		<description><![CDATA[This Photo of the Week is a simple one, but I really like it. A guy in a traditional store in Gion Kyoto adding more items to display. It&#8217;s more in the tourist area than the Geisha area, but it&#8217;s still Gion. Many shop keepers in Japan choose to wear these kinds if clothes, so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Photo of the Week is from the Tado Horse Festival. I&#8217;ve written about this before, but the summary is that the event is hundreds of years old, and if the horse gets over a mound of earth atop a hill then there will be a good rice harvest later in the year.

		<description><![CDATA[Aka: Yosakoi Yume Matsuri. I&#8217;m not sure what Yosakoi means, it&#8217;s perhaps a local Nagoya word. It&#8217;s a mini version of the Nagoya Dance Festival (&#8216;domatsuri&#8217;) held in September each year. The only thing that makes this stand out is that one of the dance teams wore a kimono costume that featured a waratah (pictured [...]]]></description>

After the event the local farmers can begin planting their rice. About 120,000 people annually go to see this event, which dates [...]]]></description>

To get there, one must take the Kintetsu train (from Nagoya), and change at Kintetsu Kuwana. Then take the yellow train of the Yoro Tetsudo company, which is probably [...]]]></description>

And to share the love of film, here&#8217;s an image from the Naked Man Festival, taken on Fujifilm Velvia100. See the blog for details on Fujifilm and the Naked Man [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received this very tragic and disturbing news today, Fujifilm has announced a price hike on their film, including my favourite, the beautiful Velvia 100 colour slide film! However, they are quick to point out that a price hike is better than cutting the line of films. Thanks to Alberto on G+ for sharing this [...]]]></description>
