If you're ever in Japan, you've got to find a department store and go to the basement floor. Known as "depa-chika" in Japanese, it's where you find the groceries and prepared foods. Most are prepared on site. This man is cooking a traditional Japanese sweet treat, waffle type fish shaped cakes with sweet bean paste.
So here are my seven interesting things about me...
1) I was born in Japan.
2) I lived in Spain for two years.
3) I did the running of the Bull at a small town called Arcos De La Frontera and was caught in the street while the bull was rampaging.
4) I was a model for a brief time when I was a teen-ager.
5) I kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland
6) I had my own business at age 13 teaching (tutoring) English to Japanese students.
7) I'm bilingual - English/Japanese.
And now here are seven of the artists I find interesting. love, admire and are inspired by:
Nancy Medina, Alex Perez, Lori Woodward Simons, Linda Blondheim, Filomena Booth, Sheila Tajima, and Melissa Langer
Thank you!

Yikes! I was so intrigued by your photos and information I am honored and surprised by your tagging. Thanks (I think) LOL... I'll get cracking... HUGS!!! So nice to know an internationally rounded artist.
One more thing.... I think I'd rather deal with a guy with a knife strung out on drugs than do the running with the bulls. Talk about brave! Sugoi!

Oh Sheila - Police officer - you did that day in and day out and I ran with the bull the one time. It was so scarry though - In Arcos they release only one bull and because of it the bull is actually frightened by the mass and charges at everything and everyone. I was lucky that as the bull charged towards me and the man standing next to me flinched and the bull put his head down to butt him - I was able to escape at that moment.
Have a wonderful brave day!
Hi Judy,
Thanks for your message about the Photoshop tips! I'm glad you asked a question and I'll see if I can come up with a good answer. I think you images look pretty good, though! Nice artwork. I'm glad to have found a friend of Sheia's and your blog.
