It was outstanding! Gotta love Ken Watanabe, and Kelli O'Hara was amazing. The children, the sets and costumes, the whole show was delightful. The Japanese subtitles, projected on either side of the stage, were beautiful and must have been spot on in their timing, judging by audience reactions.
Lots of ladies lined up for "red carpet" photos before the show:
Spectacular city views from the theatre:
And then just a day later... this was my view - big open sky, and pure sunshine - love it. After our recent stretch of 18 days with no sunshine in Tokyo, this is such a pleasure. Colorado gets sunshine about 300 days a year (!).
Meanwhile, it's World Embroidery Day! I still just love the straightforward lines of sashiko. This is a little bag I made some time ago. The pattern in an elongated asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern. This is from one of Susan Briscoe's books.
In it, I brought the simplest of projects along - starting with straight lines on indigo... to be used for a specific quilty purpose soon;).

Enjoy your time in the States! Very lovely sashiko bag.
ReplyDeleteHave a grand time in the US of A! (And good luck with the jet lag--ugh! Oh, and don't write back--you need your time for visiting.)
ReplyDeleteI do hope the jet lag subsides so you can enjoy your family time!
ReplyDeleteSashiko is so well suited for decorating a bag. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteWell, I missed World Embroidery Day. I remember reading about it but that is as far as my thoughts got. I had some that I could have worked on.
My jet lag is worse coming back home. Glad you have some nice stitchery to fill in your time. Have a safe and fun trip.
