    Japan is fascinating! I can't wait for the day I will be able to wander around those beautiful unique streets. And I think your photographs are absolutely beautiful; they capture that uniqueness of Japan. I hope you also have an amazing new start in 2012!

    Hello and Happy New Year!
    I will in in Kyoto and Hiroshima in April and I would love, love, love to buy some washi tape while I'm there. Do you by chance know of any stores I should shop? Or have suggestions on how to find craft stores?

    Thank you!

    Ohhhh, your gorgeous photos make me yearn to be back in Tokyo. It's the only holiday I've been on where I quite literally had a smile on my face almost every minute of the day, even when doing ordinary things like walking down the street. There was always something amazing around every corner. We were staying near the fabulous Tokyu Hands. *sigh*
