From Japan to SL

  

From The world of Yana, a beautiful page which is introducing many beautiful spots in SL, visited Kido Go Club.

Not only Go game boards, there are many cool game rooms with beautiful surroundings. This one is at the top of mountain, open air room with falling snow. It could be too cool in RL but this is one of the good settings only possible in SL.




There are more than ten game spots mostly as a private room, but this one has five tables. Is this a lesson room?




There were players from China and Russia. They seemed to be excellent players and I was not able to stop watching. When I was a child my father naggingly taught me Go, but there was no person to play with and I have not played since then. I asked a Chinese player to play with me and he said I have some aptitude. Shall I start learning again…

  

It is not very nice to put many pictures only, so I set some frames. These were set for a while but I think there were few visitors.




I made the frame gray since white was too strong, but it did not work since there was no feel of material or translucency.




I made columns using texture from a picture I took at the Hermitage Museum but it was also a flop. It might be inadequate to depict a column only with a flat texture, but it is also impossible to put so many objects… There is other difficulty to use prims since they should be vanished when looking back from the distance.




Finally I put them back. If you are interested in the picture layout, please visit. One hundred and thirty pictures are presented. The great Baba photo exhibition had 260 pictures, Edo exhibition was 150, so 130 is good number for a private gallery.

I miss the old site where many yachts can be set and there were abundant prims available. Once I made a gallery I felt attachment and did not make remodeling for a long period, but I should have tried various things.

  

Last Saturday at Baba was still enjoying the New Year’s holidays. While talking about an earthworm found in a fast-food, many fishes came out.




In earlier times, fishing was popular and there were many fishing piers. If a boat was built, it was possible to fish anyplace and someone started fishing in a dance hall. Together with footbath and raising hoses, fishing is one of things slowing down in SL. There might be more…

  

The holidays were over and soon comes Feast of the Seven Hearts of Health (January 7). This year I skipped New Year’s visit to a shrine. At Baba, usually we visited a shrine together, but this year Kazumi made her own home shrine. She said she made it last night. Since it was built in the forest at the back, it looks as if an entrance of a haunted forest.

Crooked front approach to the shrine through a forest. A bit inclined shrine gates are somewhat eery.




The shrine on the fringe of the forest. It is convenient to be able to get a paper fortune while sitting in Kotatsu (a small table with a heater underneath and covered by a quilt). I repeated it until I get the excellent luck. Sorry about that I did not make an offering although Kazumi has been providing Baba meeting area through the year free of charge.



If you skipped the New Year’s visit, it is now or never. Also there are many shrines introduced in The World of Yana which is one of my favorite pages.
