THIS IS NOT A FLEA MARKET! Its a Matsumoto tradition and a fine craft fair known across Japan! I have to say: There are no resellers here its all original hand made and one of a kind stuff.
The Annual Craft Fair in Agata-no-mori on its traditional last weekend in May is always a really nice event with a pleasant atmosphere. Its a real family affair and child-friendly. There is plenty of space to sit down on the grass and have a picnic, and watch the world go by. This event seems to be getting bigger every year. There are many more vendors and the park is positively bulging with visitors looking for something special to take home.
The stalls here offer everything you could possibly imagine at a craft fair and then some. Some things you might expect: the knick-knacks and trinkets, beads and bracelets, from toys to furniture, cloth, clothes and fabrics, incense, candles and one of kind hand bags and shoes. Would you expect to find a working metal smith or a glass blower? Right there! Need a straw brush or bamboo works, hand made fabrics and beautiful Japanese pottery, ceramics, glass and fine carpentry. I even saw a clock maker and some one of a kind hand made watches! Theres a tent for everyone. Not sure what to get for that impressive birthday gift? Look no further! Wander about and have a look around. You will need some yen though, bargains are few & far between. All of the craft workers here are professionals not hobbyists. Cash baby cash!
As for food there are a few tents that offer coffee, beer, ice cream and awesome curry! There was even a person making candy sculptures that were quite amazing and a shame to eat.
To get there: Head away from Matsumoto station on the main street (eki mae dori) and keep walking for about 20mins - until you can go no further. Its a strait shot right out of the main exit at the station.
Check out the city website here its super gaijin friendly and packed with whats up in Matsumoto:

I’m back for another tour of my Japanese apartment. Only this time- it’s bigger!

Written about a ferral child who was flushed into the normal life only to be driven insane by the everyday actions that we take to be the norm.
LYRICS
Return to life
Youd scratch your eyes given the chance
Life leads a lowly grail with no romance
You cant feel right
You cant feel wrong
Lonely to you be just more than a word
When sheer isolation is more than you long for
You cant feel chance
You cant feel fait
Chr
In so many ways
Your number
So unlucky
As you face lifes waves
Wants of the masses be just this and that
What dya hope for when seeing is believing
You cant feel coins
You cant feel cash
Your only expression be un-guilty fear
Howd you get in when you dont belong here
You cant feel love and
You cant feel hate
Starting out again

Japanese high school girls practicing Kyudo “way of the bow” archery. These girls are members of a local high school Kyudo club in Shizuoka City, Japan.
One of the purposes of Kyudo archery is to help the archer clear the mind of worldly distractions. The precise moves and extraordinary discipline required to master the Japanese bow are thought to lead one down a path of discovery not easily traversed amidst the clutter and tangle of life’s myriad dramas and events. It has been said of Kyudo that the sound of a precisely placed arrow puncturing the paper target should awaked the archer from the dream which is life.

About a month ago I had my first trip to the Japanese countryside. I went to rural Osaka Prefecture and visited the village of Shimogauchi, where my mother-in-law grew up. It was amazing and beautiful. Absolute night and day from the city life of Japan that I know. There are some amazing vlogs about life in rural Japan.
