Boy's/Children's Day 2012-- Sweets

Aunt brought these sweets to Little Brother (age 16) for Boy's Day or Children's Day. This shop's logo is actually our family crest.

At Great-grandfather's funeral 17 years ago, there was a family crest on a banner hanging at our front gate. Big Sister said, "Upside-down Mickey!"

Everyone laughed that sad day. She was only 3 and doesn't remember.
