I’ve moved and renamed my blog. It is now called “Exotic Japan” and is at:

http://exotic-japan.com

new logo for my new Exotic Japan blog

So instead of this old  http://thomasgantzblog.com, please visit the new Exotic Japan blog and click on the “Follow” button half way down the right side there to follow it.

I’ll post even more material about Japan as I explore the Tokyo/Yokohama metropolitan area as well as the Japanese countryside. And I’ll still also post about my art and other funny or interesting things that hopefully readers will also enjoy.

I’ll  need to spend time moving all the content from this blog over to that one posting it with the original dates I posted them here, and also I have so much more material about Japan to post. It will be fun.

よろしくね！

Was in Harajuku the other day and wandered around ラフォーレ and saw this little guy who is the mascot of the Lee jeans shop. He even has his little buddy there in the same out fit in front of him.

I’m thinking of getting dorky glasses and growing a goatee. Here is an artist’s rendition of what that might look like. What do you think? :-)
