We did two weeks of shooting in Tokyo and two days in Vancouver. I didn’t take many pictures, but I really like this one of the crew and my co-star in a back street near Okubo Station. I’ll post more information about the film when it is finished. Should be sometime early next year. </p>http://blog.clairetanaka.com/post/1686282592http://blog.clairetanaka.com/post/1686282592Fri, 26 Nov 2010 11:00:00 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_la6ptbBUGO1qa01w2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.in-kamiyama.jp/en/art/9291/">I brought Sofie up to Kamiyama and she took a ton of photos.</a></p>http://blog.clairetanaka.com/post/1299298392http://blog.clairetanaka.com/post/1299298392Wed, 13 Oct 2010 01:00:47 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9a22iinFw1qa01w2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a title="in Kamiyama " href="http://www.in-kamiyama.jp/en/art/9161/">I posted a photo-log of this year’s KAIR Open Atelier day.</a></p>http://blog.clairetanaka.com/post/1181690175http://blog.clairetanaka.com/post/1181690175Sat, 25 Sep 2010 09:44:00 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l92nzdw8S21qa01w2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a title="Canada Diary" href="http://www.in-kamiyama.jp/diary/8233/">I wrote a series of articles in Japanese during my summer holiday in Canada.</a></p>http://blog.clairetanaka.com/post/1158711015http://blog.clairetanaka.com/post/1158711015Tue, 21 Sep 2010 09:57:00 +0900<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9a4z8peVo1qa01w2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span><a title="Michiko in Snow Mag" href="http://snow-mag.com/2010/07/michiko-tsuda/">Michiko Tsuda makes handmade clothing and accessories.
