japanese culture is rich in experiences for children. when they turn 3, 5, and 7, there are celebrations. noi turned 3 and she had a day of photos, a day at the shrine being blessed, and a party at a fancy restaurant. noi didn't wear a kimono to the shrine, but she wore one for the photos. instead she went shopping with her grandma and received a fancy dress. grandma picked it because it looked like a "burberry" dress. yes, my japanese relatives are into designer fashion. i wore my vintage leather and fur jacket that i bought at a used clothes store in the haight- hehehehee. these are photos of the shrine, noi in her fun pink hair holders, and hideto's sister and her husband. he works for coca-cola and they are sending him on a trip to the US this coming week. he's going to SF! and las vegas, sacramento to see almond farms, LA, universal studios, napa, and staying at hotel nikko- just blocks from our old pad.
