Chikuhodo released Silver Fox brushes in September.
FO 1 and 5, powder and eyeshadow brushes, are currently out of stock, and I was informed by Chikuhodo that they could produce the brushes this weekend.
I will keep you updated, and sorry for the delay to those who have ordered.——————————————–
Strong typhoon was all over Japan last weekend. Currently, Rugby World Cup is played all over Japan. Those players from 20 countries have experienced the typhoon as well.
Some games were canceled, and players and fans were disappointed but with these damages, that may have not been avoided. Fans’ life is important.
There was a nice story after the typhoon passed and damaged all over. Canadian team helped the city of Kamaishi, a small town in Tohoku, with cleaning the dirt. The news was spread all over Japan, and people were so moved and thankful. They say the champion of Rugby is Canadian team
Sports or travels, I think it great to mingle with local people. Not easy, especially a language barrier. And I think it needs a little bit of courage as well, but most of Japanese people will be happy to meet and talk. Maybe some are too friendly for a language lesson..e.g. a friend of mine has talked to tourists in Tokyo more than 10 times..
Canadian team in Yukata. Yukata can be worn in Ryokan, a traditional Japanese style hotel.
I had a general knowledge of rugby and this time I researched more. I will write more about how Japan team is made of this time. A half of them were foreign-born, in my next newsletter.

Hi Everyone,
A big typhoon hit Japan, directly Tokyo.
I had many messages if I was ok when the typhoon hit Tokyo.
Thank you very much. Some regions had more damages than Tokyo, and more than 60 people died…..The typhoon hit Tokyo on Saturday night.
It landed Shizuoka first, and moved to Tokyo. Tokyo faces the sea but it is a bay so usually safe from the sea disaster. eg. Tsunami. The Shizuoka sea was wild like this,Maybe some of you know ‘Hakone’, a hot spring place. Hakone had the heaviest rain this time.
This typhoon brought heavy rain. Very very heavy.
Many rivers in the east were flooded, and houses near those rivers were inundated.I live near the Tama River, which was also flooded. There were baseball fields next to the river, now they were completely under water. This picture was taken by a friend on Sunday. This place is 20 minutes by bicycle from my place.
As I grew up in Japan, I have been used to typhoons. My father always said, ‘it is a big one this time,’ but mostly, those typhoons turned out to be ‘not so big.’
I was optimistic this time as well. This time, it was BIG. Even Shibuya people were told to move to shelters, but it seemed that people were afraid to move out of houses. Rain was more than expected. The Shibuya Crossing was empty , and no trains.
It was 7pm when it hit Tokyo. Most scary was when an earthquake hit at night. It was gone quickly, but if it was big, that would have caused big damages as people were not able to get out of a house easily
The sky got clear on Sunday. We call it ‘Taifu Ikka.’ (台風一過）that means next day a typhoon passes, very clear sky will come back. This time was no exception. After midnight, the sky was like this.
I will write a part 2 tomorrow,
Thank you for reading,

Hi Everyone,
Typhoon is approaching Tokyo and it is said to a big one.
It is 3pm in Japan now and Typhoon is in south of Tokyo.Japan is a country with mountains and rivers so with a big typhoon, rivers are flooded and houses on the mountains face dangers. In Tokyo, most trains are not running, and department stores are closed all day today.
Both of baseball playoffs, though played in Dome, Tokyo Dome and Seibu Dome, were called off. Even though it is in-house baseball, people cannot come to a stadium.
This is a picture of Shizuoka.
Maybe blog time.
The problem is that I cannot write only by sitting. I walk around and come back to writing and walk…But I cannot get out of home today.
So I decided to check Netflix and came across a movie called
‘Stand by me.’I have heard of the movie and music, and that young Kiefer Sutherland was acting. But never seen it myself.
Maybe many of you watched this movie, and liked it.
A story of four 12 year boys’ adventure, and growing up during the two days. Some people grow up gradually and some grow up after experiencing one incident. It is said to be a story of the author, Stephen King.In the ending scene, one boy asked his friend
‘I’m never gonna get out of this town, am I?’
His friend said ‘you can do anything you want, man’I was asking this question many times when I was a boy in a rural town of Hiroshima… I should remember it even now and going forward.
‘I can do anything I want’Now checking news, the typhoon is coming to Tokyo at 9pm.
Will write more tomorrow,Thank you for reading,
Toshiya
