RP: 93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The last of the appellation releases, the 2014 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was brought up in 55% new French oak, which is slightly more than 2013. Deep, rich and earthy, with notes of bouquet garni, smoked earth, licorice, and dark fruits, it has full-bodied richness, a big mid-palate, and is packed with gorgeous amounts of fruit. It's a big, rich wine from this cool climate appellation, yet I suspect it will show more classic Sonoma Coast characteristics with a year or two in the bottle. It's a beautiful wine.

"Kabuki Lion of Tradition" & "Kabuki Lion of Triumph". UV Protected Framed Posters.

(Kabuki Theater, A Cultural Legacy)

For thousands of years the lion, like an ancient Asian lord, lived upon the land in majestic supremacy. So splendid was its nobility that to this day it is still the symbolic protector of JapanÕs most cherished ideals. For centuries this venerated figure has been brought to life in the lyrical dramas of kabuki, JapanÕs unique theatrical form, as an embodiment of the values of human virtue for every Japanese. UV Protected Framed Posters

Throughout the ages, lion allegories found in kabuki performances have been portrayed by artists, but no one conveys their power and message with the skill and sensitivity of Hisashi Otsuka. A disciple of the lion's code himself, he has once again captured the essence of its legacy in the vivid images, Lion of Tradition and Lion of Triumph. Depicted is the dance of Father and Son, the white and red lions, in celebration of the son's emergence into manhood.

The age and wisdom of the father in white are reflected in the youth and vigor of his inheritor as they swirl their elegant manes in jubilation. Perseverance, independence, and gratitude have been realized anew. True to the theme of this inspired work, Hisashi Otsuka has created it with his characteristic commitment to absolute perfection. Thousands of meticulous strokes, each demanding extraordinary patience, and precision, can be seen in the lions flowing manes and intricate costume designs.

Acclaimed as a Master of Composition and color, Hisashi Otsuka further endows his art with marvels of technique that are simply beyond compare.
