From the New York Times

Not related to Japan but certainly related to me.......

"Style is unstudied, capricious. Specifically, it is a rubber ducky placed on a plain wooden table, a loop of twine hanging from a bathroom sink instead of a conventional toilet paper dispenser. It is the good sense not to replace chipped heirloom china with something flawless and new, and the wisdom never to waste countless hours building a trellis when a plant displayed in an old sausage tin, or whimsically in a child’s sand pail, will do."

"The Imperfectionist" New York Times. 19 Oct 06.

Yeah that's right.... I GOT STYLE!
