🎃👻👽Once upon a time, there was a happy Superman⭐️ lived somewhere in Brooklyn, though before he was able to save the world, he ended up throwing a tantrum because his parents, Lois Lane and Clark Kent, didn’t allow him eat more candies before his bedtime. Happy Halloween!🌃#ozzie #halloween #kyokohamada

Until now, I didn't know that seaweed has been foraged and eaten on the coasts of Scotland for generations. I've never visited Scotland before, and the country remains somewhat like a beautiful fairy land to me, which is infused with landscape images from The Game of Thrones (yes, I love the show even though I wonder about the attraction of its violent content -- sorry I'm side tracked here). So, opening the box that arrived from T Magazine full of fresh seaweed foraged in Scotland was a sweet treat. I breathed in the ocean smell, and went, ooh, ahh. You can see the article here in T Magazine. Smoked Dulce seaweed is probably not meant to be eaten with a bowl of rice, but I'm a Japanese person so I couldn't help the temptation. After the shoot, the remaining seaweed was happily eaten by my 4 year old son (last picture) and myself.

If you are a parent who has a child who fights to sleep, (well, probably all parents with small children) this is a book to recommend. I have a Japanese version of the book, and my 3 years old fell asleep on the first night within 10 minutes—a groundbreaking record. But, he is a smart boy and never wants to go to sleep. Now, when I try to read it to him he tells me, that the book is no good. He knows I fall asleep first instead of him. I was hoping that this shoot would be Ozzie’s big chance to break into the modeling business, but he was so excited to see a bed at the studio that all he wanted to do was jump up and down on it. If anyone needs a model to jump up and down on beds, he would be perfect. I had the foresight to have a backup model luckily. Thank you so much Francis, and his mom Jana.
