Shiro Chalk Art
New chalk from Shiro hair salon. I assume this one is a tie-in to Boy's Day (May 5th). Kintaro (Golden Boy) is a very famous folklore story, and some ukyou-e prints show him fighting giant carp. I think this one is just during a lunch break.
I'm the guy that created the Akira Toriyama Super Database, as well as the .Hack-oriented Helba Gata. Back in the 1990's, I lived in Japan for 2 years, working as a video game programmer and as a technical writer for Hitachi. After returning to the States and living in Texas for 10 years, I've decided to try living in Japan again. I'm interested in various manga, and to a lesser extent various anime. I'm also studying nihon-go.
