The temple across the street has pine brances on each side of the gate. I’ve swept my alley and put up my dragon. Getting ready for the new year.
Shiwasu, an old name for the month, “Teacher Runs,” though I have also heard it was originally, Priests run, which seems more reasonable.
My exhibitions for 2023 are well finished. I’m playing with ideas for a new year card. Does anybody send new year cards anymore? My students surely don’t.
Thanks to all who visited and made it great fun! Here is a short video of the show if you missed it.
A small book of the exhibition is being made, if you are interested send me an email.

2023, September - November 26 Group exhibition in the Nakanosawa Museum in Gunma
I will exhibit 3 or 4 works
I started making short videos as I work getting ready for October’s exhibition. I made one about the frames, and just now I made one scraping off last year’s sign.
