Souvenirs
Big Sister bought a paper parasol for her souvenir. I was surprised (and proud) to see her using it while she walked around the Ainokura village. I thought that was pretty cool for a 14 year old girl.
Little Brother bought one of these for himself and one for a friend. They are mascots. They're about the size of my palm. They're too big to be used as keychains. Kids hang these kinds of things on their randoseru or school bag.
Little Brother also got these. You place the thin stick between your palms, spin it, and let go. They fly up into the sky. We have one that was Papa's. You can find them everywhere, but I had never seen them with dragonfly wings and eyes.
