  1. OMG that paper museum was wonderful!  I love Japanese paper/prints/ink/pens.  Their paper is world famous, and those of us that love to make paper objects and cards, it would be a revelation!!!  Lucky you!

  2. ocean waves is my favorite ghibli movie.   i love how good they captured the original atmosphere of the places.
