ANABUKI






My little town of Anabuki is part of a small series of towns along the Yoshinogawa ("gawa" means river).  The Anabuki river flows in from the north - it is so clear - the locals all claim it is the cleanest river on this lovely island of Shikoku.  The weather is HOT and humid, and I heard today that by contrast the winter is quite cold.   Bamboo trees have a feather-like quality and gives a soft, relaxing feel when I take in the view outside my window (which is half-blocked by a huge rockpile).  Here are a few pics of the area so I don't have to write their thousand-word counterparts in text!

Do the salmon spawn up the Anabukigawa?
