My Aunt Setsuko owned a second house with a tennis court in Suzuka. My friends and I met there to play tennis over several years during the so called Golden Week in May when we could take several days off from work.

_ds191026173322.jpg Tsuwano, Santa Maria Chapel built in 1951. In 1867, the Christians in Nagasaki were sent to various parts of Japan to be punished and tortured. 153 were sent to Tsuwano to a temple named Korinji. By 1870, 37 had died but those who survived were sent back to Nagasaki when the new Meiji government declared freedom of religion in 1873. The chapel was built to commemorate those who died suffering.  |

In 1973, in the bus on the way back from Mexico, I met a Japanese guy who worked in a dairy farm in Niigata. I went to visit him at the farm but I cannot remember the year. What I remember is that I was not able to see the cows for fear visiters bring diseases.
