Spent the day selling handmade brocade accessories near Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto.
It was getting close to closing time, and the market had already started to quiet down. I honestly thought the day was over.
Then a young couple stopped by our little booth.
They started chatting with my son about Kyoto, school, and the different charms on the table. Somehow the conversation kept going for quite a while, and everyone was laughing together even though our Japanese and English were all mixed up.
Before leaving, they carefully picked out two small charms and a handmade hairpin.
Moments like this make these long market days feel really special.
