A really bad habit of mine, always bit my bottom lip. Need to break that.
Back to... stuff; I learned about the story behind kodama [left, wooden dolls]:
Pretty interesting Japanese history bit. Any real kodama you find will be old. They were made by common farmers in older Japan when they had a daughter and couldn't afford to keep her. After passing the child along to the next life, they would make one of these dolls to honor her spirit. They were often decorated elaborately, depicting things which the family would have wanted to give their child, if they had the money. (Kimono, etc.)
[Right, clock]: On the wall of a restaurant, I found this old-school clock rather amusing.
Indelible is a good word which I want to use more often.
