My mother was born the year of Rabbit so whenever I see a rabbit … I am a bit drawn to its image. This is a Rabbit mask with lotus on the third eye. The artist was there but the mask was not on sale as it was a gift she gave to this studio\/gallery\/dining space owner. It’s a retro vintage time slip. <\/p>\n

This is a Rooster year. What is your year? It probably comes as no surprise that I am a ______ \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> A riverside section of Tokyo (isn’t it hard to believe this area too is part of Shinjyuku … the quiet residential section, not that Times Square-ish mega neon craziness of Shinjyuku downtown) where silk\/cloths for kimono are dyed the old-fashion method. It was a venue reintroducing this tradition through a Walk through Artists Gallaries and shops … Kimono wearing was encouraged for the young and old, a tradition fast disappearing but revived just for the weekend. <\/p>\n

I will miss this town, the people where always there’s a pleasant blend of the old (this) and the new; the formal vs. the whimsical; the stress vs. peace and serenity. Everything was delicious to the five-senses. Sayonara. Thank you for the mini-tour C-san. Returnng to California next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
