Just messin' around

There was this frog see... he was born and had lived all his life in Kyoto.

Well on day he said to himself; "Hum. I have lived all my life in Kyoto which everybody knows is the center of the world and that anything and everything that is wonderful and of any importance happens here but... Maybe I otta see something more of the world, get out into the real wilds. I know, I'll hop all the way to the very edge of the world, to Osaka!"

Sooo, he started hopping and hopping. After a long while he got about half way there, to Senroika, climbed a tree atop the hill and looked down on Osaka. One look and he said: "Shucky darn, it's just like Kyoto, I might as well go home."

So he did.

I'm just playing around with sumi and Japanese watercolors.
