Old Japanese Orange Storage Shed

Just a short and simple video to share an old building I found in the mountains around Shizuoka City, Japan. I ran into a local farmer earlier in the day who told me about the purpose of these old wooden buildings which are used to store picked oranges before they are brought to market.

The video is awesome! I really liked how you put it all together so that the transition is smooth. Can you teach me how to do that? lol

Hi Chick6517, Thanks for the kind words. Regarding the segment transitions: these are actually very easy to do if you have some video editing software (some cameras include such software installed). I use an inexpensive program called PowerDirector (produced by CyberLink) which has limited functionality yet is quite suitable to my simple needs. I hope that this helps. -Kurt :-)

Huh! I never thought of Japan as an orange-producing land, but now that I think of it I don't see why not. Thanks for sharing!

HI Kat,

There are several types of oranges grown in Japan though the most popular are the winter "mikan" and the larger "summer mikan". The former are basically a type of tangerine while the latter more closely resemble the traditional orange enjoyed in the west. Mikan are peeled and eaten in sections while summer mikan are peeled and then further broken open to reveal the pulp which is eaten directly. Both are delicious and enjoyed greatly by the Japanese.

That building looks pretty big!

Whenever I have been in the countryside in japan, I am usually impressed by how large the houses are! The older, traditional farmhouses look more like castles than houses :)

Thanks for posting this one :)
