TSUKIMI THOUGHTS (The Japanese Moon Viewing Festival)
TSUKIMI THOUGHTS
white light through the glass
kitty lying on his back
time for a moon bath
white light through the glass
cat meditates in the beam
becoming more strange
tsumiki evening
bunny and panda watching
different angles*
(*Aoi and I are on different sides of the Pacific tonight)

SOME OF MY FAVORITE NEIGHBORS
On this past Sunday, Hayao Miyazaki, Japan's premier animated film director officially announced his retirement.Thank you Miyazaki-san for all the laughter, tears, and dreams you have given us, not to mention the inspiration, and all the little characters, from the dust gremlins to Totoro, and even the house that I would so much like to live in. Thank you for giving so many of us the opportunity to be kids again. Sometimes it is good to rest however.

MIYAZAWA KENJI: Part III "The Cat Office" (Anime)
THE CAT OFFICE
(A Short Anime Feature)
Quite a few years ago a short anime feature was produced in Japan entitled "The Cat Office." While not totally faithful to the original storyline, it is close and thus is quite enjoyable. Just follow the link below to watch and enjoy it.
