About Japan
I have never visited Japan, I wish I will some day though.
I know a few random things about Japan, such as cherry blossoms, the mountain Fuji, Manga and sushi but I do not know Japan. I feel Japan is pretty much a mystery for me.
However, I do know that the old printing technique, wood cut, has got its origins in Japan ( and China ).
Some Finnish artists like Ellen Thesleff and Helene Shjerfbeck were inspired of Japanese wood cuts (as many other artists all over Europe those days ).

| The Great Wave of Kanagava,1729-32, Katsushika Hokusai, woodcut print, |
 |
| Smiling Girl, Helene Shjerfbeck, 1921, oil and mixed media on paper |
The themes of my wood cuts and mixed media works have something to do with memories, associations and identity.
My grandma was a dressmaker and the threads of this work are hers.
She passed away a long, long time ago but somehow I can feel her strong personality and presence even now. She was a creative and unique personality, always wearing elegant hats
and smoking constantly.
the theme of this week´s drawing challenge is Japan and our charming host is Nadine, see her fascinating blog Tiny WOOLF for more.

Em mää näit omist.
Ne omistava mu.
Mitä rakasta

( ote Tapio Koivukarin runosta Ulkmerell.)
Rock, Runo, Rakkaus -tapahtumassa Pinnalan pihalla Raumalla 23.7.
Koivukari lausui ja Iiro Rantala soitti pianoa, hienoa kerrassaan!
I have enjoyed the sunny and warm weather by the sea with the nearest and dearest.
We also visited Rauma lace week and picked one cosy and charming event filled with music and poems.

Summer in the City
It has been exceptionally hot lately. Unfortunately we could not go to the seaside-
Instead I had a wonderful day in town (Tampere) with our son and grandson.
And a lake is ok when sea is not available:)

mmm.. umami
Umami on perusmaku makean, suolaisen, happaman ja karvaan ohella.
Umamia sanotaan esiintyvän esimerkiksi joissain juustoissa, soijakastikkeessa ja hyvin kypsyneessä tomaatissa sekä maustamattomassa lihassa. Umami on japania, 旨味, ja se tarkoittaa suomeksi likimain "herkullinen maku" tai "miellyttävä, ruokahalua herättävä maku"
Umami, a savory taste, is one of the five basic tastes together with sweet sour, bitter and salty
A loanword from the Japanese, umami can be translated "pleasant savory taste".
This project is a process, improvisation and discussion between senses, between a dancer and a painter.
And no doubt it is about a mother and a daughter.

"End of the Summer Party" @ Rauma sea
..and then it began to rain:
Suvi Isotalo: Ja sitten tuli sade
Summer enjoyment for those with summer cottages...The 'Venetian Evening' or 'Venetziad' is the traditional way to mark the end of the summer season and the time when people leave their summer cottages on the last weekend of August each year.
The 'Venetian Evening' or 'Venetziad' is the traditional way to mark the end of the summer season and the time when people leave their summer cottages on the last weekend of August each year.
This custom started over one hundred years ago, when the first bonfires and paper lanterns were lit at Sandstrand beach in Kokkola. Originally this could have been held on any evening in August, the most important aspect being the reflected light of the candles and fires dancing on the surface of the water, showing them to their best.
A magnificent festival of light and illimination became part of the Venetian evening. Bonfires, lanterns and barrels of tar were set alight, together with displays of fireworks, to lighten the darkening late summer evenings.
The festival gets its name from the Italian art of making fireworks, which came to the rest of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. The fireworks were originally known here as Venetian fires, after the Venetian trading town.
The Venetian evening gradually became a tradition celebrated on the last Saturday in August, when people left their summer cottages to move back to their homes in the town as the month turned to September. This led to the evening also being referred to as 'the end of the summer cottage season'.
...the summer fun has turned into a party for everyone
The end of the summer on the west coast of Finland is marked by magnificent celebrations of water, fire and light on the last Saturday of August. As the custom of spending the summer break in a cottage gradually became more common, thousands of lighted candles at the cottages on the coast set the sea on fire with their light. A glowing procession of torchlight, stretching for several kilometres, can be seen along the beaches near Kokkola on this evening.
