My modest collection of vintage carousels and merry-go-rounds shouldn't make you dizzy.

Moegi Village—Carousel in the Forest

Location: Takanechō Kiyosato, Hokuto, Yamanashi　Pref., Japan Timestamp: 12:09 & 12:10 on July 5, 2023

Nestled within Moegi Village (萌木の村), the Forest Carousel (森のメリーゴーラウンド) stands as a beloved attraction embraced by a lush canopy of forest trees captivating both young and old visitors alike.

The juxtaposition of this whimsical carousel in the heart of the forest creates a captivating scene that defies the usual imagery associated with Japanese highlands. It feels like a living illustration from a cherished fairy tale book.

Back in 1993, the village acquired this ride, christened "Carousel Dream," all the way from the United States. Since then, it has stood proudly as an iconic symbol of the village for over three decades.

The carousel's joyful parade of horses, rabbits, zebras, chickens, goats, pigs, ostriches, and other delightful animals frolicking on the hill has been immortalized in various music videos and commercials by talented artists across Japan.

The model for the chicken (with different legs) revolves on the Boston Common carousel The real-life zebra (in different livery) is on the Memphis Zoo carousel. ☞ x-post to Instagram

If you have to stage a difficult conversation, put it somewhere unlikely and distracting, like on a carousel.

(The really tough confrontations and interventions, though, you have them on a rollercoaster or a free-fall drop.) ☞ Illustration for Tomorrow's Just Another Day on AO3.
