Passage way from the Chinese cultural center in Phoenix.
People from the search engine are visiting my 2005 New Year post looking for “Akeome Kotoyoro” happy new year in Japanese. I have decided to add a photo to my old post – the photo is from 2009.
2009 ended with Martin Wong memorial, a most fitting finale I must say.
Happy New Year
