Fifth Avenue's got nothing on this.....






This morning, Bob and I headed for nearby To-ji temple, as this was the day of the Kobo-san market fair, held at To-ji only once a month. If you've a taste for all things Japanese (as I do), then this is a Nipponese orgasm; Kimono, scrolls, pottery, lacquerware, all manner of food, on and on and on and on till your wallet is empty and you stagger out (as we did) with so many packages that getting past the other shoppers was nearly impossible. Some of our important acquisitions? An ancient lacquer box, a 100 year-old cape made for men, a wonderful painting of a Boddhisatva, a beautiful (and extremely affordable) kimono, and a few others as well. Luckily, we arrived at the market early - by 10 a.m. you could hardly move through the crowd.

We hear you. We know that we can't send all of our time looking at pictures of French rugby players. That's why we're now spending our time looking at pictures of French firefighters. Merci a Ohlala .
