Dogon, the village designated as a world cultural inheritance.

I feel very strange that in Japan and this village the clocks move at the same speed, but we experience time differently.

Each peace of architecture has beautiful form.

A sacrifice!? The wall in which a monkey was confined.

A place where tools for festivals were stocked.

A tool for a waver I found at the house.

Porter and Iri, trusted by their friends. I wonder what will be when they grow up.

The mosque in Djenne, made of soil, is the biggest around this area. They secure a footing with a piece of projecting wood when they need to paint the wall.

The great musician, Salif Keita used to sing in a live-house, located in the center of a huge market in this Bamako.

The basic designed chair in Mari. I found it in Bamako. A piece of wood is put into another. Very simple but comfortable!!

Make a fire with charcoal by the road. Boil water and enjoy some tea. Very nice and comfortable. A suitable kettle and teapot, and a beautiful portable stove.

A kettle I found a huge market in Bamako. Red and White, Purple and White, blue and Red.... Bold stripes are cute! Well, this is made of plastic! I wonder how we could use them....

Arts in the city

It's so fun to find out new things when you walk in towns.
Osaka city, Tokyo city, Kyoto, Nara, some far cities abroad ....
Show flutter and magical arts we found in those cities. Imagine yourself taking a walk with us, and have fun.
