Japan March 2009

heaven! :)

One of many amazing things in Japan is abundance of salmon roe and its cheap! (1800 yen is 13 euro) A rare Russian can walk past an enormous box full of inviting orange jewels. Even when writing this a month later, I have to swallow hard.

seeweeeed....

But we are not only thinking about food :) From an early age I was fascinated about japanese art, brush paintings in particular. I always thought how beautifully the artists stylize trees, branches birds etc. It was completely unexpected to find trees that look exactly like painitngs and to realize that paintings are in fact very realistic and not stylized at all!

Here is a brush painting :



and here is a tree.. most of the work is done by nature :)
