#Osaka Celebrates Star Festival with River of 40,000 LED Lights Evoking the Milky Way
Guided friends-of-a-friend, professors in Mumbai, through subways and trains mainly to Ōsaka Castle.
They did their homework, reading my latest article at https://japanned.hcommons.org/japanology and knowing about my family.
I was abashed to receive gifts, because when I guide people around Kyōto or Ōsaka, I pay my own way, and I like to help people unconditionally.
Incidentally, Happy Tanabata, Japan's Star Festival on 7/7. Especially children write wishes on strips of washi (Japanese paper), then attach them to sprigs of bamboo.
For Tanabata I once wrote a simple bilingual haiku, published in the Shikoku regional newspaper (四国新聞), 5-7-5 syllables in Japanese:
七夕や 望を乗せる 笹の舟
Tanabata ya nozomi o noseru sasa no fune
English version:
Wishes riding
A bamboo boat
To the stars

The #cherry #blossom viewing season is not quite here, but there are varieties different from the roughly 90% that are decorative Somei-Yoshino sakura. I heard about a little-known spot for viewing Kawazu sakura (河津桜) that are in full bloom, to the south of Kyoto City in Yodo. It turned out to be like many strips along small rivers or canals that provide greenery and relief for urban people in #Japan. But this one in Yodo was over a kilometer and full of flowering trees and various plants. It is a canal between two rivers, and I found out that the wide Yodo River that runs into #Osaka Bay comes from three rivers - the Kamogawa, Ujigawa, and Kizugawa - that flow down from the mountains around #Kyoto and merge in Yodo to form the Yodogawa. On a Sunday there were many visitors taking Instagrammable photos, including young #Japanese female #cosplayers in Western fairy tale outfits, foreign residents and tourists. Enjoy colorful photos of Kawazu sakura, regular #sakura, and #magnolia (木蓮).

I’m at Haneda airport, about to fly home after having an outstanding time in Japan all week. I honestly haven’t missed social media (or the internet in general, beyond checking the weather and looking at map info) at all.
I’m not one to publicly document my travels, but I will say this country, its culture, and its people, are incredible. I can’t wait to return someday. There are lessons here, good and bad, for all of us.

One of our half-Japanese sons had a long weekend, so he went 1,800 kilometers from #Tokyo to Miyakojima for scuba diving. On the way back he stopped by to meet us in #Osaka. Nearly every weekend he seems to travel. He used to like traveling for pleasure, study, business, or charity around #Asia. Recently his work has brought him to NYC, Seattle, and my home town of Boston (a dream come true for me). Next he is headed on business to Paris and London, and will have a chance to sightsee as well. After studying systems engineering at #Ritsumeikan University, he has had an incredible career. In Japan it is rare for someone to have skills in both #IT and foreign #languages. Because of our son's English, for example, he speaks for his global company to executives of one of the world's top companies. My greatest pleasure is having a close family and meeting our sons who are in their early 30s and already so successful.

A #BBC #Travel article by Louise George Kittaka surveys the scenic Setouchi region - seven prefectures that border the Seto Inland Sea (and its many islets):
https://www.bbc.com/storyworks/travel/reintroducing-japan-ten-regions-endless-discovery/discover-the-eclectic-delights-of-setouchi
My interpretation of ancient #history from in situ research is that the Seto Inland Sea was part of the cradle of #Japanese #civilization in #Yamato (now #Nara), with a major settlement in what is now #Kagawa Prefecture on the nearby island of #Shikoku. Boats later headed for the T'ang Dynasty through the Seto Inland Sea from in front of Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine in #Osaka, now far inland. For those interested, see the encyclopedia article "#Buddhist #Syncretism in #Japan" at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323239561 or https://www.academia.edu/31602407
For would-be travelers, there is a chapter on the Seto Inland Sea (瀬戸内海) in the free Shikoku Bilingual Guidebook at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349683547 or https://www.academia.edu/39949830

38th #academic year in #Japan finished, two more to go! Students and teachers still suffer from the #pandemic, however. Although paid by class hours these days, I spent much time e-mailing individual students, and I helped a student pass by spending extra time on campus in #Osaka.
I'm glad to have joined #Mastodon as an #ethical alternative to #Twitter. It takes some extra steps, but it seems to attract good people in #universities, #IT professions, and #journalism. I am managing the 🦣 groups @OnlineEducation and @Bilingualism that you search for and join, then see and share posts to the group.
Free services like #GoogleScholar are useful for #research. How and why career #academics should set up a #Citation Profile: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322925847
Research #repositories are useful and allow for some interaction, but articles are easier to access if you join (for free). So I hope to see you at https://wilmina.academia.edu/SteveMcCarty (join over 800 followers) or https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Steve-Mccarty (55 recommendations).

Plum blossoms are harbingers of spring in Japan while warmer temperatures can only be imagined. The white ones are more fragrant than the reddish pink ones. The first micro-season of the year for sightseeing spans from buds to blossoms in these photos from the castle ruins park down the street from our house in northern Osaka Prefecture. The header photo atop my profile page is an extraordinary scene of plum blossoms and fallen camellias from the Jonangu shrine in Kyoto, so I'll have to go back there soon. Enjoy!
