I am thoroughly enjoying my holiday in Kyoto at the moment.

I will be traveling for a few days starting today. Please forgive me if my replies are delayed... Everyone, have a good winter holiday.

When I was a teenager, I absolutely loved making these kinds of paper crafts. How nostalgic!

This year too has seen its share of events, but such is life—both good and bad things happen. All's well that ends well.

A beautiful, clear, holy night. May everyone be enveloped in gentle happiness.
