Mount Aso eruption

Mount Aso in Kyushu erupted yesterday. The smoke column reached today 4km into the sky! In one week we had weird earthquake in Tokyo, floods, typhoons and now a volcano erupting. Please, mother earth, give us a rest, the last thing we need is an alien invasion to feel like the people living in Sim City.

Floating sushi in Osaka

This weekend sushi could be seen navigating the Osaka river. It is an artistic performance part of the “Osaka Canvas Project” where artists are free to use their creativity to beautify the streets of the city. I love the idea, so simple but at the same time so surprising, it reminds me the giant rubber duck.

Mixing reality with fiction from the anime Free!

I love series of photos comparing real locations with Japanese manga or anime. My favourite is the The garden of words, the art of the movie is so good that if you don’t look carefully you might not be able to distinguish reality from fiction. This new series of pictures has been collected by @momo_hiki29 during a trip to Iwami, the town where the characters of the anime Free! live.
