Just a quirky girl from Toronto who loves anything whimsical. I'm a sucker for unique patterns, prints and textures. I'm currently teaching English in Okinawa, Japan. I enjoy experiencing new cultures, meeting new people and listening to their stories.

Okinawa Shisa
From Okinawan mythology, the Shisa is a creature that resembles both a lion and a dog. Often people place ceramic Shisa by the gates of their homes. This is done to protect the home form evils.
