First Snow of the Season

On November 22, 2015 By scalesoflibraIn Photography, Play Time2 Comments

I've never completely agreed with the characterization of winter as a gloomy season. Maybe it's because even when I was in a traditional work setting and left home in the dark and got back in the dark, I knew that in between the sun was shining, and in all but one occasion (when I worked …

A Request

Thank you for visiting Warped Frost! I hope you enjoy your time here.

So far I’ve tackled some really long translation projects, and given how much work I put into them, and the fact that I am NOT making money off of this (notice the lack of ads?) I want these translations to stay exclusively on Warped Frost. I’m glad if people read my translations, of course, and don’t mind being linked to. Same goes for my artwork and photographs.

Scenes from around Warped Frost

Umegaemochi, a kind of mochi with sweet bean paste inside and a plum mark grilled onto the outside. A specialty of Dazaifu, there are several shops on the sandō that sell it. Yum! (April 2016)

This one speaks for itself, I think. (February 2010)

Renaioli boat cruise at dusk on the Arno River, Florence. July 2023.

From an ice cream stand on the 参道 (sandō, the road leading up to a temple or shrine) to Dazaifu Tenmangū. They sell normal flavors & unusual flavors. Black sesame isn’t that unusual, but I recommend their tofu flavored ice cream and corn flavored ice cream too. (April 2016)

Close-up! (May 2016)

Tsuki no Matsu, the “Moon Pine” in Ueno Park. I don’t know if this is the same tree ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige depicted in his “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” prints, or if it’s that the nearby temple has been grooming different pines into this shape for hundreds of years. (May 2016)

A shrub flowering over a wall in a canal somewhere in Venice. July 2023

My ita bag!

Based on a photo that originally appeared in the magazine Fool’s Mate

The faithful dog Hachi-ko guarding some cats at his spot in Shibuya. (May 2016)

The Reclining Buddha at Nanzōin, which is the first stop in the 88 temple pilgrimage of Sasaguri & Shikoku. This is the largest bronze reclining Buddha in the world (August 2010)

On the door to Shin-eiji Temple (an annex of Naritasan Temple) in Sapporo, they translated “Pray freely” to “Pray it freely”, which I thought felt more poetic. (May 2016)

A staircase inside Villa La Pietra, New York University’s Florence campus. July 2023.
