Sea of rice	[ index| x010100 , 150827 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama This was just a tranquil experience watching rice bend in the wind.

Urban Density	[ index| x010100 , 150827 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama I took this from the window of my apartment at 4 am August 27 2003 JST. Like sardinies!

Midnight Construction	[ index| x001001 , 150829 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama This colorful sign leaves no one unaware of approaching roadwork.

Yubinkyouku	[ index| x000001 , 150830 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama The Post Office in Mozumi.

Big Spider

[ index| x000100 , 150830 ]

City: Mozumi/Toyama I regret not having the courage to get close enough to this thing to get something in the picture to give some scale, but this thing was pretty big, and brightly colored - which I think means 'stay away' in nature. Really the more interesting thing about this spider is that they are communal, several times I saw 3 or 4 of them living together on the same web - rare in the spider world..

Three's Company	[ index| x000100 , 150830 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama See...they all hangout together - very interesting.

Part of Mozumi	[ index| x000100 , 150830 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama Since Mozumi is a really small town, maybe this isnt surprising. This lot however is just a few feeet down from the office. Good contrast really.

Giant Moth	[ index| x000100 , 150830 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama I think this guy is where the idea for Mothra originated.

House of Dreams

[ index| x010000 , 150830 ]

City: Mozumi/Toyama The house of dreams - yumeyakata - was in years past the local brothel for miners living in kamioka/mozumi. Recently though it has been converted into a civic center of sorts, which can be rented out for gatherings and such. One of the locals, and friend to the KamLAND collaboration rented it out for a going away party - pictures are on this site as well. Anyhow it is just a typical traditional japanese house.
