A Skilled Maker of Japanese Sweets












These photos were taken in a shop of Japanese sweets or "manjyu" near the hotel where I stayed overnight after hiking last weekend. When I was taking a walk before breakfast, I found it and dropped in it to buy some manju. It makes and sells "shiratama-manjyu" or "steamed rice flour little bun". It is a long-established shop but now it is run by an old lady after her husband was hospitalized about a year ago. She told me that she would keep making manju as long as she could. Before I left there, I asked her to let me photograph her in the workshop. First she declined my request, but after a while she posed for my camera.
