New York, New York!

Since we had some meetings in NYC, I visited Big Apple!
This was the 4th visit, and every time I visit there,
I do feel the power of the city.
It's hard to explain, but I really like the lively people in
the city. Well, "Jaywalking" is a bit dangerous, though!




It was so exciting to see my best friend and colleague,
Cayce. She could join me from San Jose for the meetings.
(Thanks, Cayce!)

From May 17th to 20th, there was a big stationery exhibition,
called "National Stationery Show" in Javits Center(NYC).
I was thrilled to see a lot of the newest stationery
such as cards and pens.
(Let me introduce some trends later!)

The first day was cloudy and rained a little bit,
but the rest of my stay was sunny! Lucky :)
I took a photo of Empire State Building.
I love its cool Art Deco style!

Kanda Matsuri (Festival) in Tokyo

We had a very famous festival, called "Kanda Matsuri" here in Tokyo.
Since our head office is in Kanda area, I took some photos just in front of my office.
It was so cool!



As you can see, they wear the same uniforms and carry a "mikoshi",
portable shrine.
About 100 portable shrines gather for this festival, and
people parades through the streets of Tokyo.
If you are interested in this festival, I'm sure you can find some movies through the Internet like You Tube.



Japan has so many festivals in many places.

Since Winged Wheel's designs are very much inspired by Japanese ancient designs,
you can feel "Japan" from our cards and envelopes.

If you are kimono lovers, I recommend our series 510. (please check
here.)

Have a nice week!
