We visited open air festival of the PASAR MOON Guest House in Misumi Beach, Hamada City, Shimane, Japan. This festival was organized by my friend Marron. It was so good music live performance, visual decorating works, location and situation. We stayed 3 days but festival had 1 week. We carried tarp, tent, table, chair, bike and driftwood on the small car and 3.5 hour drive from Kitakyushu. It was became down the temp 22 degrees into Chugoku mountain path the Yamaguchi City because midnight. We arrived at Misumi area before sunrise. We got good sea view camping area outside of the festival entrance. I'm so tired because tent and tarp building does not sleep. Already few stuff living here with building party. Few wild people were get up and walk around  the sea. We could not sleep because strong sunshine also temp going up. I got into the sea early morning. The water is very clear but little bit big wave.

The Mt. Nuki Trek with The Bike



We live in the foot in Mt. Nuki. Mt. Nuki is a high mountain representing Kokura-minami-ku. It is 712 m in altitude. The form of Mt. Nuki has the shape of a beautiful cone like Mt. Fuji. Mt. Nuki is connected with Hiraodai. Hiraodai is a karst plateau famous for Kitakyushu written by front post of this blog. To Hiraodai of the quality of a limestone, Mt. Nuki is quality of a granite and the origins completely differ. It is said that Mt. Nuki carried out sedimentary intrusion by volcanic activity, and the fossil of the sea medium maturing thing in the limestone of Hiraodai has dissolved by the heat conversion after the Hirao stand is generated. It is contrastive with Akiyoshidai of the Yamaguchi prefecture producing many fossils. The Edo period and this area were called Kiku. Since Japanese people liked Mt. Fuji, they called it Kiku Fuji. It was a big mistake. My leg cannot yet be moved by muscular pain.

There are two mountain-climbing courses. It is a course reached from Hiraodai, and a course reached from Nuki area. Before, I have reached from Hiraodai, in order to see sunrise on New Year's Day. Every day, Mt. Nuki can be seen from the window of our house. I regarded 712 m as low. I said to the wife, "A bicycle is shouldered and I reach it."

I filled the spare T-shirt, Fleece jacket, a legless chair, rainproof jacket, and a snack in the rucksack. My equipment is cotton mountain hat, cotton T-shirt, stretch pants of corduroy, cotton socks, polarized sunglass with a lens, and crocs sandals.

DOPE EYE "DEAD BIKE"

The body of especially vicious lusterless black. The cheap cross bike bought on-line. It was dressed up with the sticker of DOPEEYE. The frame of this bike is iron. The handle grip was changed into the lime green of the scull design. In Japan, the frame of the iron is called chromium molybdenum. But, chromium molybdenum unites iron and carbon and is raising hardness. If a bicycle is hard, it will not absorb a shock. If it becomes an accident, a frame will break.

Photo: Hida mountains aka Northern Alps in Japan



This is an Abou peak which is a border between prefectures in Gifu Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture. Altitude is 1790 m. The No. 158 line which escapes from between an Akandana mountain and Abou mountains. I wanted to see the Alps, Japan, after which it was yearning from already. Since I was poor at mountain climbing, I reached to the place which can go by car. The road in Nagano had poor pavement and its run was severe. I expected the beauty of the Alps. But, the Akandana mountain was a very big active volcano. It was the far devastated mountain that it is beautiful. The rock had exposed the surface of a mountain. Trees were felled by the landslide. Steam had blown and come out from the everywhere of a mountain. It seemed to be hell. We were surprised at the signboard written to be explosion cautions. Soon, it came to the Abou road of the charged tunnel. But, we climbed the Abou peak which is an old road. That is because I wanted to enjoy a mountain fully. The Abou peak had steep slope uphill and hairpin curve. The infernal scene disappeared gradually. The mountain range on which the snow which does not disappear in the distance was put could be seen. When the summit of the mountain of the peak was crossed and it went into Gifu Prefecture, scenes completely differed. It is this photograph. The scene of the Japan Alps which I expected was this.

Topic: ASTROLOUNGE STORE at OSHINO DEAD

We opened a shop to the festival "OSHINO DEAD" of DEAD HEADS in Japan. OSHINO DEAD is a festival which deifies GRATEFUL DEAD and Jerry Garcia. A location is the foot in Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture. We passed through a long, long trip like a road movie. The band performance cover of Grateful Dead. It is a small live event of few Dead Heads in Japan unfolded over three days. We attached handmade careers to the small car, carried camp goods, stacked two bicycles, and came here. I put the T-shirt of DOPE EYE on the market. The wife put the accessories of handmade crochet on the market. It became study although the result was not so good. It is better to have become cloudy since sunlight is strong although it was seldom fine. A vast forest and rich nature have spread in Asagiri Highland of the foot in here Mt. Fuji. There were few insects compared with Kyushu. There is no mosquito. It was raining and raining. Since the ground was muddy soon. I thought that I would like to see a band called MajesticCircus in which the member of Jamband called BIG FROG has participated. As for BIGFROG, I drew the poster of tour in the past. Majestic Circus performed my favorite song "Dancin' in the Streets" in the Grateful Dead; As long as I remembered, the band was not performs our favorite song "Ripple". However, since "Rippl" was sung by the nightly acoustic live by Old Dead Heads which lived in the next tent, we were glad. Oshino Dead have some restaurant and some miscellaneous goods store.

Custom Painted Coleman Two Burner 413H




This Two Burner is custom-made which I painted. The reason applied to the yellow body is that Coleman had put the stove of the yellow body on the market by collaboration with some company. The burner had scarcity value, and since it was a high price, I did custom-made stripes. Although the body of 413H which I purchased in medieval times is a little rusty, it is in good condition.

DOPE EYE "Fishing & Outdoor High Equipment" Decal

I designed Decal of Dope Eye. Psychedelic various items demonstrate the power in the field of outdoor. This mark expresses eyes in the state that the pupil opens. In the open pupil, the light that reflects in the light of the sun and the pond of the evening shines on fish. An ardent drug believer doesn't mistake the usage. It is necessary to use psychedelic to unite naturally like the peyote used to pray of American Indian originally. Moreover, Ayahuasca include DMT that amazone shaman use for treatment and ceremony. Cannabis more than alcohle in India as holy ceremony of Hinduism. It is a ceremony to unite all with the god named natural and to harmonize, and the small enjoyment of the people who are affluent. I like bass fishing and fly fishing. Therefore, I want Bass Angler and fly fisherman's people to use this decal. In tomorrow's fishing, let's float the rowboat on the lake, and roll joint including high quality budz. Your dog and wife are waiting in the pavilioned lake side. Let's grill the chiffon cake and the pie with a Dutch oven making warm chai. It is invited to the smell and the animal in the forests come near. Let's get from nature and worship some bass and beautiful sunshine in the evening. Let's drip coffee that roast for myself, and eat bassb fillet steamed with the olive oil and white wine. Let's make the Indian curry made from the chicken, tomato, and onion for tomorrow morning.
