Good afternoon! How are you? I’m great. I have so many cool moments to share with you all. Let’s start with last weekend. My family and I were invited on a road trip with our friend Hide. Hide is a Japanese native with a good heart. He really likes the history of Japan and sharing it with others. Hide and I have lots of adventures together; I would like to share this particular moment we had. The day started when Hide came to pick up my family and I in his car. We all rode together, conversing about interest and hobbies. Though the ride was long, we found it very short because we were having so much fun. Our first destination was to see The Zenigata Sand Sculpture. This sculpture was made in the 10th year of the Kan’ei period (1633) by the local people. The Zenigata sculpture was a gift to welcome Daimyo Lord Ikoma Takatoshi during his Tour of the area. It is said, anyone who views the Zenigata sculpture will live a long healthy life and not be troubled with worries about money. (Citing: (Kagawa Prefecture. The Zenigata Sand Sculpture.))
After we viewed the sculpture, we walked the path. We went through a flower garden and up to a display of native housing. The house was so detailed. The sound structure made me think of the precision Japanese ancestors went through to build shelter. Surprisingly, it was very cool inside because it was built into the ground. Here is a picture of the exterior and interior...


At the end of the day, we journeyed to the beach. I helped my daughter build a sandcastle and basked in the sun with my wife. We all played in the water, including Hide. A fantastic day from the beginning to the end. Did you take a trip last weekend? How was your trip? Thanks for reading my blogs.
