This is a long shot, but... does anyone know anywhere that sells English Kamishibai?

Further to my latest post, I thought it would be no harm to ask here either: does anyone know anywhere you can get English kamishibai? The post / about Kamishibai: https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/Saitama/wZxvz-living_education_saitama

    Not exactly an answer to your question, but something interesting. My kids once received English kamishiba from a restaurant as their toy that comes with the kids meal. It had katakana and Japanese translation as well.

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
