 2 weeks or something and will be ready to drink. All we put in were pine needles, well water and beets sugar. Pine trees are everywhere around my dad's cabin so it's pretty much free to make. I'm excited to drink it and see how it works on my body :)

Autumn sky







I love the autumn sky. It's soooo beautiful everyday:)

T shirt design


I helped Kuzuhara-san make Sado tshirts and designed one (the one on the lower left corner) myself.
hopefully they will sell at festivals?
