You seem to care about what you do from your heart. I have been to Kyoto and bought an antique kimono. I thought Japan was a special country and enjoyed every moment there. Everything seemed so beautiful and so clean. It was a bit expensive though. I wish you the best of luck in all your beautiful arts. Have you learned to speak Japanese ? Well take care and keep the adventure in you, it keeps us young. Your blog is great! Michelle Hello Cindy, I am very happy that you took a leap of faith, life is full of surprizes!

I've always been welcomed at every workshop I've taken. Some have been brief and some have been on-going for months and even years. Sometimes the sensei spoke English, but often not and then we communicated through gestures and pantomime when our abilities to speak the other person's language failed. But that always just added to the fun. Oh, absolutely yes. I’ve always been welcomed at every workshop I’ve taken. Some have been brief and some have been on-going for months and even years.

My sister has moved to Nagoya and treated me to a 2 week holiday in May. I had a blast. Japan is amazing. I can't wait to go back. I loved reading your blog.

I lived in Japan for 2 years but that was before college and before I was into embroidery and love for textiles and architecture. I hope to return to Japan some day but who knows what the future holds. I would love to show my husband Japan. I'm sure it has changed so much since '88-'90. I still treasure my obi and kimono. I sure picked up some treasures from gomi piles when I lived there. There were 2 items that I had in storage and couldn't find when I moved back that I sure wish I still had....an antique cigar box and an antique regulator clock. your blog sure does bring back memories of Japan and a much simpler time in my life.

Happened upon your site to find out about a piece of Japanese fabric I have. I am blown away by the beauty of the pieces exhibited on your site. I have an AA in interior design but have not done much work in the field. I keep wanting to work with some fabric myself to come up with a lovely craft that would also sell. Thanks for the blog - lovely! Carol Hi Cindy,
