Wow, I haven’t posted for quite some time! I’ve been traveling SE Asia for the last 9 months and haven’t been back to Japan since. I do have some interesting things to still share, and I’ve answered questions I’ve been emailed every 2 weeks so I hope to post some answers because I’ve been getting a lot of the same questions. Also I came across something interesting last week:  How to build your own Japanese Torii gate for your garden.
