Monday, November 9 posting date, but images/videos of the last few days...
Above is one of the women who regularly sweeps Peace Memorial Park with one of those gorgeous brooms that I have fallen in love with. I am going to try to bring one home.
Here is Charlie Worthen scooping me a cup of sake from a cedar bushel with a bamboo ladle at the Shinto tradition at the University honoring the WIND / bellows - held in the forging/metal shop with an underground bellows to keep the coals burning hot......students prepare food and drink and people grab the mic and sing and act crazy. I ended up DJing with my iPhone and the mic and dancing like mad ....
ODEN, a simple broth with potatoes, a whole egg, daikon and other root vegetables; handmade udon noodles as good and chewy at spaetzle - all made by the students - and heaps of bottles of sake and fish as offerings.....embellished handmade hammers
There is something about the real thing and the representation of the thing
being in the same place at the same time that is surreal
unnerving .... and interrupted by life all around - from boats in the river
to schoolchildren drawing
monuments
beneath glowing gingko trees
I could not dream this shadow up
campus chairs - never have I seen anyone sit on them
view from campus
somewhat sad seeing these cardboard construction assignments come into being and then taken apart

I am tickled to find the flyer for my cyanotype workshop tomorrow (upper left) flanking the elevator with a flyer for Ishiuchi Miyako's lecture next week (to the right / the dress) ! totally uncanny and I am so excited....
