The Japan in the Winter theme continues and today its Ueno. Here we have a lot of Japanese tradition to be found - many shrines dotted around the area, the Ameyoko market, zoo, park and small streets of Ueno are a joy to explore - following bunch of photos taken before Christmas.
To get to Ueno, get off at Ueno station on the JR Yamanote line.

In a "Tatakiuri" [たたき売り] which means limited-time sale, you can find all kinds of sweet at a very low price.

Interesting food sample with mechanized chopsticks going up and down.

Kewpie with tatoo...

Onsen facility situated in the well known novelist Ogai Mori's house.

While looking for unique gifts to give my boys for Valentines Day, I discovered this plush beating heart.   After reading the description of this little pillow, I knew at once that it is the perfect gift for boys of all ages.  Hugging this pillow will remind them of their deep connection to animals and humans by internalizing the rhythm of the heartbeat.  The great thing about this pillow is that the heartbeats are modeled after human heartbeats during meditation, so your boy will unconsciously sync his heartbeat into a more relaxed state of being.  The soft, fluffy cover is washable and it comes in a heart shaped box (shown below).  Follow this link to Hearthsong.com to buy one for your little guy!
