My friend Clyde Yoshida is a Renaissance man.  He is known as scholar and artist by a wide circle of San Diego friends, mine and his.  Not long ago he began making soap... soap that looks good and smells good and has the added benefit of doing what all good soap does: It gets you clean. We San Diegans know artists who sculpt in sand and watch the tide come in and wash their work away. Paintings fade. On a time line as long as eternity, nothing is permanent.  The San Diego Museum of Art has a room filled with big objects that guests are invited to rearrange.  Nothing stays the same in the room from day to day.  I like to think of Clyde’s soap as art that disappears gradually over several weeks... and makes the bathroom and anybody who uses the soap in the shower smell great as the bar grows smaller and smaller and finally disappears.  Life is good.

This is Marbled Chocolate Fudge soap.
