Been a while, all is good in Kobe. Almost finished with design and ready to go to print, so The shop will be back online with new stuff veryyy soooooon.

Anyway, we are kind of lucky in Japan, when it comes to some things, perhaps not a lot of space, but plenty of fun stuff to do. It kind of surprised me when I first came to Japan, that you could walk into any supermarket and pick up a nice big bag of fireworks for $10 or $20, now we are not talking your birthday cake sparklers, although they are nice too, we are talking rockets, fountains, mouse fireworks, all kinds of crazy things. Its a very Japan summertime tradition, to pick up a bag of fireworks, head down to the nearest park, river or beach and just go nuts with the fireworks for a few hours. I can’t imagine never not doing it.

Anyway, we took a little trip the other week and since we were not heading down to the park, we went for the handheld fireworks, they still pack a bit more of a punch than the average old sparkler.
