Simple pleasure is derived from every sip of green tea and
a bite of traditional Japanese confectionary called higashi. The duo is often
served in tea ceremony. Higashi is made from wasanbon, a premium fine-grained
Japanese sugar. It comes in floral shape or any timely symbols of the seasons
in Japan.
This is the theme of my blog’s header and my Facebook’s
cover photo. A friend from Tokyo gave me two boxes each of higashi and green
tea. I arranged the higashi neatly on a green tea color paper and requested my
artist son to take photos. He also designed the logo using modern typography. Just
like Japan, my header/cover photo is a mix of the old and the new.
Green tea and higashi, traditional and modern, me and my
son. I do believe good things come in twos.
