It started as a dry day.
Then the rain sweeps down from the mountain…
A brief reprieve but it will start again…

It was great to meet Giye and Pepi who came all the way from Santiago, Chile for the first time in Ebisu! Giye, of course, is the artist for DOG EATERS. We ate ramen with Isaac.
They gifted me a designer poncho from Chile, too!
It’s the latest thing for a Jedi warrior.

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!

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!
