I went to Ashomori in Okayama prefecture to see Hina-Doll : Dolls for the Girl's Festival yesterday.
They are setting lots of various Hina Dolls along the road or in the rooms of their houses.
They were very gorgeous.
After enjoying them, I went to some historical places and a temple.
I had a very good time though it was very cold.
These are the pictures that I took there.
Please take a look !
Winter sweet ;( Ro-u-ba-i)
Mr. Rose living in Juba, South Sudan is the seventh person I loaned ＄25 through Kiva.
He needs a loan of $1,125 to purchase more food items like, biscuits, milk, Nomi, and many others.
He is a 40 years old businessman with 5 children between the ages of 15 and 2. 4 of them go to school.
He runs a food store business and he has been in this business for 6 years.
In 5 years time, Rose hopes for an increase in the size of the business and to add more products.
He is going to repay the money in eight months.
I hope this loan also would repay smoothly !

Fruit of Chinaberry
Taking a walk, I saw this tree with lots of fruits and I walked up to it to take a picture.
They say this fruit seems to have poison, so we can't eat it.
At first I couldn't remember its name and I asked the name to an acquaintance who I happened to see while taking a walk.
Luckily she taught me its name and I was glad to remember the name.
Words of a bulletin board at a zen temple had been renewed like this.
It means as follows.
Contentment with the present situation.
Too much is as bad as too little.
Our desire tend to be infinite and it causes our pain in mind.
Be careful not to be a slave of desire.
