The greatest Hyun Ju Kim who made our trip to Seoul very special.
She is a wonderful friend and superb printmaker.
We miss you Kim!
We've been very fortunate to have friends and family who welcomed us very warmly both Japan and Korea. Thank you very much for being so generous and kind.
Thank you Tokyo and Seoul - it's been so inspiring!

What an amazing trip! Thank you for sharing the images, I am more determined than ever to make it to Japan and Korea.
Yes it was such a great trip! It was a beautiful autumn weather when we were in Seoul - it made a huge difference as Japan was so hot and humid!
