On Saturday I headed over to Azuchi, one of the many many ohh so many old capitals of Japan, to see an exhibition of some of my students work. I've never noticed before but it seems at this time of year people are out collecting the dry rice stalks, bundling them together before making them into some something a bit like a cross between a corn dolly and an Ikea lamp. Unfortunatly having arrived in Azuchi I realised I'd forgoten not only my map to the exhibition but any information I might need to actually ask to get there. Still Azuchi is a nice place to visit especially at this time of the year when the sun has a strange hazy glow and the fields are covered with rolling clouds of smoke, especially after visiting some of the many bike shops near the stations. The best find for me was the large lake on the outskits of the city fishermen getting the most out of the last few hours of sunlight with rotting boats gently stiring on the water.
