"IRASHAIMASE-WELCOME"

To My Home Of Japanese Culture and Cuisine

Hello my name is Kazuko, I was born in Tokyo Japan in 1938, l presently live in Southern California with my husband of 47 years. We have two grown son's, and four granddaughter's.

My hobbies are crocheting, knitting and sewing. Of the three the one that gives me the most pleasure has to be knitting. l really love the challenge of trying a new pattern, although frustrating at times, when you secede its a highly rewording pastime.
