    Excellent imagery! I like the “a man walking by at Kamogawa” images. For me the image works because I love the wide open space around the man walking and I like the color scheme. Looks a bit American too me?
    The puppets seem to be coming along. Kyoto is definitely a good influence for you.

    Haha, maybe everything looks American to Americans, I suppose it is the same thing like in life drawing class every painter draws sort of a self portrait. We look at the world as a mirror. The image reminded me of the one famous photo of Van Gogh (with his back to the camera) with his friend, Emile Bernard, at a table along the Seine at Asnieres, Paris, in 1886.
    Maybe I will add it to the post, to compare….

    There is. This one. Recently last summer they came up with another one, if you ask me a total fake, looks nothing like him, but they sold it for a lot of money.
