We’re here! It took a six-hour drive to Chicago, 12-hour flight to Tokyo, 90-minute bus ride from the airport, ten-minute walk to the hotel, and a 14-hour jump ahead into tomorrow, but we made it.

Many of those hours on the plane were passed by making progress on another of our homework assignments, a stitched shibori linen piece that feels like it will take a lifetime to complete.

It will all be worth it once we are immersed in stitching and dyeing.  But first, a day to take in as much of Tokyo as we can.
