It was very hot today.
There is once a year festival of the nearby shrine. From the morning we prepared foods for the people who carry the portable shrine called omikoshi (御神輿) , play music called ohayashi (お囃子), and lead them and so on. We started preparing around 8:30 AM and they arrived 11:20 AM or so.
Last year a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Shinjiro Koizumi (小泉進次郎) visited there and we took a picture together. I thought he would come this year too, so I brought the picture, a copy of my blog of the last year, and my book. And he came. I handed them and we took another picture. This year he was wearing a special coat called happi (法被), which we wear at the festival.
This year I asked him to give me an autograph. He wrote "Where there is a will, there is a way" in Chinese characters with his name and date. That was nice. I hope to have a phrase like this when I write my autograph.
