Found Art: Haneda Airport
Good morning! Hope you had a nice weekend… I am still struggling from my horrible jet lag… :( Hopefully, by the end of the week, it’ll be all better and I live like a normal person… (not going to bed at 5-6pm and waking up super early.)
Anyway. I found this gigantic inflatable human body floating around at Haneda airport. It sure caught my eye — it was huge!
I want to know the concept behind this guy… if you happened to know the artist or the idea behind this, please let me know!
Have a great day, everyone!
Hanae Mori Omotesando Window
Apparently, I have taken more than 500 pictures while I was in Japan, you will be seeing lots of them for the next few weeks… :)
I saw this window display at Hanae Mori building in Omotesando, Tokyo and I had to stop and admire the beauty of Japanese samurai armor… how awesome!! I was drawn to them so much, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a samurai armor in a fashion window display before and it absolutely had a strong yet awesome presence… I enjoyed it very much. Here are some snapshots I took… I hope you enjoy, too!
The detail is great!

Japanese New Year
I have been having such a great time in Japan, but it is time to say good-bye and get back to my creative life in New York… I am leaving tomorrow morning, traveling all day, all night, and another day long (sigh, soo long) — just wanted to post some more pictures from Japanese new year before it is too late to even talk about it… (time really flies!)
Hatsuhinode (first sunrise of the year):
Omikuji (random fortunes):
My omikuji being attached to a wall of metal wires in the shrine (read more about it here)
Osechi (traditional Japanese New Year foods):
Love this special chopstick cover — do you see the embossed art? The silver and gold Mizuhiki knot is great, too.
I want to thank all my family and friends who made this trip even more special. I got lots of great energy from them and I couldn’t thank them enough!!! I can’t wait to use this energy to create something new this year!!!
See you all later this week from New York — will be back fully, posting 1-2 posts everyday again :)
