Mai Zenin Acrylic Keychain Shodo Manufacturer: ???
not even sure if that’s even a licensed acrylic keychain, but meh… needed more, MORE collectibles of her!!! muhahahahahaw!!! and yee, this is a cute one, of her doing a Shodo or Japanese Calligraphy in that cute stance that I believed will never happen from her ^^'
ahem, anyway, continuing that weird series… bringing her to my fav childhood playground, that just recently I noticed they got an English name for this area, which is Kyoto’s Philosopher’s Path, lmao!!! IDK,I just knew this place as an area where I spend most of my time to play or getting a me time during my childhood (yee, I already weird as a kid). in the family, we called it tetsugaki no michi, and usually they say I will be in this area in late afternoon, think of an NPC location in any RPG, haha!
during last decade, it’s getting harder and harder for me to visit this area, since most of the time, it’s PACKED with tourists,
especially before the covid pandemic, this area been like one of the most famous area for any tour or just tourists in general, rarely had a chance to enjoy it as I used to during my childhood.. then again, during my last visit after the pandemic, it turns out the area been kinda emptier and not swarmed by tourist as it used to be… I badly got a mixed feeling about this.. on one side, I got some alone+quite time again in this area, but on the other, it just showed the effect of pandemic to Kyoto’s tourism, sigh
bringing her back 2/5
