Escape from Manhattan

if you find yourself under a dark cloud

or get bored with yourself, dress up your sister

who is always ready for a close-up

then take a sun bath

when hot, seek cloud cover

ponder a tree

get hot to trot

with a bit and bridle

capture infinity and beyond but only in fractions

Zakka

I just learned the meaning of "zakka." It refers to all the 'small, various products used in everyday life', which encompasses household goods, daily necessities and sundries. Zakka has also come to represent a style of art and craft that is simple, charming, and of Japanese esthetic.

Shinzi is one of the worlds best known zakka designers. You can see more of his work here.
