Seth in Japan: June 2008
http://sethinjapan.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Woke up early today and did some studying. After expressing concerns about school credit for private language lessons, we have been getting more involved homework assignments and actually having to turn them in. So we'll get credit, which is a relief. After finishing my homework for the day, I went down to school and my studio. Posted by Seth A. Monday, June 30, 2008. There is a class like this offered almost every Saturday, but it's the first time I've made it. Like me, but there were a few Japanese as ...

Seth in Japan: Yotei-zan to Sapporo
http://sethinjapan.blogspot.com/2008/08/yotei-zan-to-sapporo.html
3:15am came much to early. Actually, 3:15am is ALWAYS early. At home I'm even just getting to bed then! I had not brought enough food with me, and ate a lot of my high-energy snacks on the way up, so I was pretty exhausted. I had to be extra careful not to make mistakes, but still, I was so worn out by the end, that the only time I slipped in the mud and fell on my pack was on the last stretch of almost flat trail. We then loaded up the bus, man my pack is big, maybe I'm carrying too many socks?

Seth in Japan: March 2008
http://sethinjapan.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
I've lived in my apartment for too long and I've accumulated way too much stuff! Posted by Seth A. Monday, March 31, 2008. In just a few days, I will be flying to Kansai Int'l airport Japan. From there I will take a waiting taxi service to my new home. For the next 4 months as I attend classes at Osaka-Seikei University. Posted by Seth A. Friday, March 28, 2008.

Seth in Japan: Hot hot hot
http://sethinjapan.blogspot.com/2008/07/hot-hot-hot.html
And it will get even worse. August is the hottest month in Japan, which is fun for me, as that's when I'll be farthest away from regular access to air conditioning. I bought a second water-reservoir to make sure I will always have plenty of fluids with me, though it means extra weight, I won't be thirsty out there. And I'm going to shave my head. You'll get pictures. Posted by Seth A. Friday, July 11, 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Kristine Sanchez in Japan. Steve Locke in Istanbul.

Seth in Japan: Climbing Yotei-zan
http://sethinjapan.blogspot.com/2008/08/yotei-zan-1.html
Bit later, a large group of Japanese hikers, I heard the number at 31 people, came in and settled into the 2nd floor sleeping space. Lots of noise, but everyone, including me, went to bed early to be able to get up an hour before dawn and hike to the other side of the mountain and see the sun come up. Posted by Seth A.

Seth in Japan: めいし
http://sethinjapan.blogspot.com/2008/07/blog-post.html
Today I had some business cards printed, and it took forever. That's the way it works sometimes, and being from a graphic arts background, I'm a bit more informed than the average client. The cards are nice though, and the translation a friend did for the back will be very useful as an introduction with 'much-less-likely-to-speak-any-english' Japanese people I will meet in August. Posted by Seth A. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. The cards turned out nice. I want one or two - if you end up with any extra.

Seth in Japan: May 2008
http://sethinjapan.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
From someone just as they walk by, and even after I respond, that's where the conversation starts and ends. In this case, the girls saw me, said hello, asked me where I was going, then walked with me there but did not stay. We left sometime after 5am and came out into the sunlight along with hundreds of Japanese clubbers all around. Posted by Seth A. Saturday, May 31, 2008. Finished eating and feeling good, I hopped on the subway and went north a few stations. Took me a little while, and I had to ask...

Seth in Japan: April 2008
http://sethinjapan.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
1st year painting today, continue with our onion/pepper still life. The pencil drawing I did at the beginning I spent a lot of time on, longer than I would normally with a simple still life. But I've been trying to take it into heart the whole idea of 'look deeper' that I keep hearing in the nihon-ga. I was asked if students work with paints like these, where you combine the pigment and the glue. Nope. Tempera painting at it's finest. Posted by Seth A. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Posted by Seth A.
