For my Grandmother,
Olivia Theresa,
whose stories of a youthful, older era fill my childhood memories. Images and tales she told have their counterparts around the world. Here in Japan my fascination with the stories behind mingei stem directly from warm and happy memories she and I shared not too long ago.
