Here is our dinner for the day -
Chestnuts rice, miso soup with wakame and tofu, and some green vegetable from our balcony and thin fried bean curd with soy sauce flavor soup. Very simple Japanese home cooking !]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2007 04:22:15 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (AroundDolceStreet)

Now, I'm going to make "Kurigohan" - Steamed white rice with chestnust for autumn treat - I got those beautiful chestnuts that had been locally organically grown with non agricultural chemicals. I was peeling the hard skin of the chestnuts forever.....]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2007 04:12:41 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (AroundDolceStreet)

A bell of a really old and small temple in a moutain village where my aunt lives in Mie Prefecture. This temple was originally built in Heian Period (794 to 1185). This bell is rang for 108 times for a new year countdown on every December 31 before midnight. It's called "Joyano Kane." The 108 peals are believed to free the faithful from the 108 earthly desires as said in the Buddhist canon. Ringing the bell 108 times is believed to free evil for the coming year.
