Miyazima

I went to Miyazima in Hiroshima last week. Miyazima is one of island in Hiroshima. I have been to there four times. I went to Miyazima by train and ferry. It cost me 500yen to take both vehicle. So I think it is very cheap! In Miyazima, at first, I took many pictures of deers. So, there are a lot of deers in Miyazima. Deers are so cute, but they eat paper and package. That is why deers are dangerous a little. Secondly, I ate tubu-shaped fish-paste cake. Hiroshima is famous not only Okonomiyaki ,but also that. After that I saw Torii(Shinto shrine archway). It is looked water's surface. It is very beautiful, however it was ebb tide. Because of it was sunny I took a walk for a long time. And I ate oyster of Okonomiyaki , it was so delicious. Lastly, I ate fry age momizi. This is fried Momizi manjyuu . I ate a lot of foods! Why don't you go to Miyazima to eat delicious foods???

Christmas volley ball game

Yesterday, I went to Christmas volleyball game. It was so fun. I played volleyball each grade team. First grader came in first! They played very it. So I lost them. After volley ball we ran relay. Our team (second grader) came in first! But there were a little member, so we ran any times. It was hard. I think this even is very important. If it is not, we can't meet. So, it is good chance to communicate a student with another student. After volley ball game, we hold year end party. I ate delicious foods and drink. I could talk many a lot of younger generation. I was happy. I want to do value it. By the way, Christmas makes us happy. So I want to go out 24th and 25th. And I want to see beautiful illuminations!

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is 'Mazyono takkyuubin''. This film is kinds of Ziburi. This film is very poplar, so most of Japanese people have seen it. I have watched it about ten times over. This story is a girl become independent. Her name is 'KiKi'. She leaves home to become great witch. This movies BGMs are really good. I love them especially, the message of rouge. So this movie is interesting not story but also music. My best scene is KiKi fries to sky with her broom. When I saw this scene, I became to want to fly sky! Trough this movie I could learn that independent is very important. I want to have courage like her!

My best memory

My best memory is to meet my best friend. This things is very nice for me. My best friend's name is Mai. When I went to high school , I saw her. Then I moved to Kawamoto from Matsue. I didn't have friends first, but I became a friends soon. When I saw her first time, I was very not good. I was worried all things then. But she was very kind to me every time. So I could talk anything. I could relax. She and I were class mate for 3years. After school we practiced activity each other ,after that we spent a time everyday! We studied together, had dinner together. Now I am touching with her. Sometimes I talk with her!!

Kagura

I was writing long sentence about Kagura. But it is erased... Oh no. There is a Kagura one of Japanese culture. There are some kinds of Kagura in Japan. My area's Kagura is called ''Iwami-Kagura''. Kagura is classical theater in order to dedicate to God. You can it in temple, festival and public hall. In fact Kagura is held one night(from nine at night to six at morning), so it is very long long performance. However it often play one hour in festival. Iwami-Kagura treat Japanese myth such as 'Ebisu', ' Orochi', 'Tenzgin'. My favorite is 'Ebisu' which is played in auspicious occasion for example wedding reception. There is a mask used by Kagura. Children often make it. It is very good chance to touch Japanese culture.
