Donguri
- by darius

At Jitsugyo, I work with a real character named Mr. Tanaka. He's a ton of fun to teach with, and we spend a lot of time chatting in between classes. To the right is a photo of Mr. Tanaka and some students from one of his classes who brought us lunch one day. I mentioned in class that i love sushi, so the girls made several types of sushi, and brought it for us!! So sweet!

Mr. Tanaka introduced me to a childrens song about acorns, called "donguri" Below are the words (translated) for your enjoyment. Also, Mr. Tanaka recorded the song, playing guitar and singing, and it's available in three formats. Check it out!
