New furniture

April 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized

I wanted to leave Japan with some unique Japanese furniture and last Thursday the opportunity presented itself at a Bazaar.  We bought a jewelry box, a tonsu and a bar.  The woman selling the furniture told us that the brass on the bar is over 100 years old, a lotus and promotes peace and harmony.  I figured that was the only way to get happy drunks in the house.

I ended up pushing the bookcase over and putting the cat tree in front of the window.  The next place we rent won’t be nearly as small (I’m crossing my fingers).

I put the Tonsu in the office.  Another guest bed will eventually go there, but until then, the boys have a new toy.

    We’ve been here since November of 2006 and we’ll probably leave between Nov. of ‘08 and Feb. of ‘09.
