My Favorite Blogs

No.1 904 ★SMILEY★
This blog's color and font make the blog clear and enjoy us. The articles are fulled with some information, especially, the one about New Zealand. It is difficult that we understand all information at once in short presentation, but in blogs, even if a little difficult information,for example figures or statistic, is put on the article, we can look it closely later. It is very useful and impressed me.

No.2 921 L.S.C
As there are many blogs, it is difficult to attract people and have them read one's own blog. So first impression is very important. This blog's letter attracated me. In this blog, many colorful and large size letters are used. I felt like reading it when i saw it. It seems easy, but actually is difficult.

No.3 938 Daily Things
There is calm atomsphere in this blog. In pictures, quiet ones have been chosen. Some people may say it should be more attractive, but I like this mood.

Harvest Moon...Autumn Festival

Harvest festival in England is held in autumn. People appreciates crops in the year to God. The moon which appears in the season is especially called “the Harvest Moon”. A long time ago, when there was not electricity farmers could work all the night under the light of the moon.
By the way, the harvest moon is famous as another event in Japan. People put some Japanese pampas grass, “susuki” and Japanese sweets, “dango”, which is made from rice powder, on the veranda And people watch the moon. I mean, the event is “tukimi”. “Tuki” means the moon, by the way, the harvest moon is called “tyusyu-no-meigetsu”in Japan. ”Mi” means watching.
The two events seems very different, but an area in Japan put some taros instead of dango to appreciate the Harvest. So when you held tukimi next time, how about watching the moon over appreciating it?
