Kaze no namae

I’ve already mentioned how much I enjoyed Patrick Rothfuss’ “The Name of the Wind”, so even though this was an utterly unnecessary purchase, I simply couldn’t resist get the Japanese version of the book when I found it on Amazon Japan.

As is the case with many foreign books (ie Harry Potter), the book is split into 3 separate tomes, each with its own jacket artwork.  The books themselves are very nicely bound with quality paper, and there’s even a map!  This is mostly a collectible, but who knows… maybe one day I’ll pick up enough Japanese to be able to read it.  Yeah…

Just for fun challenge – music images

Last week I uploaded a light-painted image I had taken of my djembe drum.  That led me to thinking – why not do a weekly “challenge” of images based on a theme?

I proposed this to my 2 brothers (let’s call them J3 and J4) and they submitted the following pictures.

Submitted by J3 – Musical Alchemy

Submitted by J4 – Untitled

I think both pics are pretty neat, particularly considering they didn’t have time to think about it.  For “Musical Alchemy”, do any anime fans recognize the reference? 😉

I will try my best to keep doing this weekly – I’ve asked mom to come up with the “theme” for this week.  Rules are simple: anything goes, as long as it is remotely related to the theme.  Photographs, drawings made in Photoshop (or heck, MSPaint) – anything that’s interesting.

If anyone who reads these challenges wants to submit something, please send any submissions to justforfun@njmatsuya.com with the name of the challenge in the subject line.

Check back later for the next theme! 🙂
