Arigatou gozaimasu, calligraphy by Masato Kawahatsu.

I want to start 2023 by thanking all my (very appropriately numbered) 23,020 followers. I began this blog just for fun many years back, as a distraction while I was finishing my PhD (which had nothing to do with Japanese art at all). I’m glad I kept it up, though I’d never imagined I’d end up with so many followers! I hope I can share more beautiful artworks with you all again this year. Arigatou, for sticking around : )

SO JEALOUS!! ❤️❤️❤️ Tempura Ramen. When I started all this, I decided I wanted to opt out of the standard hospice food delivery service in place of the one by @kimochi.incorporated serving the local senior community in San Francisco’s Japantown area. So instead of Salisbury Steak, fried boneless chicken, boring salads and Govment Cheese Pizza, we’re getting amazingly healthy Japanese foods including Tempura Ramen and Unagi-don as well as Chicken Karaage and many vegetarian selections from their monthly set menu. Special thanks to Masato and Alice Kawahatsu for setting us up with this service. . If you’re interested in donating to this community, the website is http://www. kimochi-inc.com Donations are needed in these times particularly for seniors and thank you! 📸📸 @warrendifranco (at Japantown) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-LhdIgcDE/?igshid=ou1bhkqpq230
