Once upon a time...

Ooh. Thank you for sharing this. It reminds me in certain details of my grandfather's house.

You're welcome

Coolio. I just wanna live in that entrance.

[f8n_begorra]

Or the garden--if I could only find a pic! Glad you're feeling better.

*purrrs* Pretty.
And so much light with only one wall with windows!

[f8n_begorra]

Thanks

uh...so...i guess you're an architect or interior designer or....?
she looks gorgeous, though!

...in a past life. Life has changed dramatically since then.

Beautiful. I particularly like the warmth of the light design, and the contrast of textures on different levels - granite, beech and washi paper. Did you select the calligraphy?

More importantly, do you miss those days, or are you happier now?

[f8n_begorra]

I miss my physical connection to Japan, profoundly.

My boss selected the calligraphy -- if I remember correctly, it was done by a San Franciscan. I'm meeting her for lunch tomorrow, so I'll confirm.

[f8n_begorra]

The character is an abstaraction of "ai" (love) and was commissioned from a San Francisco calligrapher.

And today my profound connection with Japan gloriously reopened with a panoply of possibilities, which brought me great joy.

Yes, I thought I recognized 愛 in an abstract, impressionistic way. Your friend does exquisite work. And I'm glad you have such positive associations with Japan!
