A Spoonful of Kinako, A Gentler Body A fragrant soybean powder from Japanese kitchens that quietly supports the body in unexpected ways

spring light
filling the window
birds calling—
an afternoon left untouched,
still soft

Sweet Secrets and a Spoonful of Sugar Lonely afternoons, samurai dramas, and the brown sugar I never forgot

black gloss—
slow drops
in the warm afternoon
by the window
a drifting drowsiness

Onigiri, Onisasa, and a Warm Moment This Winter Radio laughter from distant Okinawa

Chewing rice,

I close my eyes—

pure white clouds,

and somewhere in them

a southern wind.

“Old pond
a frog jumps in
the sound of water”

Matsuo Bashō (1644–1694)

A moment of stillness broken by a tiny splash reminds us to notice the simple beauty around us. ✨

Since my house
Burned down, I now own
A better view
of the rising moon

The Masks of the Tsukumogami Explained An exploration of Silent Hill f's artistic interpretation and symbolism of the Tsukumogami

Silent Hil f's visceral interpretation of the Tsukumogami deity is very unique and used to dramatic effect to emphasize its thematic story and represent old Japanese culture.

How Silent Hill f is Structured as Ancient Japanese Noh Theatre An exploration on how Silent Hill f's story is shaped by classical Japanese theatre and Buddhism.

One of the greatest aspects of Silent Hill f is its deep influence by ancient Japanese Noh (能) theatre. I wrote a piece that I hope deepens fans' appreciation of the game.

How the Music of Silent Hill f is Secretly Ancient Japanese Poetry An uncovering of the layered beauty in its two prominent songs, 迷い歌/“Mayoi Uta” and 鳥の嘆き/Tori no Nageki.

The music of Silent Hill f is an amazing work of art that reflects an era of classical Japanese culture that I think many aren't fully aware off.

In Japanese poetry, the red maple leaf is a farewell kiss. Autumn’s frondescence was honored in festivals where leaves were likened to burning stars, brief yet brilliant. #Folklore #JapanesePoetry

watercolor illustration of Daphne flowers on a bamboo fence with a child's boot hanging upside on one of the polls. the boot is light blue. the flowers are red and white with dark green leaves. Japanese calligraphy is above the painting and text I've added is below it.

day two - daphne flowers

this morning, I smell the fragrance of daphne in the air.

I feel I can speak to anyone with kind words.
