I would just like to let you know how enjoyable I find these videos. I get to see a part of Japan and it’s culture that no one else shows. I find the footage engrossing and fascinating and a wonderful way to see more of your country. Top class work. 👍🙏❤️
I could even imagine living there. The neighborhood somehow has its own special charm and character. Located away from the hustle and bustle of the center, where everyone knows everyone. Somewhere you will find a small family restaurant, a small snack shop or a small bistro where you can relax for a while. The area that has been a little forgotten over time, but still invites you to do laps after work or at the weekend or to have a little chat with your friends and neighbors.
Mulțumesc pentru acest video! Ai reușit un lucru extraordinar - să putem vedea acea parte din Tokio care este mai aproape de inima tuturor! Salutări din România!
@29:45, It is not uncommon to see statues of Ninomiya in or in front of Japanese schools, especially elementary schools. Typically they show him as a boy reading a book while walking and carrying firewood on his back. These statues depict popular stories that said Ninomiya was reading and studying every moment he could. There is a reference to him in the novel Obasan by Joy Kogawa. The father often tells the story of Ninomiya Sontoku to his children, relating how "Up early to the mountains for wood before the rooster calls 'ko-ke-kok-ko!' He studies and works every day to feed his baby brother and his mother. That is how he becomes the great teacher, Ninomiya Sontaku of Odawara, Japan." [2]
