Apparently, I had the hidden talent of putting these white styrofoam caps on pears.
I capped almost 500 pears in one day.
My hands were so tired that I didn't want to hold my fork at dinner.

| The Japanese word for pear is "nashi" |
 |
| nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi nashi |

| In addition to 8 varieties of pears, Shoko's family also raises grapes, persimmon, tangerines, and most of the common vegetables. |
