Ma, Madeleine, and I enjoyed a great day walking through the old Japanese houses, speaking with some of the volunteer guides as we enjoyed spectacularly clear blue skies and crisp fresh air. It’s a natural haven just 30 minutes from Shinjuku, the busiest train station in the world.

Great to see the New Year’s decorations and we received some hand-made souvenirs: grasshoppers made of grass, and mice made of paper!

The indigo dye workshop was amazing fun. I told the staff I’d come back hundreds of times. It was a bit of a challenge to understand the Japanese, but we had a great time dyeing and created some beautiful handkerchiefs!

Inner Space Set

https://art.robnugen.com/iss09

These are colorized versions of 10,000x zoom electron microscope scans of a space from the back of my brain.

This is my first “set” of pieces, drawn for my second art show (14,15 March 2009) at ELF in Tachikawa. Each piece is 12cm by 13.6cm. (4.7 x 5.3 inches)

These are the first to have http://robnugen.com/art written on the back, which has a link to the art section of my wiki.

I found my old art in a box in my closet. I knew it was there, but I had forgotten what size some of the pieces where. (many of them had become larger in my memory and were so small when I pulled them out of the box!)

Well, what is “old” exactly?

I found some pieces that are labeled with robnugen.com/art:

Inner Space Set, with 6 pieces. They are all 12cm by 13.6cm. (4.7 x 5.3 inches)

I am sure I have scanned them before, but if I cannot find the pictures quickly at https://art.robnugen.com/art, I will scan them again now.

Ah yes, Inner Space Set of Six - 11 March 2009 and they have a shortlink on art.robnugen.com https://art.robnugen.com/iss09
