Formerly a potent cocktail of Tokyo, food, cooking, wine, photography, vintage rangefinder cameras, shaken with a piquant jot of Mongolia. Been on hold as I adjust to life in Minnesota.

Tibetan Monks from a tantric college in India create a sand mandala on May Day 2007 at Gokokuji Temple in Tokyo, it was cool they are a great bunch of guys, met them a couple of years ago when they did a Mandala at a gallery in the Tokyo International Forum. Tough to get the photos because unlike past years a bunch of zealot obatarians were determined that no photos were to be taken. The bad vibes they generated made the calm spirituality of the monks stand out all the more.
Mongolian popstar Narantuya (center) with dancers The Man--Kyokushuzan--a great sumo guy from the steppes just before retirement, the O.G.ster hisself ... and Gana my Mongolian teacher and good pal, all this happening in the sticks of Tokyo in Hikarigaoka on April 29-30. Mark the calendars for next year.
Slightly more wholesome, a graceful Mongolian dancer. You had to be there ..
The artist formerly known as the Omoshiro Gourmet; or O.G. for short. This blog will be nothing but lies; damnable lies and paeans to the wonders of distilled water
