When we did Obon in July (Shun`s family does it by a different calander) I needed a mirror to stop the "bad" spirits attacking the baby.
Anyway sorry to hijack but saw this link today when checking my regular craft blogs and thought it was a cute pattern for a dress that you might like for Sasha - http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/08/how-to_toddler_t-shirt_dress.html?CMP=OTC-5JF307375954
Hope all went well with the haka maeri.Do you get to do fireworks at the gravesides?It's the best part of it for me.Bloody annoying for the ancestors I would think tho'...
just a bewildered american woman stuck in japan with a husband, a boy, a girl and another little boy. if you find my sanity, you can keep it. i don't think i would know what to do with it now!
