What a bizarre name to give something. I could see "Asian food turner" or "Asian cooking turner" or something. But not "Asian turner". Jeez. :-)

1. I thought it was a Japanese watercolorist!
Rain, Steam and Sushi!

3. Sorry. I was referring the 19th century English artist, Turner
One of his most famous paintings is Rain, Steam and Speed:

Actually, I think he worked in oils, not watercolors. My bad!

5. I was wondering if you meant the artist,
since he isn't known as a watercolor person. But even if he were, I would't have gotten it, since I didn't know that painting title, so it would still have been obscure to me.

But I get the joke now - thanks for offering the explanation!

Hey, I tried.
