This web site was designed by me and contains original content also created by me. All photographs used were taken by me with the exception of the photograph featured in the Never Be Japanese button as that was taken by my husband of me.

All graphics were created by me and are original creations created with my photographs or graphics (as can be seen in both the Squid Tarts and Beyond Tofu buttons) or they were made with legally obtained clip art (as can be seen in the In Search Of Coffee button).

Brushes created by Miss M can be found on the background featured on all of the pop-up windows on this web site and as a border surronding the main image on all other pages (re: my photograph of the gaurdian diety that I collaged onto my photograph of geisha).

Permission is not granted to use any text, graphics, or photographs shared on this web site anywhere else.
