sketching japan: still life in a shodoshima souvenir shop.

Before arriving on Shodoshima, I’d been wondering if there would be any connections between this pilgrimage and the one I did last year. Here in a souvenir shop on the island, it seems I’ve found my answer.

giving thanks on the road: putting it down to experience.
