Was suffering from lack of sunshine having spent too much time indoors (having classes in the afternoon means its already dark when I leave my house). So got off my arse and walked out to the university garden/park space where they had a bunch of sumo san pounding mochi.
I had seen this happen last year, but there are somethings you can never get used to!
These are mostly the sumo san that are in-training...the real ones are much much er...larger.They also gave out free mochi (one with red beans, one with soysaucey breadcrumby coating and another wrapped in dry nori...seaweed...all of which i was so busy eating that i forgot to photograph!)
and there was another line giving out a hearty hearty soup with carrots, radish, konyakku (jelly thing made from some rootcrop) and other things that I can never identify.
and a bloody good reminder that I am indeed...in japan.
