This is me in Nagaoka Niigata Japan, obviously studying ceramics!!

I hardly ever do this, but here is a pic of me in Japan, Niigata prefecture at an old 16th c house. 

I'll have to scan pics and add more, such a cool house, I want one like it, only smaller..

I almost moved here permanently.. or well, part time here and part time there, and I can say I really really miss and love Japan.

Some of my sculptural and thrown work in ceramics too...winged vessel series, and some porcelain with engobe that is an interesting story for another time.

Nagaoka Castle

I found my photo of Nagaoka Castle from when I was there. I had to post it here. 

Sending my best wishes to Japan,  and all of Japan. 

I love you and always will.
