    Very little training; very little internet; - - you poor thing! Bless!

    My training has been OK - - apart from problems with left foot, right knee, left wrist and right elbow.
    Just returned from 5-day Summer Seminar [Iaido] - - therefore everything aches - or hurts - depending on bit of body in question.
    Fab seminar - - just too old [in the joints] to appreciate all of it........ today, anyway.
    Keep the faith!

    Oh man Alison!

    now you have gone and written stuff about your toes, how am I ever gonna think straight again
  8. Hi Alison, three years ago you posted a question about the authorship of a ukiyo-e painting labeled "shirakashiko". I came across your forum post while searching for the same information. As far as I know this is a painting from the 1800's by Hokusai and depicts a shirabyoshi dancer. Hopefully you got the info you wanted long before this, but if not... voila!
