Glass from December 17

Posted on 01.07.18 under aniani ku'i 'ai, blown glass, glass, glass poi pounders, glassblowing

End of the year specials. Just picked them up, today.

Commissioned goblets. I think they’re just, “okay.”

More of similar color treatments.

The most recent (Jan 28) set wine glasses of the same motif.

Semi-mini and mini poi pounders.

This 3.0 pounder feels very nice and would be appropriate for woman.

Here are some minis, good for keiki.

The following end-of-December photos were shot New Woman, Shinjuku Minami Guchi.

2017 was the Year of the Woman!

Tourists in Kyoto

Posted on 12.31.17 under Kyoto

The Shinkansen has a brief view of Mt. Fuji on the way to Kyoto.

It’s like cosplay near Kiyomizu-dera. Busloads of tourists, mostly Asian start unloading from late morning.

We went to pray for Junko’s mother who passed on December 29, 2005 and is interred at Otani Hombyo. Junko’s grandmother is interred there, too.

The founder of this sect lived in this cave. This is the entrance.

And this is how it looks from the top.

From that cave to the current temple is quite a distance in time and expense. Every person interred is logged in a database. Once uploaded, no one will ever truly die!

And then it was 2018…

the last jedi @ kabuki-cho

We liked THE LAST JEDI. It was watchable and enjoyable. Fun to be a tourist in Kabuki-cho as well!
