Me and my Friend has meet this nice man in Kyoto while visiting temple. He saw us taking photos and offer kindly to take picture of us together. Then he shows us some good places for taking pictures in this temple. He told us that he was a photographer and shoot often pictures here. After living in Japan for over a month I would say that the most of Japanese people are really friendly, nice and helpful.
This is my ceramic teacher. He teaches us the basics of working with clay. Pottery is one of oldest art forms in Japan. It dates back to a Neolithic Age. The Jomon pottery is world famous ancient ceramic and even gives the name to an earliest era in Japanese history. Today ceramics still play an important role in Japanese culture. Especially in the tea ceremony. Tea masters use special maiden cups and pots since 16th century. Some cups are really expensive and may cost over hundred thousand dollars.

These are some people I met at “The Ring”, a karaoke club in Hirakata. Even if you know that Karaoke come from Japan, so I guess you probably never hear the name Daisuke Inoue. But it was him who gets this fabulous idea in early 70. In the beginning he just made 11 karaoke machines and rent them to some clubs in Kobe. He didn’t patent his work. Despite Karaoke get famous all over the world he didn’t get any benefit of his invention. 2004 Daisuke Inoue was honored with a Peace Nobel Price as a creator of Karaoke, because it provide “an entirely new way for people to learn to tolerate each other.”²

06.08.1945 United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. In between destruction and fire there was a 13 years old girl who survived, and keep on living till today to tell the new generation about the nightmare, which came true.
In between of white light and black rain, the whole city burned to the ground… corpses on the streets… people burned in a second while walking… dead bodies instead of water in the river basin… black bodily parts raised above ashes and trash… few survivor looking in vain for relatives… some still alive, with eyes burned out and fingers melted together… will die now, in a hour, tonight, tomorrow, next week, in a month, next year… because of pain, shock, burns, radiation toxicity, cancer, suicide… She told us also about the man who died last year. He survived two atomic bomb attacks. After Hiroshima disaster he flees from destroyed city and went by train to Nagasaki looking for shelter and relatives. No one knows that it would be the second target. Be grateful to those who survived and still keep their spirits up to travel across the world and tell their stories, trying get the humanity clarified of war cruelty, to prevent the recurrence of atomic warfare.
