Arabesque greenling



didn't know hokke is called like this in english...
it is common in izakaya-pubs.
english speakers jokingly call this fish 'hockey',
saying hokke sounds like that.
this one is slightly shorter than 50 cm.

near rice fields,



often see red spider lilies.
don't they look like sparklers?

after the harvest of rice


they bundle a bunch, hang on the bar and dry them in the sun.

i never imagined a two-storied PRINCE HOTEL.
