1) Kintsugi Class:
I took a Kintsugi class in Tokyo. Kintsugi is a traditional art form where one repairs broken pottery with gold.I fell head over heels with the practice and its philosophy after artist @emilymcdowell_posted about it.

3) Kyoto:

4) Cherry Blossoms:
And of course, my beloved cherry blossoms — the reason I came during March in the first place! Special thanks to my sister for two of these photos.
