Podcast programme is starting soon, and a lot of fun!!

MOMOCHIYO-what does it mean?

I changed my name recently. My real name is very Japanese, which means hard to pronounce for English speaking people!!

I love my name, MOMOCHIYO. MOMO means peach in Japanese. Peach is a fruit which is served for God. There is a famous story "MOMOTARO" in Japan. The story is about a boy who was born from a gigantic peach!!

CHIYO means forever. In Japanese national anthem, there is a phrase "Chiyo ni Yachi yo ni". Beautiful!

And also, there is a saying "Bear fruit"!

I am really hoping MOMOCHIYO's music reach you so that you can taste it!!

Kimono flautist found!!!

Today, I found "kimono" flautist in the city!!

I collect "flautist" figures!! Yes, there is an elephant, a monkey, a mouse....

But this is the very fist one wearing kimono!!

Back home!

I just got back from Japan. About 2 months stay. I had a lot of amazing experiences.

We went to 7 days trip! We visited Ise, Kumano, Nara, Kyoto... We visited so many shrines! (I am very keen shrine lover!)

I would love to share photos from the trip...

Let's start from Kyoto!!
In kyoto, I was so lucky to meet real Maiko and Geisha san! I was so excited, because it was the very first to time to see them!!

It was pity however I couldn't see their obi! It is winter, they need to wear coats....
