Here in Sendai, hot weather has still continued. How is the weather in your states these days ? While we complain about hot weather, autumn is approaching, and the harvest of rice has started. As you know, rice is our staple food, and it is expected to have a good harvest this year.

So, I feel very comfortable by looking at golden ears of rice waving in the rice field.

I very much appreciate your interest in Kokeshi Dolls. The photos of Kokeshi Dolls selected from my collection are put onto the SCNS Web site by cooperation of our members.

Jean, thank you for your idea about fixing the Kokeshi Dolls on the shelf. I will try it soon.

Bernie, I hope you have a nice trip to Italy, and look forward to having your trip report. Kazumi.
