This is a look back on what I wrote about on March 18th since coming to Japan. (Click on the year to see more photos and the full post.)
Year two, week 45 of the temperature quilt.
Yabusame is Japanese archery while riding a horse. I was able to see it done while visiting Odawara Castle.
T was for Temari that year.
I took Kendo classes in 2016.
On this day, I posted about finishing Queen Elizabeth I.
This was a Take A Stitch Tuesday post and that week I learned the Butterfly Chain Stitch.
I was working on my blackwork peacock and I posted some progress photos.
Masks - Yes! Back in 2012, when I was still very new to Japan, I noticed people wearing masks. Who knew then that we would all be wearing and needing them when a pandemic struck years later?
I've had some incredible experiences in Japan and I enjoy looking back on my posts. I hope you do too!

Lovely to look back at what you were doing. Time travels so fast.
Wonderful to look back on what you have done. Before the pandemic I often saw Asian people wearing masks around Melbourne, I thought how uncomfortable it would be wearing them for a long stretch of time, now I know how it feels for myself!
I enjoy these "Throwback" posts. It is interesting to see what you have been doing over the years.
I certainly did enjoy look at your throwback Thursdays.
I, too, was amazed by the amount of people wearing mask. I had of course seen it in pictures, but when I started living here in 1980 it was overwhelming. I soon picked up the habit and since then have worn mask whenever I have had a cold.
I love your Elizabeth I.
I love your look-backs. I remember the wearing of masks puzzled and also inspired me back in 1999 or so when I visited. Great photos!
You're throwback posts are always such fun excursions to your past adventures and stitching!
