Tiger credits are due

The tiger graphic we used for this blog comes from a fun and exquisite calendar made by Midori, a paper company in Japan. We were lucky enough to get one from our friends Liz (who is doing her PhD in Kobe and is a great resource for all things crafty and all things Japanese), and Katie (who is here in Seattle and just happened to be going to Japan at the perfect time).

The calendar seems to have been discontinued already, but Midori has a lot of great stuff. Its a good chance to practice your Japanese, too: http://www.midori-japan.co.jp/
