Fruit and Vegetable

Sometimes I feel like a banana. This one is not from Japan, but it's ok.

Big Horse, Small Daikon

This horse is from a place called Troy. Watch out for the ninja daikon hiding inside...

Interesting for a Daikon

Hmm... I wonder what might be in store for a daikon here?

Daikon in the bazaar

Here I am with my friend Mehmet from the Grand Bazaar and a lot of lamps. In Japan we use the paper lanterns. But I like glass, too. I prefer the green and white one. Should we go shopping together?

Apple Tea

A daikon loves to drink tea. I wish mine was not so far away...

Nonbiri...

Finally. Relax. It's not easy being a Daikon. So sometimes I just need to relax. I don't like too much sun though...

Me and Mahoot

Because my friend (Anonymous-san) guessed right that I was in Thailand, I decided to show some more scenes of radish adventure. Here I am riding an elephant. It is good they don't eat daikon!

A couple of hints...

You never know where a daikon might end up next... Do these hints help you to find me?

A time for vacation

Even daikon need a vacation, so I am going travelling. Let's guess where I am going. If you are right, I will send you a daikon postcard.

Happy (Daikon) New Year from Paris

Did you know that there are Daikons in Paris? It's true. Sakurajima-daikon and I went to France this year as our holiday trip. It was cold, but we were able to find a nice tea house with delicious o-cha. I hope you all have a happy new year. In 2009 my dream is to find a nice travelling vest. Gambarimashou!

Happy Holidays From Daikon Family

Hello to everyone! This time of year, the daikon family is all together. Even rowdy Sakurajima Daikon-san has come back to visit us. Tonight we will prepare some home-made mochi to eat on New Years Eve. It is his favorite. Happy holidays from us!

Ancient Daikon

Can you read ancient Greek? This stone says that this is the site of an ancient Daikon Patch. I wonder if I can find a statue of an ancient daikon?

A Travelling Daikon

In Japan we have the saying "井の中の蛙大海を知らず" (i no naka no kawazu taikai o shirazu). This means that the frog in a well does not know the great sea. Sometimes when I spend too many days on the Tokyo Subway, I feel a bit like the frog. So to feel better, I have started a small trip to some ancient places. Come sea the great sea with me!

Me and the Sea

For a Japanese Daikon the sea is very beautiful. Here in Greece I like to sit on the rocks and write a Haiku poem. If you like Japanese Haiku, please share with me.

Island of Calm

Russia is not an easy place for a Japanese Daikon. So I was very happy to find this restaurant. The name is Wabi Sabi in Russian language. Wabi Sabi is my motto. Some people say this means the Japanese artistic sense of impermanence, simplicity, imperfection and balance. I don't know much about this. But they did have good noodles.

Out for a Drink in Albania

Although 0-sake (or nihonshuu) is my favorite, I also like to drink beer. My friend Sakurajima Daikon and I sampled some of the local variety in Albania.

Serious Radish in Russia

Beautiful church in Red Square with onion domes. They remind me of Sakurajima Daikon. I wish he was here.

Portrait of Daikon

Maiko-chan sent in this wabi-sabi photo. I enjoy tea and friends. Please feel comfortable to send photos if you have daikon friends. 

Me and Olive Tree

The olive branch is a symbol of peace. I would like to share it with you.

Me and airplane meal

It was not like Japanese food, but they tried their best. That is all that matters.
