Taking a Walk

October 13, 2017

Walking is something I wasn’t able to do easily in the recent past. My shaking tremors were full body at times, and if they came on when I was walking, I would most fall with every step, my legs refusing to follow directions.

While it’s not quite finished yet, I thought I’d share some of the photos I took in the process of making a corset.

This weekend’s adventure took us to Onyujima 「大入島」 island. This is a small-ish island off of Saiki port, where some 500 people still live. It has it’s own traditions, the most notable is a style of hula imported in the 20’s from Hawaii that is still practiced in a small dance studio on the island.
