I'm really inspired by some good news... I've just found out that our holiday travels will take us to Japan!

It's an incredibly exciting time and we're gathering tips and advice on where to go and stay. We know that we'll spend time in Tokyo and Hakone with our friends, but we're still mapping everything out. I will keep you posted. (A special thanks to Renee for all of her recommendations for our trip.)

Samiro Yunoki is trained in the art of stencil-dyeing (katazome) in the tradition of local Japanese folk crafts (mingei). Yunoki has been submitting his work to Kokugakai Tenrankai ( the society for exhibiting Japanese Arts and Crafts) since 1949. He is ever tireless at his craft, long after he has retired. You can read more about him here.
