This month, I watched a movie that I had been waiting for since last Cannes festival : Wim Wenders "Perfect Days". It is a poetic journey in Tokyo, day after day, following Hirayama's rounds of the Tokyoite toilets, and his quiet contemplative life.

I feel such kinship with this movie... Some may find it dull, but I call it wonderful and it brims with the gratitude and awareness that is the essence of sketchbooking.

Let's share with you the days of April at Maison Legrand, and the way I captured their fleeting moments of grace...
