Earth/Hemp Festival
Yesterday afternoon there was an environmental friendly expo/gala supporting a cleaner planet Earth. For whatever reason this resulted in the promotion of hemp products in an open marketplace outside of Yoyogi Park.
Organic grown fruits and vegetables were on display and were obtainable for a hefty price (as usual). Japan unfortunately doesn't have enough real estate to create an excessive amount of farm land so many fruits and vegetables are grown and harvested with the use of chemicals.
I have no idea what this means. Your guess is as good as mine. Cleaning makes us smile? Smiles make us clean? Go Engrish go!
Hemp balls were created and attached to one another to create somewhat of a noisemaker effect. I'm sure there's a proper name for them but since I'm not a hemp specialist I'll just refer to them as hemp balls. I belive the top two rows of the hemp balls are advertising Jamaican colours. Probably just a coincidence... right?
Hemp panchos, shirts, pants, shoes, and hats were all on sale but for an outrageous price. Some of the hats I looked at cost up to ¥14,000 ($140). While I'm still in the market for a cool looking hat I think puff puff passing on the hemp ones was a good idea.
This dude was masterfully melting and molding glass into ornaments, accessories, and tiny key chains. I thought his open flame was dangerously close to his hemp sheets behind him but he appeared to be indifferent. Also, he was sporting a pair of Ray Ban's instead of protective goggles. Wicked cool.
