I hope you are doing well. I am so glad you liked the chocolates, hopefuly they did not get too warm during shipping. And, yes, I now love fude-pens (although I need to work on my calligraphy skills) and all japanese stationary in general, I don't know how many hours I've spent in Itoya:) I am back to US already, and will be missing Japan, I enjoyed it so much! Thank you so much for everything! Have a wonderful week ahead!

Mizuka 2017/02/17 clii9:59, Karyna Shuliak < >0).A —)1,: Dear Joi and Mizuka, Warm greetings from Tokyo! I thought you might like to hear a little bit about the tea gathering experience, so I wanted to share. It has been an interesting experience. Amazing, how one event can combine together so many cultural pieces. EFTA00565565 The tea master...like you said earlier Joi, she is wonderful! So warm and graceful. She said she had started making tea since she was in her 51h grade, and has been doing it every day ever since. She must be a legend! When I passed your regards to her, she looked very happy! And what a beautiful place! Being located in the middle of busy Tokyo streets, yet it felt so serene... Again, Joi thank you for connecting me with Toki! They have arranged many wonderful experiences. It has been a great time and I am very much enjoying learning about Japan. Best wishes, Karyna. P.S. I have attached a couple of photos with the tea master below <IMG_8374.jpeg> <IMG_8978.jpeg> On Feb 9, 2017, at 7:55 AM, Joi Ito < > wrote: Hi Karyna, I'm so glad you're enjoying it. The tea master is really wonderful. I LOVE how fluid her motions are and how wonderfully cheerful she is in such a classy way. Please give her my regards. Would love to hear about your adventures! - Joi On Feb 8, 2017, at 5:48 PM, Karyna Shuliak Dear Joi, > wrote: Please allow me to take a moment of your time to say how grateful I am to you for introducing me to Romy and Toki! Romy has put together an incredibly comprehensive itinerary, most of which I am yet to experience, but what I have so far, was remarkable. I think one of the highlights is going to be the tea ceremony with the 89 years old tea master lady, who, Romy says, you have met. And thanks to you, I am being very fortunate to be able to learn about these things from such perspective. EFTA00565566 Thank you, thank you!! Karyna EFTA00565567
