Everything my Okaasan does, it seems like she always has a smile on her face. These next pictures are ones I took of my Okaasan as we were talking after dinner. I asked her if I could take a few pictures of her and she agreed whole heartedly after I tried to explain why I was taking them in Japanese. Usually after dinner, I would practice my Japanese with both my Okaasan and Otoosan, who are both very patient and willing to help me try to learn Japanese. This night though, the television was on and the program we were watching was about a family who was really obsessed about the Hansin Tigers. My Okaasan was a little shocked to see all the Tigers merchendise the family had. The two of us were calling the family huge Hansin Tigers otaku, since that was the best way I could describe them in Japanese to my Okaasan. In the end, my Okaasan was happy with the amount of Japanese I spoke to her that night.
Host mothers are a great source of information - and a great choice for the portrait assignment. You provide a nice description. She certainly doesn't look 70!
