the space of an apartment the station is called

kachidoki...

such clever ideas used to create a simple functional space

                                           5am shift art materials towards the balcony

                                            and started sketching the sun rises extremely fast in Japan

                       Japanese bananas cultivated and chosen for the basho museum

                                           detailed plant suggestions well thought out.

be it in a basho museum .. and the areas

to indicate that you have arrived at the correct station simple graphic elements are used

to tell the pedestrian ...throughout Tokyo though the metropolitan city is such a complex

matrix of information areas to see for the tourists .. it was such a smile that came about on my face 

for 2 and a half weeks it was a lovely break .. especially for a designer it was sure heaven..

everywhere even at the back of a shop where I peeped through centuries old Edo recipes

that make these pickles were carefully simply carried out.. from the images chosen I hope

you can appreciate my finds.. that would make you smile ... 

SMILE into a kaiseki meal Tokyo autumn lunch

 anxious to eat as each meal arrived I found a new way to sketch.
just add in the chopsticks or spoons and photograph them..

 and that was how the appreciation of motifs on the porcelain came about to such intensity that the kaiseki meal took 2 hours.

 the couple next door ordered a larger set meal..

naritasan Tokyo evening falls.......

                                         beauty of naritasan a lovely 

village 10 minutes from narita airport 

                       the temple is towards the end of the tourist zone 

... the area is famous for eels and there are a few restaurants ... 

discovering ipoh is like hiding inside a banyan tree..

if the roots are strong .. it may last but if you cut off the roots ... am not sure about the outcome.
