Aloha and Happy New Year from Honolulu. I was tickled to find these lucky bamboo and pine arrangements at my neighborhood Longs Drugs. In Japanese tradition, they are placed at the entrances to the home during the New Year’s festivities. Looks like this practice has taken root here, like many other Japanese traditions.
On that topic, I’ve started a new design studio here in Honolulu, with a new website:
localcolorhawaii.com
My first post of the year over there is also about a Japanese New Year’s tradition: mochi soup! Please take a look and if you like what you read, I’d be honored if you’d follow my Local Color blog too.
Wishing you a wonderful, leafy, green 2015!
