My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

My Chigerie Bunnies

FINALLY! In June I finished my Year of the Rabbit bunnies chigerie picture! And Sensei stamped my Japanese name - Nagisa, which means "soft ocean wave" - and signed for me in calligraphy. I suspect she also "cleaned it up" and made it look much better, but she would never admit it. All this is made with tiny torn pieces of exquisite Japanese washi paper & special glue - amazing how it looks like fur!
