I painted this 30 years ago, this October...
The links above detail the history part of this painting,
but the memory is what I've never talked about.
My late husband Akio was with me,
and our (at that time) young son, Michio.
We decided to take a walk in the cool
October night, all three of us...
That was rare, as I often had singing gigs at night,
and Akio was mostly away teaching his music students.
I remember how Halloween was only an inkling
of a notion in Tokyo, then.
The wide-open rice field held recently
harvested and neatly arranged and hung bundles-
I still remember the earth-y scent of it.
In time that would be replaced with apartment buildings, etc...
But that night in late October, 1995,
we 3 walked and laughed together,
and that as well as
the moon and beautiful scenery,
is what inspired me to paint this,
the next day, from memory-
To capture that wondrous night and time together,
as a family, through this work.
It's in my private collection,
my takara.
Till Next Time...

The pretzels and beer
At Oktoberfest
were good
But not the expense!

My first Oktoberfest in Florida.
I loved everything;
the beer, the soft pretzels,
the music, watching the polka dancers,
the guys in lederhosen...
But the prices kept me sober...

My favorite month is here!
Juicy delicious...

I have been busy doing non-noteworthy,
but necessary things...
My new hair is quite silvery,
and curly.
One will pass, I'm told, and return to original.
The other is up to me.
Imma live in it for awhile...
