Archive for the ‘japanese photography book’ Category

The book was shot in Jaipur, India. Our theme for this collection is “I Want Candy” translating into yummy, sugary, candy colors and embellishments of plastic stones and gems.

We were inspired by this Japanese travel book following one single girl’s experience. You’ll notice we only used one model for this book. Her name is Yulia.

Psychologist and creativity coach Eric Maisel refers to wabi-sabi as “the Zen aesthetic that honors that nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.”

He notes that as creators, we may intellectually accept this, but viscerally “we can hardly tolerate shortfalls. They make us want to scream… tear out our hair. They make us want to murder. They drive us mad.”

But artist Shinichi Maruyama, is another who works with uncertainty and lack of control, something many of us find hard to do, especially if we tend to be obsessive and perfectionistic.

Here are examples of his high speed water and ink photography.

He says, “As a photographer my work is subconsciously influenced by the Japanese sense of beauty, which can be found in Wabi-sabi, referring to the beauty of imperfection and understated elegance.”

Dutch filmmaker Peter Delpeut, who inventively embroidered found footage into his own narratives in “Lyrical Nitrate” and “The Forbidden Quest,” uses hand-tinted photographs from the late 19th century to evoke a tine and place in “Felice…Felice…” Shot entirely in an Amsterdam studio, the somber romantic drama’s rather cold formalism may shut out some fest audiences, but those that stick around long enough for it to kick in on an emotional level will find much to admire. Pic was warmly received as the official opener of this year’s Rotterdam Film Festival.
Delpeut’s tragic love story about the cultural chasm between East and West was inspired by the pictures taken by turn-of-the-century Japanese photographers Hikoma Uenoand Renjo Shimooka and Western visitors of the time such as Baron von Stilfried and Felice Beato. The latter is the protagonist of this fictionalized “Madame Butterfly” variant; his hopeless quest to reconjure a lost love is narrated via a letter to his brother back in Holland.
Six years after abandoning his bought bride O-Kiku (Kumi Nakamura) in Nagasaki, photographer and explorer Beato (Johan Leysen) returns to Japan and attempts to track the woman, who has retreated further sand further into his memory. Finding their former home empty he continues on to places they once lived in or visited, traveling across a country now increasingly remote and unfathomable to him. The journey is punctuated by encounters with people who knew them, but the reticence and immovability of the Japanese only adds to Felice’s frustration.
The restraint and lethargic pacing of Delpeut’s direction allow attention to drift to the film’s craftsmanship rather than its drama. Working with actors for the first time, Delpeut elicits intense highly focused performances, most notably from solemn lead Leysen, and from Proett and veteran Yoshi Oida (“The Pillow Book”) as O-Kiku’s troubled father. Similar in some ways to Tran Anh Hung’s “The Scent of Green Papaya,” which also created an Asian environment in a European studio, the film’s artifice is very much part of its spell. Editor Menno Boerema’s work is especially fine in giving a non-static life to the subtly colored photographs that trace Felice’s journey and link the studio scenes.

jobs i could see myself doing would be working at a company (desk job/accounting), sales, designing blogs/commercials/clothes/books, advertising for a company (things like cell phones, clothes, videogames, toys, etc.), work at a magazine/journal, a bit of journalism involved, and also be able to be international and travel in my job sometimes too. something fast-paced and imteresting to me.
sorry i put so many things down, maybe i’m being too broad.

side interests: photography, fashion design (so it would be good if that was at least a little related to my job), and many languages (especially Korean, French, Japanese, Chinese).
also, i’m pretty good at math already so i don’t mind that..and i’ve taken all the required classes for a business field.

i’m not exactly sure what the official program/degree would be called for what i want to do..i kind of know where i ‘m going..would an MBA do it or is that for more different areas/management? what can you do with an MBA?
which two programs/degrees would i pick as my major and minor? suggestions, anyway :)

marketing and accounting sound good for you, you could probably even minor in one and major in the other

Using textbook
Minna no nihongo 2 chapter 49
If you plan on coming to Japan I have found most free Japanese classes use this text book so I would highly recommend familiarising yourself with this book (starting from book one of course, this lesson is taken from book 2)

About the author of the videos:

My name is Merve, I am a Muslim, an engineer from New York, a mom, a wife and a crafter by nature. My parents introduced me to arts and crafts at a very early age. I love doing arts and crafts as a hobby but most importantly to teach my son about nature and manual skills. My parents and I traveled quite a lot, thus I was able to pick up different cultures and languages easily. My parents introduced me to arts and crafts at a very early age. I love doing arts and crafts as a hobby :) .

As a child I watched many Japanese shows. These shows influenced my taste, my skills and even my choice in profession. One of these arts and crafts shows that influenced me was called ¿Can I do it? Or in Japanese, Dekirukana? (できるかな). (Their protagonists were Noppo (ノッポさん Noppo-san), played by Ei Takami, and Gonta (ゴン太くん Gonta-kun). I only watched the show from age 4-5 but it did leave quite an impression in my life as well as in the life of many other children.
