Lights.

Last night i went to check out the lights at Haruna San (Mt Haruna). Pretty cool. Freezing cold -10 or so with wind chill around -15. Was cool to see these things called Daruma (a hollow, round, Japanese doll modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism). There is also a folk story or ledgend if you will... That the lost their arms and legs for some reason... Lies they say but nun the less quite interesting. They are also know as a symbol of good luck and perseverance.
