election

now, the most popular topics in japan are the substance abuse in the show business and the election of the house of representatives. today is polling day, and my husband and i voted an my city hall.

we are watching the expectation of the poll on tv, may be....the democratic party of japan will win, defeat for present government party (the liberal democratic party) , will change the president of this country again at no distant date. the present president ASO will change to new president HATOYAMA.

well, in japan there is the traditional doll "DARUMA", not drawing one eye on his face (blank). and we draw the new eye on the blank part when win on the election, game, examination, somethings.

this is that DARUMA doll.

and this is the HAKU- DARUMA ;)
i think she is so cute but she looks dislikes wearing her cloths...
please let me have the good news, HAKU♪
