In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.  – John Muir

Time and time again, I find that my greatest gifts come from nature. Things that I struggle to find on my own during the hustle and bustle of everyday life are offered to me in abundance when I step outside – mainly, the opportunity to pause, to breathe, to reflect, to connect.

When I travel, I naturally take more time to live in the moment and treasure those special experiences that stir something in my soul. Whether I’m thinking about the bark that’s harvested for washi, or the beautiful landscapes and flora that inspire the prints themselves, I always feel the deep connection between the paper I love and the elements that are essential to its creation. 

These are just a few of the beautiful sights that have left a lasting impression and inspired me in countless ways.
