enjoying the mood
of old Goemon -
summer in the village
Ishikawa Goemon (石川 五右衛門)
(1558 - October 8, 1594) was a semi-legendary Japanese outlaw hero who stole gold and valuables and gave them to the poor.
Goemon is notable for being boiled alive along with his son in public after a failed assassination attempt on the civil war-era warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
A large iron kettle-shaped bathtub is now called a goemonburo ("Goemon bath").
His legend continues to live on, often with greatly exaggerated ninja skills, in contemporary Japanese popular culture.

We have a goemonburo in our garden too.

It’s very funny photos, Gabi san. ^-^
Bernd san makes everything cleverly, doesn’t he?
That’s very good job!
The same hearth as this was used at my parents’ home
in my childhood.
It reminded me of my old home sweetly. ♪
Overlooking a far mountain range, how is the bath, Haiku kun?

(goemon no kibun yoroshi ya sato no natsu)
goemon omitted goemon-buro: means Japanese old form
of bathtub just like he getting in.
Your photos stirred my nostalgia softly.
Thank you very much, Gabi san!

Lovely photos, lovely story, Gabi san! Wish I were there to enjoy haiku and haiku kun and perhaps even a barbecue -- and OF COURSE the outdoor bath!

You brought a smile:-)
This is charming.

Mind Games.
I spotted Gabi's post, "COOKING A CAT" and jumped down to her opening line where i "read" ...
"our cat is a constant SAUCE of joy and pleasure..."
Probably says something about me that I really do not want to know:-)
Super picture, Gabi.
