After 2 beautiful days on the coast of Shikoku…
….tsuyo, the rainy season started today! Now I’m sitting in a little henro-hut and it’s getting dark quickly. Raindrops are dripping on the plastic roofs, frogs and cicadas are singing their songs. Sometimes are car is passing by interrupting their chorus.
Around are my cloth, hanged of the boards of the hut. Hopefully they get at least a little boy dry until tomorrow morning. At least the stuff in my backpack is dry 🙂 meanwhile I pack everything into separate plastic bags. In Japan you get everything packed, so having enough bags is not an issue. Wrapping Culture by Joy Hendrik is a known book about this Japanese phenomena. While making a present in Japan, the wrapping is quite often more important than the content.
Fruits are growing into their wrapping
This also makes brand wear – stuff from a well known maker, like Gucchi, so popular here. The name is just the wrapping, the quality is not so important.
Now I will wrap myself in my sleeping bag and dream my cloth dry 😉
