Every person who travels abroad usually purchases souvenirs to bring back home. When I pick up some souvenirs in Japan, instead of choosing random or good-looking ones for myself, I look for ones with a special meaning for the Japanese culture. Thus, I can tell stories when I’m back home! In this photo story, I want to show some of my special souvenirs and explain their meaning.
