Lovely handmade christmas presents

I was lucky enough to recive two handmade christmas pressies this year, a beautiful blue scarf knitted by my friend Kazuko Kayahana San (pictured above), and an equally beautiful necklace made by my friend in England, Helen Mcgovern.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Argggh, how can the time pass by so fast? I have been none too well this winter but that's no exuse, it's been a long time since my last post!

I have been having a lovely Christmas so far as I hope you all have been too. Christmas isn't really celebrated in Japan like it is back home, everywhere stays open and so on Christmas morning I found myself in Tokyo going to see the 'Chalo India' exhibition at the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi. It was fabulous, one of the best exhibitions I've seen, very diverse, thought provoking and beautiful and I recommend it wholeheartedly if you're in Tokyo or nearby.

I paid the extra money and went up to the sky walk to see the 360 degree view of Tokyo which was pretty amazing. Even the outside of the building is cool with that giant spidery looking beast outside by Louise Bourgeois.

There are quite a few exhibitions on at the moment, I'll post the pics I've taken of the posters. I hope to get to a few of them over the next month or so.
