Moments of beauty and delight

And so, after detailing our wonderful workshops and visits in Japan earlier in the week, here are some images of things that were simply beautiful and delightful...

Cloths hanging in Kameyama Tomohide-san's studio


Irises...


Bottles with fairies in Shimokawa-san's studio...


Spools of threads at Ashikaga.


Garden solitude at Banna temple, Ashikaga.


Temple peace.



Wheat growing and blowing...


Fragments of sculpture at Mashiko.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the stories and images from Japan - lots to capture and recall, but there were many moments of beauty...
