Hi, I’m Deedee! I'd like to show you my favorite places. One of them is my home … if you do really well in this quest, you could get a full-sized version of it! But where is my home? It’s near Kyoto, a city I love. Is this picture your dream of Kyoto?

Japanese people have a strong sense of heritage. This was first built in 1612. After bombing, it was rebuilt. Is this the newest old building in Kyoto? Or the oldest new building? I don’t know, but I’ve perched on the roofs many a time …

Kimonos all have a MEANING. Hoomans think cranes live 1000 years. No, my uncle Kaito only lasted 205! Hoomans think clothes made of plants protect against things plants protect them from. So why don't they walk through nettles in a coat made of dock leaves?

Hoomans in Kyoto love wagasa. Sometimes they are painted with cranes or cherry blossom. Red ones ward off evil spirits. Purple is for long life. White ones are used at funerals. I don’t know what yellow ones mean, but a little yellow one would be just right for me!

North-east of Kyoto is a village called Shirakawa, where my uncle Kaito lives. Some of the farmhouses are 250 years old. The roofs are made without nails and withstand heavy snows. Some houses have silkworms in the attic, but Kaito hasn’t been able to get in and eat any!
