Popular souvenirs from Hiroshima

     I'm from Tokushima and have lived in Tokushima for more than ten years. Therefore I am not so familiar with Hiroshima. Through my college life, I want to get to know more about Hiroshima. In this article, I will write about some famous souvenirs from Hiroshima, for you and myself.

     The first souvenir is "Momiji Manju", a maple leaf-shaped steamed bun. It's no exaggeration to say that this is the most famous souvenir from Hiroshima. There are a lot of various flavors such as chocolate, cream, green tea flavor, and so on. Of the many kinds of flavors, the most popular is the sweet bean jam flavor. When I go to my hometown, I often take some Momiji Manju as souvenirs.

     The second is "Kumano brushes". The brushed are for writing, makeup, and paint, and so on. Kumano brushes have accounted for about 80% of the total domestic production of Japanese brushes.

     The third is "Lemon Cake". In Hiroshima Prefecture, a lot of lemons are produced, so there are many kinds of lemon flavor sweets in Hiroshima. One of them is "Lemon Cake". I have eaten some lemon cakes before, and it was delicious.

      Thank you for the comment!
      All I knew about Kumano brushes was that Nadeshiko Japan was given the brushes as a memento of the People's Honor Award. So, I was surprised at how popular Kumano brushes are, too!

https://www.challenge-zero.jp/jp/casestudy/276      Do you know "artificial photosynthesis"?       "Photosynthesis" means a process to convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy so that plants can make the most of the energy their activities and growth. The chemical energy is stored in the form of hydrocarbons, such as sugars(sucrose, starch, and so on), which are made from carbon dioxide(CO2) in the air and water by using sunlight energy. At the same time, oxygen is often released into the air as one of the by-products.      "Artificial photosynthesis" is, to put it simply, an attempt to reproduce plants' photosynthesis artificially. In other words, any experiments to capture and store the sunlight energy in a solar fuel can be regarded as artificial photosynthesis in a broad sense. Some scientists and engineers expect that, in the future, this technology can solve some global problems with which we are confronted. For example, this technolog

My favorite novel

     Let me introduce my favorite novel. It is "The Woman in the Dunes", written by Abe Kobo.      A middle-aged man went to a dune to catch insects, and then went missing... This is the outline of the novel.      Abe Kobo used graphic, vivid, and lively metaphors. If you read this novel and imagine the scenes from the lines, you may get the feeling as if you were eating dry sand.
