wonderful wonderful... this ones really amazing. really fantastic job... but why is it "knot" and not "not"?

@benjamin: good question benjamin. if you look closely at the bamboo that the hishyaku (kind of wooden ladle) is resting on, you can see that they are bound together by two pieces of black string, that are knotted on top. i sometimes like to mess around with the title and make it relevant to something in the picture, something subtle that you have to look for.
thanks for the visit and the comment :-)

The "color" in this one is perfect. The focus brings out the subject but yet you're still teasing us to look beyond and figure out what's behind. Lovely shot!

Very beautiful and zen picture! The "duotone" was a good choice to enhance it.
