If you’ve been to any Asian festivals in town, you’ve seen our friend Tomo, a Tokyo born Oregonian (who shares my love of Kichijoji) wonderful teacher, valued member of the Lane County JAA, and Origami master extraordinaire.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tomo when he taught my son’s high school Japanese class, and then got to be his booth neighbor at Obon these last couple years. Also was neat to find out he helps host a fun Japanese language group (though I have yet to have time to be able to go hang out). If you have a love of Origami and all things Japanese, feel free to give him a follow. Origami with Tomo

We’re all set up and will be at the Asian celebration until 9pm. Mention this post and get a free sticker pack!

I won’t make too many personal posts on this account, but have to make this one. Happy 26th birthday to Alexis ~ my oldest, my sidekick, and the one who deals with all my craziness to make the shop possible. She stayed up all night with me filling gachapon for the Asian celebration instead of getting the sleep she deserves on her birthday, and will be at the booth on and off throughout the day. I appreciate her so much. Please help me wish her happy birthday!! ( 📸 credit ReiMastro Photography )

Trial run for our local art machine this weekend!

Have I finished painting the machine? No. Did I order the correct lightbulb for the machine? Also no, but the creations inside are so amazing we are hoping you don’t notice it’s still a work in process.

We are currently featuring the art of Rei Mastrogiovanni and Koatsu Yashima

Come check out the beginning of our local artist display and creations, and let us know what you think. While you’re here, feel free to make a wish on our 🎋 Tanabata Tree

Come celebrate Tanabata with us!

Tanabata is Japan’s annual Star Festival. Celebrated primarily on July 7th, it honors the romantic folktale of two star-crossed celestial lovers—Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair)—who are separated by the Milky Way and allowed to reunite only on this single night.

According to the traditional folktale, the lovers neglected their daily duties because they were so in love. As punishment, the gods separated them across the “Heavenly River” (the Milky Way), granting them permission to cross it and embrace just once a year.

The core of the modern festival revolves around writing hopes and dreams on tanzaku (colorful, narrow strips of paper). These papers, along with origami, are hung on bamboo branches, which are believed to carry the wishes directly to the heavens.
