Had a tea ceremony in Kamakura, Japan. I’m so happy that my dear friend has finally opened her gallery in such a prime location, just a minutes walk from ocean. So this tea ceremony is dedicated to celebrating the launch of her lovely space. I look forward to next one in near future.
We’re back from Tohoku journey. We visited temporary houses, community centres and orphanage in Fukushima and Miyagi. There are so many untold stories, so many heartbreaking stories I can’t tell right now. Just give us a moment…
I would like to gratefully and sincerely thank my friend Yumi, Jason for all your help. And thank our cordinators, Ms. Takahashi, Ms. Suzuki, Mr. Tsukamoto, Mr. Kawamura, Mr. McMichael, Mr. Itakura, Mr. Araki, Mr. Sato and many volunteers who made it all possible i would like to thank you all.
Just for now, take a look these photos on Facebook below:

Yes, I’m in Japan. I was on a radio show called “Suono Dolce” this afternoon with George Koller to promote “MapleLeaf RisingSun“, our charity album for victims of earthquake and tsunami. Mari Inubushi, a radio personality -obviously pretty- led us into a very smooth conversation about why we are here and what we’re going to do, just asking us straight questions. One of a songs from the album, Aaliah Michaela’s “Never Walk Away” has been played. That’s good. We’re heading to Tohoku tonight!
Photoshoot day. No matter you like it or not, you must wear clothes in public places. But you have a choice what to wear. George and I are going to visit Japan soon and we decided to wear a hat, dark jeans, collared shirt and putting Haori, Japanese traditional jacket over it. That has made a very big impact. There is a very strong sense of direction on where we are came from and headed. Much thanks for Stuart Lowe creating some of the most magnificent images we have ever shot.
