Back to hometown now.... It was miracle shot on the way back.

Impression 20110411

Still full......I wish it keeps like this forever. But if it's like this all the time, it would be totally less happiness to see them...well....my mind still "±0". I can keep this concept for myself in a while.
"Ok! Time to go back work." I realized I have one more design.

Special day.......from Kyoto to Toronto.

It's grey in the sky.

This is not so good weather today.

Everybody has sick lately because of weather is very strange,

like up and down.....hard to control.

I think I'm happier and finer than anybody

in Kyoto today.....

Because

I saw my Toronto's family today.

I really realized family is important.

I'm looking at sky

and

I'm feeling close to them.

Time

Place

Air

are different

but it's close to me

because

it's already in my body.

Think

Feel

Smile

Enjoying each happiness even small one.

Small one becomes big one to me.

I can run again.

Just got new my original design piece right now.

The voice of spring.

This is view

I always bike to studio.

I haven't noticed that much great view

because

a bunch of people did"hanami".
Hanami is like people have party under the tree of cherry blossom.

Hanami season is gone.

Cherry blossom started fallen.

Nobody there.

I think that's why the view attracted me.

Cherry blossom fallen even more look beautiful.

It's like a river of cherry blossom.

I wanted to jump to there.

It's beautiful.....this is it.
It looks spring is gone soon.
New season is coming.
I'll ready to open my door.

I will get a lots of new our collection in this week.

I can't wait to see them.
