Akiko Murata brings you Ofuku live from her iphone

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Ofuku1

Akiko Murata and Hiro Yumita have been working on a book about Ofuku. The meaning of Ofuku's name means giving happiness and luck in Japanese. The man above pretends to be Ofuku and performs all over the world at his own expense in order to give happiness to people. He's very rich, his day job is as a wedding planner. Ofuku visited Akiko Murata and Hiro Yumita in Burma last summer, they had gone there to bring a little happiness to the children that had lost their parents in the cyclone that devasted their area. Ofuku came with wigs and the monks reaction was that of surprise. They are never surprised. What ever comes they accept. It was like, "Welcome" to everyone.
