My friends in Matsuyama, Shikoku Island, Japan put up this connex-'log cabin' in their garden so I would have a place to stay while there! Note the tanuki beside the door.

Shiyusen

10 Jan 2008 2 181
Sumi-e (Japanese ink and brush painting). The kanji, 'shiyusen', means philosophical drinker. Now shiyusen is often translated as 'heavy drinker' -but I prefer 'philosophical drinker', don't you? :-) January 2008 The two kanji that are combined to say this are 'sake' and 'mountain man', -or 'hermit'. By the way: Many of my Japanese friends believe I painted this as a self portrait. ;-)
