Äänekoski, Finland - 30th July 2012
By: Fendi
Good morning all of you!
On last week my new mom saved me from a gift shop. It was a terrible place, I was in the same box with 20 bears! I was the only fox left.
But now I'm in a good place. Still I hope I can start travelling soon, I want to see so many places as possible! My dream is to be some day a international gentleman, who has friends all over the world, tasted all kind of foods and seen gorgeous fox ladies.
Maybe we will meet soon!

Yaaaaaay! Today I will start my trip, and it will be a long trip, because my first host lives in Japan! I hope everything goes well and I will be soon there : )
PieksiHH left today too, so me and Nils organized a good-bye party for him on the weekend. Now Nils is sleeping so I will leave like a fox, quietly and imperceptibly. Maybe I will leave a note for him, I will anyway miss him.
Japan, here I come! (Uhh, I forget that I should behave like a gentleman)

Shioya Coast, Shido Bay, Japan - 18th August 2012
By: hanachan
Hi,
Takamatsu-city faces the Seto Inland Sea which contains more than 2000 islands.
It's very calm water.
Near the coast there is a shrine. Here's a picture of Komainu, the guardian of shrine gate. It's an "imaginary" animal.

Goshikidai, mountain range, Japan - 24th August 2012
By: hanachan
Hello!
I'm standing on the top of the mountain between 2 cities, Takamatsu and Sakaide. It's an amazing view of the Seto Inland Sea. Can you see the Seto Ohashi Bridge across the sea?
In mountain I saw a very strange statue of Ushi-Oni. It is a creature which appears in the folklore of Japan.

Saburo-ike, The pond where the dragon lives in
Legend has it that the guardian of this pond is a large snake.
In Japan dragons and snakes are often worshiped as a deity of water.
They call clouds and shower benefits upon fields. Japanese folklore.
See the map. The shape of Japan looks like the dragon climbing the sky.

Naruto, Tokushima pref., Japan - 16th December 2012
By: hanachan
Otsuka Museum of Art
The world's first collection of Ceramic-Board Reproduction of Masterpaintings.
Now I'm not in the Sistine Chapel, Rome. The room is an authentic-looking reproductions of the Sistine Chapel's art works. This is one of the exhibits in this museum. These are not original paintings. They are ceramic works using a special manufacturing technique. Visitors can see over 1000 full-size ceramic reproductions of major works of art. The works are transfer-printed from photographs before being fired and retouched.
Of course I enjoyed reproductions of great paintings in the modern ages.
