Bad day for Wakana, stayed in bed once we got home from the hospital. I fear she will need the surgery.

Supper tonight was homemade sushi. We had inara sushi and the futaki (?). Inara is a rice ball stuffed inside fried tofu. It was very tasty. I am doing very well with chopsticks.

And, today, I asked my first question in Japanese. I pointed to a building and asked my father-in-law, "Ale wa nan desuka?" (What is that?) It turned out to be the Ohtawara community center named, fittingly enough, Harmony Hall.
