For context: this may be because of the wildfires currently raging close to Ofunato, rain could help to contain the contemporaneous fires but also hydrate vegetation and potentially reduce the risk of forest fires over the coming warmer months

For some reason this picture reminds me of a story someone wrote here on PH, not long after the founding of the site.

 

The story was about a boy who lived in a village where the villagers set traps for bears. In secret the boy let the trapped bears free. One snowy night he followed a shooting star and climbed too high up a tree. He fell and broke his leg, fearing that he would die in the woods alone in the cold, the boy cried. He saw eye shine through the trees, from the shadows bear emerged and they took the boy with them until he was healed. In the springtime the boy goes back to his village, but the villagers are alarmed that he has returned, and they chase him away. It seems like an allegorical tale told in folk style.

 

Does anyone else recall the story? I cannot find it now but I remember it quite well and thought that it was rather beautiful in its simplicity

Ubutan trains very hard to become as strong as his big brother Yuzu. The poor Poohs!

Origin has been terribly missed. It is doubtful if it will return, but it will always be remembered with great affection.

 

It seems that memories of the performances hold a substantial amount of painful feelings for Yuzu. Many Fanyus also recall the pain on Yuzu's behalf and the injustice towards him as well.
