There’s not a lot new in my world lately. I haven’t been out and about very much this week for no particular reason except that the weather hasn’t been cooperating. It’ hasn’t been too cold or too rainy, just rather overcast and with a bit of an overall haze/smog which is a bit depressing and not conducive to sightseeing and picture taking.

So, today I decided to I walk with my hubby to the train station. On the way, we made a detour through the park to see what looked like a whole school of children out for recess.

. It was quite a sight! All the kids wear hats in a color assigned to their class or age group and there was a sea of colorful caps in the park with the joyful sound of children playing in the background. It just made me smile!

Here are some of the kids just hanging out.

Tomorrow is a Showa day, a national holiday to commemorate the birthday of a former emperor and part of Golden Week in Japan, so maybe the teachers decided to give everyone a break for the morning. The kid’s were sure having fun!
