CLOUDY

My favorite spa, Hollywood May’s Garden Spa, is decorated in spring and CLOUDY colour : YELLOW.

CLOUDY or DOYA INC acts as African Apparel Brand and NPO Doooooooo to provides education and school meals to children and creates employment for disabled people and women in Africa: Ghana and Kenya.

I thought I can contribute to it by purchasing a bag.

I can add new colour to my collection of bags and it has a bright African design to cheer me up.

Or am I making a good excuse for shopping!?

Nonetheless, I can conclude that this is a good buy.

It’s a nice bag and 10% of sales will become a donation to conduct the above mentioned activities which I’m willing to support.

Peaceful Town: Matsuzaka, Nishi-Izu

I immediately line this town.

Crab on the street.

Foot Bath

Old fashion building with Namako Kabe (Sea Cucumber Wall).

Nice dinner at Shinsai Kuon.

Be careful with Wasabi Edamame (Wasabi young Soy Beans). It really hit you.

All others are also nice.

There was an antique cashier that can work today.

There is a traditional post.

And this is my BGM for a night.

It’s not far from Tokyo; It takes 3:30 hrs.

It’s worth coming

Short Trip to Kyoto (Day 1)

Last week, I visited Kyoto.

First, I visited Galerie Tamenaga.

Mr. Kiyoshi Tamenaga, the owner, has four galeries: Ginza (Tokyo), Osaka, Paris (France) and recently opened Kyoto.

In Kyoto, he refurbished a traditional Japanese moromi (mash / unrefined sake) factory to a galerie for young artists.

The owner welcomes us to visit the galerie just to enjoy admiring paints and the building.

I enjoyed exchanging impressions of each paints with Mr. Kiyoshi Tamenaga.

The building itself is the art.

I found Shoki san (Mr. Shoki) who protects us from evils, bad lucks and illness on the roof; I felt safe.

I will continue more on next blog.

To be continued….
