7.15pm tanuki outside a restaurant in Yokkaichi. Note the large testicles. I only learnt this week that tanuki, raccoon-dogs, are real creatures. But they are also creatures of folklore who roam the forests drinking sake and try to seduce young maidens by passing as noblemen.

5pm It may be time for me to leave. I am developing some scary otaku tendancies. This morning I went to the combini to buy candy for my class, I left with candy and a box containing a Blythe 'prize'. There are six 'prizes' and there is no way to tell which 'prize' your box contains until you open it. I loved my "Please Plie" prize so that on the way home I dropped into the combini to buy a second box, this time "Bunny Black". Only four more to go. . . .
