The Great Wave Off Kanagawa Tattoo

The Great Wave Tattoo was completed and it is healed. It's about ten inches in diameter. Like many people who get a tattoo, one is never enough. The artist talked me (and mostly Master) to allow him to continue his work. He is working from the center (the wave). The rest of the work will be entirely original work designed by him. It's a process and a dream that is coming true, thanks to Master's permission and encouragement (big switch in his attitude).

Our new home is on a mountainside that overlooks a valley. It snows in the winter and warms during the spring and summer. We own a large portion of the valley, the rest is part of a national forest. The house is a log structure with large windows facing the valley. There is no true swimming pool. That was hard to give up.

  1. I can imagine that leaving the pool would be a bit of a wrench. Although perhaps not so much in the average temps we have over here it must become more of a necessity where you are, especially so if you've been used to just dipping in whenever you wanted. I bet the family members will take a long backwards look at it when they leave. However, you can always get one installed in time as you may have already planned.

    The Japanese artist was extremely gifted. If yours looks anything like the work he was carrying out in that clip then you must be a very proud owner of some original art.
