雨なので今日は折り紙 / Origami at home on a rainy day
今日はロサンゼルス、朝から雨が降り続いています。LAマラソンが開催されたので、参加された方々、雨の中お疲れさまでした。体を暖かくして風邪を引きませんように・・・。
そんな雨の中、LAダウンタウンの"文化堂"という日本のお店に行って来ました。
日本への愛を込めて、鶴を折ります。
道に落ちた葉っぱの彩りが綺麗だったので、ぱちり。
It's been raining all day today in Los Angeles. I would like to give a big applause to LA marathon participants. Hope you will stay warm and stay away from cold...
Here is a snap shot of colorful leaves on the ground.
そんな雨の中、LAダウンタウンの"文化堂"という日本のお店に行って来ました。Today I went to a Japanese store called ''Bunka do" in downtown LA in the rain.
Bunkado, Inc. 340 East First Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 625-1122 オンラインストアもあるようです。 Here is their online store: お店には、日本の文化にまつわる商品がたくさん揃えられていて、 見ていてとっても楽しい♪ There are a variety of Japanese cultural products at the store and I really enjoyed shopping♪ そしてずーっと探していた、赤だけの折り紙を発見して大興奮。 Origamiという水玉の折り紙も、柄に魅かれて、 ９種類の紙の折り方説明書付きにも魅かれ購入しました。 こういうモダンな紙系の製品に弱い私です。 At the store, I finally found all in red origami paper and I got excited. Also I was intrigued by"Origami" by midori (famous Japanese stationary company) because the paper pattern was colorful polka dots and it comes with how to fold papers in 9 different ways so I purchased these two. I am very vulnerable to these kind of modern paper products. |
Origami
日本への愛を込めて、鶴を折ります。またモービルを作って、お友達にプレゼントしようと思います。
I am going to keep folding cranes with love for Japan.
I will probably make some red crane mobiles and give them to my friends.

日本の地震 / Earthquake in Japan
日本で起こった地震のニュースから目が離せない。
たくさんの人がこわい思いをして、今でも心が休まらない時間を過ごしている事を思うと
心が痛む。私に何が出来る？小さくても、何か出来る事を探そう。
All I can do now is to follow the news about the earthquake in Japan. It hurts to think when I think about many people who had horrifying experiences and still experiencing restless time. What can I do? I keep asking myself. Even it's small, I want to find something I can do. I support my country.

Flat Flowers and Cat
早速Rjorkちゃんに頂いたFlatFlowerスティッカーを台所側の窓に貼ってみました。いつもはブラインドを閉め切っているけれど、花を見たいのであける事が多くなりそうです。
お向かいのネコちゃんが右側の窓からこちらを見ています・・・にゃお。
I put the FlatFlower sticker from Rjork on a kitchen window. I don't really open the window blind but I will probably open more so I can see the flower. Can you see a cat in the right side window? Meaw...

Flat Flowers from the Netherlands
A few weeks ago, I visited my friends in Utrecht, the Netherlands. They just had a baby in January but they welcomed me with big opened arms. We cooked, went shopping, played shiritori game(Japanese word game), watched BBC documentary, and I had such a relaxing time with them even though it was only two days. Thank you Rjork, D, and Yu-chan : )
Rjork remembered how my eyes sparkled when I saw the flower stickers on windows of some cute shop in Utrecht. Unfortunately the shop had been closed and I couldn't get the stickers. But a few days later, Rjork went out of her way to get them and right away send them to me! Crazy girl! Today I got them by mail. Thank you Rjork!! They are so so adorable...love them!
I found out that the stickers are designed by a graphic designer, Suseela Gorter, who now designs new interior products like this sticker, Flat Flowers. I fell in love with her work....It's intriguing...I can't wait to apply them on my windows....ha----...(* v *)
