July 21, 2023: Watched the movie “Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One” This is the best place to stay comfortably with popcorn & Diet Coke on a very hot day. https://tedsogo2021.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-21-2023-watched-movie-mission.html?m=1

July 18, 2023: Following my father’s story when he was alive, I visited the graves of our “Warlord Ancestors” at the “Sogo Castle Ruins” in Kagawa. I met with the chairman of the “Sogo Family Association” and learned about the history of the Sogo family and the origin of the family crest. https://tedsogo2021.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-18-2023-following-my-fathers-story.html?m=1 Kazumasa Sogo, a warlord in the Sengoku period, seems to be a samurai that is becoming popular among young history fans today because of his strength. According to the chairman, “Sogo Sengoku Castle Festival” will be held in November this year. Mr. Nobuyasu Sogo, Chairman of the “Sogo Family Association” July 18, 2023: MARINE LINER between Okayama and Kagawa Sogo Castle Ruins in Kagawa  < My roots of “Bushido” > https://www.slideshare.net/TETSUYASOGO/sogo-castle-ruins-in-kagawa

July 17, 2023: Had the opportunity to tour the interior of the "Tower of the Sun" in Expo Park 1970, Osaka. The slogan "Progress and Harmony for Mankind" at that time carried a strong message and served to promote Japan's economic growth. However, I feel that the Osaka Expo 2025 lacks a strong message representing Japan for the future. https://tedsogo2021.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-17-2023-tower-of-sun-in-expo-park.html?m=1

July 6, 2023: At Osaka Castle Park, I visited a museum exhibiting figurines of Kaiyodo, an Osaka-based company that is attracting attention from around the world for its elaborate and dynamic modeling expressions. With the main concept of "transmitting the appeal of Japanese pop culture through figures", more than 3,000 figurines of various genres, ranging from palm-sized to human-sized, were on display, and most of the visitors were from overseas. https://tedsogo2021.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-6-2023-kaiyodo-figure-museum.html?m=1 The weather in Osaka was very nice today!! July 8, 2023: Visited the inside of Osaka Castle and had a panoramic view of the Osaka Plain. There were many exhibits about Hideyoshi Toyotomi and his times. July 12-13: 2023: Kaiyodo Headquarters & Hobby Land in Kadoma, Osaka
