Monday, August 19, 2024

On Friday, August 16th, Himawari no Sato will be packed with events to mark the end of the Sunflower Festival, including the Hokuryu Bon Odori Festival, projection mapping, and fireworks display in the evening!

These magnificent sunflowers fulfill their divine mission while desperately enduring the weight of so many seeds in order to nurture and protect the precious mature seeds!!!

It's a wonderful sight to see voices of gratitude and excitement echoing throughout Himawari Village, saying, "Thank you for all the moving experiences!"

Sunflower Village August 16th (Friday)
頭を重たげにもたげるひまわりさん
Himawari lifts her head heavily
小さなひまわりさんが「おつかれさま!」と見守りながら。。。
Little Sunflower watches over them, saying "Good job!"
天命を全うするかのように。。。
As if fulfilling a divine mission...
優しく包み込む夕陽に感謝をこめて。。。
With gratitude for the gentle sunset that envelops me...
