What is this? and I want this. What? Do I pick sexual jokes often? No, no, I don't have any sexual frustration, don't worry about it.
This is Japanese designer Sakura Adashi's official site. Look at this book shelf "cave", かわいい～ so cute. I want it. She made a Cave for pet too, pets will love it.
I like this Sony Mp3 Walkman S700 ad, This is KISS, this is Blue Man Group, this is Marilyn Manson. S700 is so tough and plays so long, the make up didn't last. Ha ha. I don't know which country's ad this is. I had a really good image for Sony (Japan) ads before; I found this old Ad today on youtube. He was a real monkey, and it's a nice admiring face. But recently see? So many babies and kids. Actually I can find cool ads in foreign Sony (like Bravia. -- I wonder if this is related to Sony Japan), but Sony in Japan seems to lack energy recently. I don't need a conservative Sony.
Tabane-noshi-monyo-furisode is a yuzen-dyed kimono which was made in the 18th Centruy, and it's an Important Cultural Property of Japan. It was under restoration for two years and then finally will be released at Kyoto National museum on the 11th. It's Beautiful. That kimono belonged to a Japanese antique art dealer, but John D. Rockefeller, Jr bought it to give it away to Kyoto where he liked. Thanks, it's a beautiful story too.

Mari, oh Mari, only you can string together stories like this. Which is why we keep coming back to your blog again and again. From crazy ads and Barbie dolls to Edo era yuzen-dyed kimono. Fan-tasu-chiku.
