Taking over a former 19th-century church on Park Avenue in New York’s Flatiron district, the recently opened @chapelbarnyc is the ideal venue to inaugurate the city’s post-pandemic night life — created by Swedish photography museum @fotografiska and design-led private work and social space @neuehouse, the members-only bar and lounge combines a speakeasy discreteness with a meditative solemnity and a sense of community, sought after qualities in the aftermath of a major health crisis. Add in the cultural cachet of @fotografiska.ny next door, the sulky, jewel-toned interiors by acclaimed design practice @roman_and_williams_, artworks by celebrated British artist and photographer @milesaldridge (including highly stylized photographs from his ‘Immaculée’ series which reference Catholic depictions of female saints in ecstasy), and an eclectically curated menu of signature cocktails and rare spirits, and you get an idea of Chapel Bar’s unique, transcendental appeal.

Seki is a historic town in southern Gifu Prefecture that is famous around the world for its production of high-quality knives and blades. The small town in the middle of Japan was a center of sword making during the Muromachi era (1338-1573), with over 300 swordsmiths working in Seki, producing legendary swords, and earning the town the cool nickname, “The City of Blades.”

Remembering the March 11, 2011, Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami today. I had the chance in the summer of 2017 to visit one of the towns that was almost completely wiped out by the disaster. I enjoyed speaking to the locals and seeing firsthand the recovery process. The small fishing town of Onagawa in Miyagi Prefecture is a shining light of the strong will and never give up attitude of the Japanese people.

March 3 is Hina Matsuri in Japan. This traditional Japanese event is also known as the Doll’s Festival or Girl’s Day and is celebrated across the country. Beautiful “hina” dolls are displayed on red carpet platforms in homes of families with daughters to pray for their health, future, growth, and prosperity. Here is an interesting set I found recently in Gujo Hachiman.

Checked out some samurai sword museums in Seki this morning to do a bit of research for my next article. Seki in southern Gifu Prefecture is known as the “City of Blades” and was a center for sword making during the Muromachi era (1338-1573).

Sunomata Castle is a legendary Japanese castle located near Ogaki in Gifu Prefecture. It is a little hard to get to but is certainly worth a visit with a great story and fascinating history behind its construction.

One of the first things that you see upon arrival at Magome-juku in Gifu Prefecture is this old water wheel. This well-preserved Edo period (1603-1868) post town is like taking a step back in time.

Kagami Mochi is another traditional Japanese New Year’s decoration. It consists of two round mochi topped with a daidai (bitter orange). The two mochi represent the past year and the year ahead with the daidai, which means “generations” in Japanese representing the continuation of a family from one generation to the next. This is my Kagami Mochi from 2021.

Shimekazari is a traditional Japanese New Year’s decoration usually hung on the front door to keep bad spirits away as well as inviting the toshigami or Shinto deity to visit. They are made out of sacred Shinto rice straw rope, pine twigs and carefully crafted zigzag-shaped paper strips called shide. This is my shimekazari to welcome in 2022.

I spent the day walking the Nakasendo in the Kiso Valley researching another project for a client. The Nakasendo was an old stone road that once connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto during the Edo period (1603-1868). We started in Magome-juku in Gifu and walked to Tsumago-juku in Nagano and then on to Nagiso with lots of little interesting spots along the way.

Back in the heyday of indigo dyeing during the Edo Period (1603-1868) there were 17 different family run indigo dye businesses in Gujo Hachiman. Today only one remains, Watanabe Somemono Traditional Indigo Dye Shop. The current master craftsman, Watanabe-san is the 15th generation of his family to take up the business. With a history of over 400 years, this family run shop still painstakingly hand makes every item using traditional techniques and materials to produce top quality products.

Spent the day in the historic castle town of Gujo Hachiman in Gifu Prefecture researching a project for a client. It was a very productive trip as I got to interview the head of the Gujo Odori Preservation Association and the President of the Watanabe Somemono Traditional Indigo Dye Shop. Heading back to Gifu City now on the highway bus
