Japanese Goods introduces Japaenese traditional items and Japanese culture to abroad. Mainly traditions, and plus a little trend culture, sometimes deep affections of people in Japan.
Why do I introduce the
traditional culture of Japan?
From one hundred and fifty years ago, people in Japan started to pursue more and more wealth.
But we have already known that all the wealth stands upon communal resources, and it has the end.
Little by little, people in Japan have to change the lifestyle and the concept of values.
Only a hundred years ago, we had no high-tech items, but had overflowing joys as well as today.
To know traditions is to recognize the past values and the past wisdoms again. I believe that it will help you and us to brush up own lives more brilliant.
KIMONO
Japanese Traditional Clothes
Kimono is traditional clothes
in Japan, and even today a variety of fabrics with wonderful designs are produced in every regions in Japan. There is no button, made up from simple
cloths, and just held with a sash/belt named "Obi".
You can simply fling it on without an obi, because the texture on the back fabric of the dress is as pleasant as using for a gown. Or just diplay a kimono on your living room. The traditional clothes has wonderful designs including Japanese unique patterns
and seasonal symbols. It will become an established decoration of your room.
