If you choose Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, as a wintertime destination, you must be a winter sports enthusiast or have a very special reason to do so.  For years I've been spoiled by the year-round mild climate in San Diego, making me a cold weather wimp, so it took me some courage to decide to visit Hokkaido in December.  But my hesitation melted the second I saw a breathtaking view like the one in this painting.  In fact, with or without snow, Hokkaido is beautiful and well known for its unspoiled nature, vast open land, exquisite food and wonderful people.

I am excited that I will have a chance to visit this beautiful land next summer.  I will be teaching a 5-day workshop in the city of Hakodate in Hokkaido, July 29 - August 2, 2013.  Registration opened on December 1 and within 2 weeks more than half the class has been already filled.  If you're interested in joining us, please visit this link for more information.
