The Star Festival

By Tenkaijapan - Last updated: 金曜日, 6月 22, 2012

My daughter is writing her wishes on strips of colorful paper and hangs them from bamboo branches.

The strips say “I wish to become a “Pretty Cure” in the future… for the sake of the world peace”.

A five-year-old girl tries to bring about world peace!

Please don’t forget it even when you’ve grown up. 🙂

『七夕』

我が家の姫、何やら願い事をせっせと書いています。

書き終えた短冊を見てみると…

左の短冊から『ぷりきゅあになって…』右の短冊へ…『みんながしあわせになる』

『プリキュアになってみんなが幸せになる』

わずか5歳で世界平和を願ってるのねー((((;゜Д゜)))

しかも言い切っちゃったよ…(笑)。

大きくなってもその気持ちを忘れないでね(^_^)

mini chair

By Tenkaijapan - Last updated: 金曜日, 6月 22, 2012
 I made this wire chair :-) The hat is doll’s one that I played when I was a child:-) Always I think that if grow order , all girls wanna be like a doll so cute and fashionable! So I always use those items of dolls when i make something:-)

 By Hanako Saito

 

Hice una silla de alambre el año pasado. este sombrero es de las muñecas q yo jugaba cuando era niña. siempre pienso q aunque se envejecen, todas las chicas quieren ser bonita y estar de moda como las muñecas! Por eso al hacer algo, siempre uso estos items de las muñecas:-)

 

手作りの針金ドールchairです*

誰も座れないんですが…
針金アートにハマり作ってみました。手を怪我することも多かったですが、ただの針金がこうやって姿を変えてアートになるのが面白いなと思っています!きっとやろうと思えば何にだって変身してしまうと思うんです。
使っている帽子はリカちゃん人形の帽子です。これは私がまだ小さい頃に遊んでいたものです(^^)
当時のおもちゃが何年もたった今、次はアートの一部として役に立っています*

憧れだった幼少期のおもちゃ。当時はただの遊び道具だったこれらの人形のアイテムを大人になった自分がファッションやアートの一部として楽しめたら、きっと面白いと思います:-)
そういうものをたくさん作っていきたいです!

Japan’s fastest elevator

By Tenkaijapan - Last updated: 木曜日, 6月 21, 2012
My friend from Canada was over, and her relatives live in Yokohama, so we went to Yokohama the first time.
The place was absolutely beautiiiiifffuuullll!
 
We went to the landmark tower which is known for being the Japan’s fastest elevator.
It shoots up to the 69th floor with the speed of 45km/hour.
It felt like I was on the “tower of terror” at Disney Sea and could feel my ears pop!
 
The view from the 69th floor was just gorgeous.
It was a sunny day so we saw everything clearly.
One shocking news (at least for me!) here:
 
In this area, you are not allowed to hang dry your laundries outside since it ruins the beautiful view.
…how about the people who don’t own a dryer??? Apparently, you have to hang wet laundry in your room :/
But this rule definitely does help the city look amazing!
