Japan: traditional clothes

This post is dedicated to traditional japanese clothes (for women). Actually, this should be the first post in the "japan' section", but I didn't have time to pepare it well. So, after all, here it is. I've made some more photos related to kimono and yukata, but I'll keep them for another day. I'll show you some itmes I've got related to them.

As you might know, kimono and yukata are a type of clothes which most japanese women wear (it doesn't mean they do this every day of the year). Kimono is made of silk and is very elegant, while yukata is made of cotton. The blue one that I show hear is a yukata, and it's for summer season. 

Grouplove

Grouplove is, trusting wikipedia, an alternative rock (and something else; I don't really like to classificate things) music band. Nowadays, I've just become an addicted to their music. Actually, I found out their awesome songs watching, a month ago, Sprout, a japanese dorama.

On this serial, you can listen to three of their songs. The one I enjoyed most was "Cruel and Beautiful World". Every time I listen to it, I feel something is happening in my stomach, a strange (but good) sensation. Maybe, it happens because I remember the plot of the dorama (which I enjoyed a lot), but also it's the song itself what make me feel that way.

For this reason, I wanted to show you the group. I hope you'll enjoy it!

(forgive my awkward English, I know I've to improve it)

Japan: Introducció

Avui estreno "secció" (o "etiqueta") sota el nom "Japan".

En aquesta penjaré diverses fotografies de diferents objectes (amulets, roba, llibres, música, figuretes i peluixos kawaii...) provinents del Japó, d'altres països asiàtics o d'altres llocs (indeterminats) inspirats en l'estètica i la cultura del País del Sol Naixent. D'aquesta manera, les entrades rebran el nom de "Japan: X (el tema en qüestió)".

He de puntualitzar que, malgrat que m'interessa molt tot allò que forma part de la cultura i la societat japonesa, no en sóc una entesa. Però, tot i així, m'agradaria tenir-ne un espai dedicat per poder-ne parlar lliurament i compartir coses que m'agraden i trobo curioses.

Kidoairaku

Another one. "Kidoairaku" in japanese (romanji) means "emotions". I think that we should feel and express them more. Nowadays, it looks like we aren't allowed to show them and say what we feel without being under pressure or having people around us judging what we do, how and why. 

I like to use these types of cute wallpapers of flowers patterns and write some mottos on them. It might sounds really weird, but they inspire me.

(I have to add that these photos aren't mine, I found them on the internet.)

I know my English is poor and bad (the writing has mistakes), but practice it here (perhaps) can be useful to me.

Just do it:

(it may look a little kitsch, but -or so- I still like it; in bright colors all things look better)
