Catching up with myself…
April 14, 2017  By janelawsonfood

September 6, 2016  By janelawsonfood 

Last week I was blissing out on all the calming green of Kyoto and this week I’m seeing RED.  Red, white and black that is. Dramatic, graphic, striking and stimulating. In Japanese culture the colour red represents energy and lifeforce ( it also wards off evil spirits […]
