Rob supplied this photo of my wedding cake.
On closer inspection we can see a Kanji character as the topper. I chose this over a more traditional bride and groom topper (I didn’t have time to consult Ayako, she was already on the plane to the US!).
The character is used in many words, but it […]
Here we are with another group of wedding photos. The others I plan on showing when I visit any of you next (or when you visit me). If you happen to have photos I have not seen, please do send them my way.

Family anxiously awaiting the hours ahead
Groom and groomsmen are […]
This may be the last round of photos I post. There are so many great photos that the photographers are preparing for our personal album. Butler Studios has thus far done an amazing job, and we are eager to see the final product! (and share it with everyone)

Last few days have been busy. Ayako and I were both busy with work, and when we werent busy with work - we have been planning for this weekend’s trip to Maebashi, Gumma Japan. We will visit her parents, the place of her ancestors, and participate in Yuinou (i wrote about this previously). […]
