Around the 1800s, the culture of Japonism was born overseas. This coincided with the period when Japan stopped its isolation and began trading with foreign countries. Europeans, who had originally been exposed to Chinese culture, quickly accepted Japanese art and incorporated it into their daily lives. The period was medieval France. Monet, the world-famous capital of art, used ukiyoe as wrapping paper for his art works. He was so impressed by the wrapping paper that he transformed it into art. There is a fine line between art and mere wrapping paper. I wonder if there might be some eggs that could become art lying here and there in our surroundings. The important point is awareness. I digress today.

  Haruna Tokimatu's works are characterized by a concept that fuses time and people. She expresses her world view with a little humor. I have the impression that she especially expresses  "happiness" and portrays it well with human expressions. She also releases three-dimensional works, and since he is close to my age, he is a Japanese artist that I would like to personally pay attention too. Must check her works!!

Switzerland watch are most popular and famous in Japan like ROLEX , OMEGA … But Japanese especially business man prefer to use Japanese watch to look more serious and our strange culture.   Biggest Japanese watch maker are #SEIKO #CITIZEN #CASIO   SEIKO has luxury series “Grand Seiko” it tooks $2k to 5k (USD). Meanwhile CASIO has famous products “G-shock”. It is one of popular general watch from kids to adult.   For me , I love OMEGA… Opps I prefer SEIKO because of time accuracy. Also standard SEIKO is pretty cheap from $100-. So I don’t need to care any scratch and damage for that.   In order to business SEIKO is best , for everyday use like playing with kids or doing any sports , Then G-shock is best if I recommend you.   I don’t handle exporting Japanese watch right now. But 10years ago I was exporter to South East Asia countries.   Try to find Japanese accuracy watch !!  

In Japan, there is a place called "tokonoma" in old type Japanese houses. The tokonoma is a place where flowers and works of art are displayed, and was introduced into Japanese homes about 500 years ago. One of the works of art displayed in the alcove is the kakejiku, a made of paper and rolled into a scroll. Kakejiku are paper scrolls of art that are very tasteful. Many of the works are by Japanese artists, and Fukuzumi Gallery carries a large number of kakejiku scrolls. If you live in an American house without an alcove, you can install a hanging scroll in your staircase or bedroom. The key is to place it on a wall where children cannot reach it and people cannot touch it.
