Hi, guys. It's a bit late but please let me say happy new year for 2013.
I spent some days in my parents house, who still live the place where I was born and grown up to seventeen years old.
It's a typical countryside of Japan, where quite amount of forests and creeks are still there.
This time I want to introduce the palce where I was grown up as my new year greeting.
This is Mt. Shosha. just one thousand feet tall mountain and is the place where I spent quite a long time when I was a kid.
The path goes along with a nice creek as you see.
Around the mountain there you find a typical Japanese countryside view.
On top of the mountain, there is a large Buddist temple "Engyoji".
The forest is so deep that you will never imagine such a big temple exsists until you step into the main pilgrim route.
This is my footage into the main route and reach in front of the main building (the temple has several more major buildings).

Some of you may have heard of this temple as this is the place the film "Last Samurai" shooting was done.
There is a Wikipedia page for the temple but unfortunately not much written. Maybe image-searching works better I suppose.
Now I'm back to Kamakura and started working again.
Its relatively cold these days and the bird's bath dish is frozen up eveyday.
Well, that's all. I wish I can go out more often and build a new knife this year.
Thanks for reading my thread.
