Consider the words
Write them once, only –
In a single inky sweep
On tactile paper
Then add a flower
Close the book
For now
&/or do none of the above

Items: Zori sandals (handmade by Ryoko) x 2
Ryoko is doing all sorts of sewing and other creative work in preparation for baby as well as general use for summertime household management. Amongst her barrage of creativity comes these majestic “zori” sandals made from materials we had around the house. Big for me, smaller for her (obv).
Guest messages and photo book / Dave + Ryoko 4-20 Kekkon-shiki
Of course, we’ll need a guest book and a photo album for the artifacts and sentiments from lovely attendee. In our case, we’ll combine the two (written and photo messages) into one mighty tome with the help of self-service insta-camera (we have 200+ films on the ready!) with snaps added to the book on the spot, then personalized with their written messages.
The book itself is a classic Japanese lacquered artifact, heavy and handbuilt – btw these types of scrapbook are my favourite to make (loads of them usually using recycled board game and calendar paper) – purchased from urban history explorer Jason Vanderhill with assist from Laura Bzowy and hauled over by my kinfolk.
Look forward to settling in on the following Monday to see the photo treats and scribbled missives duly noted by lovely attendees.
