I still remember this tragic Northern Japan Earthquake and tsunami like it happened yesterday. We have been updating the reports from reconstruction efforts in damaged areas on our website (if you haven't visited recently, please do! Here's the link - http://www.risejapan.us). Recovery from this natural disaster takes years and years, as you can see - we are trying to continue fundraising efforts and contribute to volunteer activities from the other side of the ocean.

To honor and remember this historical tragic event and victims, Rise Japan holds a candlelight vigil on Saturday. I will be there to hand you candles, and pray for the souls with all of you and people in Japan at 9:46pm sharp. Also, I will be performing live calligraphy painting on 8 ft x 8 ft wood panels on the main stage at Peace Plaza on Sunday. We will auction the finalized pieces after the performance at Rise Japan booth. We would love your love and support.

Lovely friends!
Time flies like a shooting star, it's been already a month since I got back in Bay Area. I have relocated my self in San Franciso, been really busy settling and re-organizing my atelier after a long trip to Japan. Just wanted to let you all of you know that there's an exciting event coming up tomorrow for 3 nights in a row - "MISSION NIGHT MARKET", organized and presented by Ken Ken Ramen in the heart of Mission district.

I was invited to have a vendor booth, selling greeting cards, prints, T-shirts, small artworks and bags (new stuff!)! There will be lots of clothes, goods, food, art installations and more!! This is the event you can't miss, it's going to be super exciting and fun!

Here's the word from the organizer:
