I am on my gorgeous tiny island now after a "beyond chalk full" first day in Tokyo !

Words cannot express just how beautiful it is in Amami Oshima ! !

WHOA !

White coral everywhere !
My room is on the beach with a balcony and a vast, endless ocean view.

This little inn is so precious - with a capacity of only 6 ( :
Rustic.
Everything so spare and gorgeous.
Shin Nakahara, my gracious gallerist and new friend, arranged for all of this.
We share a large suite with a central room and then our private rooms forking off from there.
We are the 3 main contributors to the show:
Ruth
Matt
Llane
& Shin
Here.

The first thing we did was frolic in the water !
Indigo blue, really a deep gorgeous blue.

With white coral everywhere on the beach !

Very pooped, but can hear the steady back and forth of the waves a stones throw away, with a very distant horizon towards my California coast.


It's been a long wonder full day !
Jet lagged and must sleep.


Love this amazing country very much,
Nitey nite,
