Halloween becoming major in Japan!

Although Halloween was not a major event in Japan, recently, there are Halloween displays and kids going out doing Trick-or-treat.

Maybe Halloween is getting well know because Disneyland has been putting up TV commercials of Halloween parade in Japan!

Here's a photo of Jack o' lantern I found when I was walking past a florist.

Made Jack o' lantern out of a pumpkin that was growing in our back yard.

Major animation in Japan

One of the major animation in Japan is Gundam, a story in the future where war is conducted by mobile suit (war machine).

The first series was aired in the 1970s, and since then, there has been a lot of story with lots of different style Gundam.

This photo here is some of the Gundams and there's much more not shown in this display.

Wonder how many version there are currently, but sure is a long running animation series!!

General Frankie from One Piece

One character I like from the animation One Piece is this robot, "General Frankie".

The unique part about it is that is uses coke as its energy to shoot laser.

Now the story is in a different chapter, but I hope to see it in action again soon.

Art Aquarium 2013 at Coredo Muromachi in Nihonbashi, Tokyo

Made a video from the pictures I took at Art Aquarium 2013 exhibit at Coredo Muromachi in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.

Because they do not allow video filming at the exhibit, I tried taking as many pictures as possible so that I can see the various changes of the exhibit.

The thing is, there's no way you can replicate the sound and the aroma at the exhibit...but anyways, still good!

Goldfish art screen

Here's an unique goldfish art exhibit from the Art Aquarium.

There's a long screen behind the aquarium and you can see the goldfish swimming in front of the four seasons in Japan.

The movie is about five minutes.

You should also notice the movie reflecting on the surface of the water on the aquarium in the front.

Live goldfish kimono design

At one of the exhibit at the Art Aquarium, you can enjoy a live goldfish kimono design.

They have a screen shaped in kimono with a goldfish aquarium in the front.

Along with the music, various design is projected on the screen.

Here is one part of the exhibit.  You can see the design of a blue ink spreading on the kimono, followed by different design.

Because the goldfish is alive and swimming constantly, there are no designs exactly alike!

Art Aquarium at Coredo Muromachi Part 2

Here's a set of other goldfish display at the Art Aquarium.

Different goldfish placed in a oval aquarium with water filled to the top.

Looks so beautiful, that it might be a good display to feel cool when it is hot.

You'll also be amazed to see all the different kinds of goldfish you can see here!
