Earthquake in Japan 3/11/11 March 11 2011, 1 Comment
Our thoughts and prayers are with our dear friends in Japan who have suffered a devastating earthquake. We are waiting for word on the safety of our artists and their families who live in Gumma prefecture. I have spoken with Naomi in Tokyo and she is safe. We will keep you posted as we receive more information.

3/14/11 All of our artists and their familes are safe and well. One artist did sustain damage at his studio, but is quickly returning the studio to working order. We watch in awe and respect at the courage and grace of the Japanese people as they deal with this crisis. Our thoughts and prayers continue for the wonderful people of Japan.

Yes, our thoughts and prayers are with the wonderful people of Japan since the terrible earthquake and tsunami. Years ago I lived in Japan and taught English. There I bought and treasured a Kokeshi doll. Today my 9 yr old daughter will take the Kokeshi doll to school, tell one of the legends around its origin, and remind her classmates to remember Japan during this traumatic time.
