A fabulous custom made cabinet for displaying a fine 18th Century Porcelain service. In Europe at this time, hand painted porcelain from the Far East was highly prized and sought after as only Japan and China had the secret recipe for hard paste porcelain that was so resilient to temperature. The table ware sets were often made to order with the family coat of arms. The fascination for all things Japanese and Chinese has endured through the centuries and continues to this day.

In Japan the term „monozukuri“, the making of things, is a mindset and method that entails the heartfelt commitment of the executor to give their very best in order to bring an object to perfection. At the same time craft stands synonymous for products and objects that are meant for everyday use and now without ornament or decorative elements. Against the backdrop of this tradition it comes as no surprise that Japanese design still often refers to this tradition. But after the Second World War it mixed with the gradually emerging mass production as practiced in the West.

This decisive shift after 1945 and the overall development of Japanese design well into the present is covered in Naomi Pollock’s compendium „Japanese Design after 1945: A Complete Sourcebook“, published in 2020 by Thames & Hudson: in a total of six chapters devoted to the titans of Japanese design as well as furniture, table ware, lighting and electronics, graphic and packaging design as well as textiles and lifestyle products Pollock provides a very comprehensive overview of the many-faceted Japanese postwar design. Each chapter features portraits of key designers, their important works and daily used design icons. One of these is Kenji Ekuan’s Kikkoman soy sauce bottle, to this day Ekuan’s most significant work and a great example of „monozukuri“ as it took him more than three years and a hundred prototypes to find the perfect shape.

For additional depth each chapter closes with an expert essay focusing on a particular aspect, e.g. the influence of Scandinavian design on Japanese furniture, the development of Japanese car design or an excursion into prewar design which provides additional background insights into its origins in the crafts.

Naomi Pollock’s book is an indispensable companion for anyone interested in Japanese design that also contains countless hints and references for additional research. Highly recommended!

Setogura Museum. Seto Ware Large Ornamental Jar by Kawamoto Masukichi I, 1876

Seto-yaki (瀬戸焼) is produced around the cities of Seto and Owariasahi, in Aichi Prefecture. Seto is one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan, along with Bizen, Echizen, Shigaraki, Tamba and Tokoname. The origin of Seto ware goes back to the beginning of the 19th century. A potter from Seto brought the porcelain process from Kyushu back to his hometown. Local artisans then learned the Chinese-style art of painting and developed ceramic painting depicting Seto’s scenery and nature. By the end of the 19th century, Seto ware had become highly prized in the west and even influenced the Art Nouveau movement in Europe. During the Meiji Period (1868-1912), the production of this most valued of Japanese pottery prospered and comprised tableware, tables, lanterns, and flower vases.

The characteristics of Seto ware are its white unglazed pottery and its dyed and refined designs. Local raw materials are used: motoyamakibushi clay, motoyamagairo clay and sanage feldspar. The use of dyeing techniques for undercoating is a characteristic feature. Dye is applied directly on ceramics and painted designs are placed onto the unglazed pottery. The most famous dye is asbolite, an indigo blue paint.

I would buy a House. A decent house, a sanctuary, modest but decent. I would spend my days decorating it, choosing materials and colours. I would have a Calcatta viola marble top kitchen. Matching small appliances, but not a kettle, not an electric one at least, a cast iron one. I would have selected art at my walls, and dark wooden floors. I would have a cellar for my wines, and home made sloe gin. I would get a cat. Fresh flowers on my tables every Sunday morning, from the market. I would try to get my weekly food shopping from the market and independent shops. I won't travel or go abroad, not yet, I've done it in the past and I've learnt that no matter where you end up your shit is gonna follow you. I would buy books - all the titles I'm writing down without buying them cause it costs too much - and read not all day, but some hours, here and there, jumping from one story to another depending on my mood, picking on them like a selection of chocolates on display. I would get laser hair removal. New teeth. Sign up for hot yoga classes, hire a piano teacher and someone to teach me Japanese and Arabic. I would go to the swimming pool daily, in the morning, come back home and prepare breakfast while watching the news and sipping coffee made out of Nespresso pods. I would have a selection of them. I would of course have my moca machine for good espressos, but I would use it when I feel like to. I would have massages. A trusted hairdresser. A wardrobe that takes a room and a personal tailor to consult once or twice a year. I would do gardening and attend to my bulbs. White flowers only cause their smell is the most fragrant. I would go to operas, theatre pieces, talks, expos. I would bid at auctions after carefully researching every piece I'm interested into. I would learn to sail. To dive. I would follow and encourage every daily curiosity I have, exploring locations as much as information found, well, everywhere, from an article on a magazine or a post online. Every question answered, every small wish fulfilled, be it a set of Bizen ware beer mugs or Kew Garden tickets. And at the end of it all, after this banquet of opportunities and chances with my fat belly and dreamy eyes, if something else will shine, will shine still brighter, enough to catch my sight, on top of this chest of golden coins this pirate soul of mine has accumulated throughout the decades, then, I'll let it be mine. Gently, without forcing.

Without begging out of despair.

To take care of me out of their choice.

Without begging out of despair.

Knowing I have enough.

To be for them the crown jewel they would be for me.

A George I gilt heightened red japanned bureau cabinet, first quarter 18th century

decorated with chinoiserie motifs, the upper section with a double-domed top with later giltwood finials each door with later shaped bevelled mirror opening to reveal a fitted interior with concealed drawers including those behind pull-out columnar pilasters, with two candle slides, the lower section with fitted fall-front bureau above later lopers and two short and two long graduated drawers.

The taste in England for all things 'Indian' (that is Chinese), became firmly established after the restoration of the monarchy in the 1660's, and was initially supplied by Portuguese traders who held a virtual monopoly of trade with China until the end of the 17th century. The Dutch traders were a little more successful than the English in circumventing by nefarious means this monopoly, both countries trading with Chinese merchants in Formosa and at Bantam in Java.

London joiners profited immensely from this and a thriving trade arose in England with wares that were decorated to simulate oriental lacquer. The methods used by the English proponents of this art were fully explained in a book published in 1688 by John Stalker and George Parker entitled 'A Treatise of Japanning and Varnishing Being a compleat Discovery of those Arts with The best way of making all sorts of Varnish for Japan Wood...The Method of Gilding, Burnishing and Lacquering....' (John Stalker & George Parker, A Treatise of Japaning and Varnishing, Oxford, 1688, reprinted by A. Tiranti, London, 1960.) The volume also included 'Above an Hundred distinct Patterns for Japan-work in Imitation of the Indians, for Tables, Stands, Frames, Cabinets, Boxes, &c.' The origins of Stalker and Parker are unclear, although the former's address at the 'Golden Ball in St. James's Market, London' indicates that he was a tradesman. The publication is obviously directed to both the professional and the amateur, the 'recipes' being extremely clear in their direction.

Although the fascinating series of plates illustrating Oriental scenes, pursuits, flowers, trees, birds, animals and butterflies are very similar to the decoration on contemporary cabinet-work, strangely no direct copies have been found. The differences between Oriental, both Chinese and Japanese, and English work is seen in these designs. The decoration of the former is well mannered, in scale, and with reasonable perspective. English work is far more exuberant and 'colourful' in style - birds and butterflies become larger than people and buildings, and the flowering trees and plants form the effect of a fantasy jungle, again totally out of scale with any other elements of the design. The present cabinet, with its lavishly decorated surfaces ornamented with Oriental scenes and figures in gold on a rich red ground continues in this tradition, although it is dated some twenty or thirty years after Stalker and Parker's publication.

Elapsing Years and Inherited Hearts - “Unison” 3

Chrom: Oh my…!

Ruma: You give off the air of a young scholar. It suits you wonderfully.

Chrom: So this is the sort of attire people wore long ago? Thank you for sharing such valuable data with me, Ma’am.

Old Woman: I should be the one thanking you. You make the outfit look simply incredible…

We humans can’t go outside without wearing a cape nowadays so things just aren’t what they used to be.

Nobel: Certainly. When I think about that, I can’t help but find the sun’s heat rather crude.

Ruma: Japanese clothing is made to have good ventilation. In a time long before the sun began to swell—

People would wear attire such as this to feel the wind of each passing season upon their skin. I find it to be a truly elegant and wonderful thing.

Old Woman: I’m sure the kimonos are glad to be finally worn. Please take good care of them.

Ruma: But of course.

♡　♡　♡

Alto: There’s so much to see…!

Nobel: All these traditional Japanese wares make it feel as if we’ve travelled back in time, don't they?

Chrom: I wonder what this is? It’s like a table yet shorter.

Einsatz: This is a traditional Japanese piece of furniture similar to a desk. It is commonly used for writing on.

Chrom: This is a desk? From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like it could be used as one?

Nobel: In the past, Japanese people wouldn’t use chairs. Before the Meiji Era, it was the norm for people to sit on the floor on tatami mats.

Ruma: As a result, writing desks such as these were also built accordingly. You sit at them in seiza like this.

Chrom: Seiza…! This way of kneeling is a traditional Japanese form of sitting!

Depending on the situation, one may even transition into dogeza. Doctor has actually been kind enough to demonstrate it for us before.

Ruma: Hahaha, dogeza, huh? So even Doctor-kun is prone to dramatics.

Alto: Ahaha…that was back when I was asking Esora-Sensei if Chrom and the others could live with us…

Ruma: How commendable of you. Bowing one’s head for the sake of another soul is a wonderful thing.

—Now then, what shall we look at next? I must say, I’m having a very good time.

♡　♡　♡

Chrom: There’s a small tree growing in this tray-shaped container? What is this…?

Ruma: Ahh, that’s a bonsai tree! This one has a beautiful shape…

Bonsais are created by raising and carefully maintaining a tree over a long period of time, sometimes even decades.

Alto: Decades!? They really take that long…!?

Ruma: Yes, they’re known to be everlasting creations. The trees only grow older as more and more time passes by.

One may say that the tray itself is a garden of caged eternity.

Nobel: That’s magnificent. To think that something so incredible can grow in this modern day environment.

Ruma: Indeed, it’s dreadfully hot in this day and age. I’m sure it was awfully hard trying to create accommodations for them to survive the sunlight and temperatures.

…No matter how many times I look at it, the beauty of this pine tree doesn’t fade. I’m simply enchanted by it.

Alto: —Ruma-san, you seem quite knowledgeable about these sorts of things.

Einsatz: Master Ruma has an incredibly deep understanding of this subject. His knowledge far exceeds mine and even Master Nobel’s.

Nobel: He’s the perfect man for an event like this and from the looks of it, he’s having quite a lot of fun too.

Chrom: Ruma-san also has a fondness for tea ceremonies. I wonder if his parameter is related to that sort of traditional culture?

Nobel: …Perhaps.

Alto: Perhaps…?

(Chrom is right, Ruma-san’s parameter certainly seems to be related to that sort of thing.)

(If that’s the case, did he work in that kind of area in the past? It’s rather strange for an android though…)

♡　♡　♡

Time: The next day

Ruma: Now then, as always, let’s do our very best with today’s preparations.

Chrom: Of course!

???: —I told you, it’s utterly unacceptable!

Head of Neighbourhood Association: Please don’t say such a thing!

Alto: Huh? Sounds like there’s a conversation going on over there…

Nobel: It seems to be between the head of the neighbourhood association and someone else…they appear to be wrapped up in an argument.

Ruma: Let’s go check in on them, shall we?

[mayra-quijotescx]

picked up my survivors from the latest art show yesterday (3 of the 4 I submitted, but the economy is in shambles so I'm honestly grateful I sold even one) and was remarking on how my opera fanart ones never* sell, maybe I need to just lurk outside the Wortham Center with a small foldy table and yell at passersby to peruse my wares until security chases me around the building, haha I'm just kidding... UNLESS?

and I spent a little while combing through the HGO website for any potential networking opportunities, and was delighted to learn that they have a queer-centric social group that is free to join if you purchase their smaller package of curated opere! How adorable! And yes, any such group is sure to already be crammed solid with artists far more talented than I**, but artists also tend to love each others' work and engage in the hallowed Passing Of The Same $20 Bill in their admiration. So I click through to see which three works of the 23-24 season made the cut for such a group...

...and one of them was Madame Butterfly.

*drags hands down face* I am so tired. Puccini wrote at least four opere in his life, we don't have to keep trotting out the most*** orientalist thing he ever did. We are nearly a quarter done with the 21st century! There are thousands of other opere that this house could put on! I will never for the life of me comprehend who is clinging to this milk-aged disgrace of a show nor why! Did you know Japan has opera houses of its own now, and presumably opera composers, and definitely opera performers? Maybe give one of their stories a shot instead of Giacomo "Heard About A Japanese Lady Once Through Several Rounds Of 19th-Century Telefono The Night Before His Project Was Due" Puccini? Even if you are absolutely compelled to trot this tired storyline out yet again by whatever deep pockets you're forced to hitch a ride in because we don't fund the arts properly in this country, surely

surely

you could at least have one of the other four works in the season be your second of three shows in the curated mini-season for the queer social group. They're doing a world premiere of Intelligence, about pro-Union women spying to undermine the Confederacy during the US Civil War! That could be fascinating! Or how about The Big Swim, the world premiere of the story of the Lunar New Year Race, which is actually written by people of the story's respective culture? That one's even in February, around the same time as the dusty outdated artifact they're rolling with instead! WHAT IS THE REASON.

*sigh* should i just. call and see if I can still go without dignifying MB with a ticket purchase. Or am I overreacting and should I just suck it up, buy the ticket package, and just not attend that show.

_ *except, in one happy instance, my extremely dramatic Pagliacci one of an eye with clown paint drawn to taper into a bloodstained dagger. God, I was proud of that one. And someone even bought it last year! **[Tony Soprano voice] it's a stereotype and it's offensive ***actually it's probably tied with Turandot for Worst Thing To Emerge On An Opera Stage From 19c. Yellowface Hell. Turandot is also a Puccini work, incidentally. Goddammit, Giacomo.

Japanese happy birthday song lyrics

Japanese happy birthday song lyrics plus#

Your chance of finding fame and wealth decrease with every year.ĭose it feel like your doing laps, and eating food and taking naps,Īnd hoping that some day, perhaps, your life will hold some cheer. So lets drink to your fading health, and hope you don’t remind yourself Happy Birthday, you did not accomplish much.īut you didn’t die this year i guess that’s good enough. Happy Birthday, your life still isn’t over. We let out a joyful sound and sing that stupid song. The fact that you were able to make another trip around the sun.Īnd the whole plan gathers round’ gifts and laughter do will bound, Once a year we celebrate with stupid hats and plastic plates, Funny Happy Birthday Song By Adam Sandler I learned from you, and you can’t even sing. ‘Cause life continues right or wrong when I play this birthday song Now you see me now you don’t watch me dive belowĭeep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and goĪnd I might sink and I might drown but death don’t mean a thing I don’t believe in magic but I do believe in you Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to meĪnd through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melodyĪnd all along I loved the song but I never learned it throughīut since the day you came along, I’ve saved it just for you I love the way we live this life we’re in Though the words come hard to me, I’ll say them just for youįor this is something rare for me this feeling is so new Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn’t be the same Well here are some nice birthday songs along with their lyrics as composed by popular artists. So you must pay extra attention towards the lyrics of the birthday songs. The birthday songs should be melodious, soft in listening and should have the lyrics, which can be remembered for the entire life. But the birthday songs should be selected with much care, as the song should be dedicated entirely to the birthday boy or girl. The birthday songs have the potential of giving the path of words to your feelings. There can be nothing better than conveying your birthday wishes to your loved ones in the form of birthday songs. It is unknown, but speculated upon who wrote the lyrics to “Happy Birthday to You.” While the current copyright status of the song is unclear, Warner claims that unauthorized public performances of the song are technically illegal unless royalties are paid to them. The company holding the copyright was purchased by Warner Chappell in 1990 for $15 million, with the value of “Happy Birthday” estimated at $5 million. This was the first known written version to include the lyrics.

Japanese happy birthday song lyrics plus#

In Canada and other countries where copyright spans the life of the author plus 50 years, the copyright expired in 1985. The version as we know it was copyrighted in 1935 by the Summy Company as an arrangement by Preston Ware Orem, and is scheduled to expire in 2030 in the USA. The verse was originally intended as a classroom greeting entitled “Good Morning to All”. Hill in 1893 when they were school teachers in Louisville, Kentucky. The melody of “Happy Birthday to You” was written by American sisters Patty Hill and Mildred J. “Happy Birthday to You” is often sung when a birthday cake is brought to a party table before the birthday boy or girl blows the candles out on the cake. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, “Happy Birthday to You” is the most popular song in the English language, followed by “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” and “Auld Lang Syne.” The song has been translated into many languages, though it is often sung with the English lyrics even in countries where English is not a primary language. “Happy Birthday to You” is a song which is sung to celebrate the anniversary of a person’s birth.

Mount Fuji on sight

New book available. Have a look!

Heaven, path to heaven, or home of some gods, the summit of the Mount Fuji has been thought of as sacred since ancient times and was forbidden to women until the Meiji era in the late 1860s. Mount Fuji has been present in Japanese folklore since the 10th century, and has always been an inspiration in all forms of culture, from table ware motif to clothes pattern, from decorative prints for home…
