Illustration Friday 24: Tea, originally uploaded by pantufla.

A Japanese myth about the meditative Buddhist monk, Bodhidharma, describes how he cut off and threw his drooping eyelids to the ground in frustration at his inability to say awake. Tea bushes sprang up where the eyelids fell. The leaves of these new bushes miraculously cured his fatigue.

Tea is not native to Japan, so this myth does at least provide an explanation for its sudden appearance on the islands. The reality is less colourful: early in the ninth century, a far-sighted Japanese monk called Dengyo Daishi brought tea seeds back with him from China.

Oh no..looks like Riso, the Japanese company that makes the awesome Gocco mini screenprinting kits, is discontinuing them. I guess they don't realize how many hipsters (like me) are printing with them. What a bad decision. Luckily, there's a Save Gocco campaign that aims to get another company to pick up the product. Gocco could use some redesign to make it more versatile: right now, it relies on it's own brand of flash bulbs, mini screens, and inks. Dick Blick, Flax, Paper Source, Kate's Paperie, Pearl Paint, anybody! Please save Gocco!
