I went to the Takayama Festival on 9-10, Oct. This festival has very old history, and as known as big3 of most beautiful festival in Japan. There are many kind of floatings. Most popular one is riding dolls which was moved old mechanical system. (Karakuri-doll) I could see the floating riding dolls, it was amazing show. After the festival, I went to Shirakawago, on 11, Oct,. This place was known as the world heritage, and it was very snowy in winter season. I could see the old style houses here. It was peaceful autumn holidays :)
(Continuation of previous entry) After going to "Rokko meets Art", I joined a workshop in Osaka. It was about lighting and Arts. Actually, this workshop teacher was my friend, and the venue is another friend's atelier which can use a alternative space. At first, we talked to how do I feel when I saw an Art work, and it could be changed another sense of mine, not only impression, imagine the smelling, temperature, touching, etc. Finally, this session made a lightning works, it used changing the sense for imagine. It was very interesting workshop. This venue is a old style Japanese popular house which is renovated "Nagaya"(長屋), I stayed there. The house located near to central Osaka, but the surround site was also old-fashioned commercial district, so as if I were in the wonderland!! I spend very interesting experience.
