Despite the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all 213 kimonos and obis were displayed in a special exhibition at "Musée du Kimono" at the Kyoto Kyocera Museum of Art in October, 2020.

International Day of Peace 2016

No more is this annual celebration of greater significance than today, when so many are beaten down and discouraged by such divisive world events playing out in our home turfs and affecting us personally.

Then upon her return to the UK in June, Mahala was greeted with the chaotic turmoil and shocking outcome of the Brexit vote.

Back home in the US, the nation and its citizens are sick to the core over this whole electoral circus. Speculation about the 2016 campaign began almost immediately following the 2012 vote. We are all dreading yet hopeful over what is to unfold come November. 

So today is a reprieve we are aching and ready for. We are eager to celebrate such a longed for peace and start the healing in whatever way possible.
