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!
