Today I made a drawstring bag for a certain purpose. I really like The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai🌊 By the way, there are several reasons why I named my goods brand “Making Waves,” and one of them was inspired by this very Japanese artwork.

I made some drawstring bags today for a certain purpose and worked on designing some fabric. I have a lot of things planned to make this month, so I’m excited😊

Today I made chicken mizore-ni. Mizore-ni is a dish where grated daikon radish is added and simmered; it’s seasoned with dashi and soy sauce, and it’s really delicious 🍲

I made Napolitan pasta today. It’s a Japanese pasta dish with lots of ketchup, giving it a slightly sweet taste. It’s a classic café menu in Japan, so I was surprised it’s not common overseas. 🍝

I sometimes see people say, “For payments, wouldn’t dollar stablecoins be better than Bitcoin?” But I don’t think so. People from Korea sometimes buy my goods, but in both Japan and Korea the dollar isn’t a familiar everyday currency, so I don’t feel much need to use it. I also considered pricing my Satoshi plushies in Korean won. But then in Vietnam I’d need Vietnamese dong, and in South Africa rand… which would make management complicated. That’s one reason I price many of my goods at 21,000 sats, and so far this method has worked well.

Today I used some test fabric to design a new outfit for the Satoshi plushies. The Satoshis had fun trying them on together 👕🎭

Today is the day the Satoshis set off on their journey. They seem excited and can’t wait to arrive in Arusha, with Mount Kilimanjaro in view 🇹🇿🏔 Have a great trip, Satoshis!

Goods for the Bitcoin Hub in Tanzania are done! 🇹🇿 They feature an orange check pattern inspired by the Maasai shuka, and Satoshi wears a balaclava, referencing Arusha & Kilimanjaro 🏔 As BITCOIN ARUSHA collaborated with Trezor Academy, I made a Trezor pouch🧵

Tanzania – ARUSHA version of Satoshi: all five are now complete! 🇹🇿 In Arusha, with Mount Kilimanjaro in view, Satoshi is wearing a balaclava in preparation for climbing 🏔 They are dressed in orange outerwear inspired by traditional Maasai check patterns!

March 3rd is Hinamatsuri, so I made chirashi sushi. Hinamatsuri is a traditional Japanese festival celebrating the health and happiness of girls. I also bought hishimochi, a traditional sweet enjoyed on this day — it really makes me feel that spring has arrived 🌸

Arusha Version Satoshi – the fourth one is complete! 🇹🇿 All five will be finished very soon 🎭
