Thank you everyone for coming to my event at Minamoto Kitchoan San Francisco last Friday! It was very short amount of time, but I had fun meeting and talking with you all. I also enjoyed the warm tea and new delicious sweets from the store - made me feel like I was in Japan.
Minamoto Kitchoan made this awesome video of the event - I'd love to share this with you! Hope we can do another event like this again in the future.

先週金曜日の源吉兆庵でのイベントに来てくださった皆様、どうも有り難うございます。夕方の限られた時間ではありましたが、うちわに書き入れる言葉のリクエストをしてくださったお客様一人一人との会話もはずみ、楽しいひとときを過ごさせて頂きました。そして、源吉兆庵さんから差し入れしていただいた温かいお茶と新しいお菓子も美味しく、ここは日本かと錯覚に陥るような「和」の染みる瞬間でした。
源吉兆庵さんから、イベントの様子をハイライトしたビデオが届きました!またいつかこのようなイベントが出来るといいなと思います。

My new project - collaboration with leather bag line "Hawke & Carry". I have been wanting to make bags with my calligraphy artwork as part of the textile design. I met the bag designer Paula Collins through a friend of mine, saw her really soft and flexible leather bag on her shoulder, and immediately fell in love with her leather bags. Finally one of my dreams came into a shape! First group of bags are limited in stock.

Our team Rise Japan is working on planning Rise Japan vol.4! We see and hear less and less about Northern Japan earthquake & tsunami on news media. As you know, Japan needs long-term support to rebuild infrastructure - destroyed buildings and houses from scratch. It's not someone else's story... what if it strikes your city?
