Rapis-bag

The hat designer, also a friend of mine,  Rapis, she has sent me pictures for her new bag for 2010-auturm-vinter collection. lol 

I think I may write about her on my blog before, I used to send Scandinavians fabrics to her every second months, and she has been re-arranging to Kimono, Kimono-belt and bags whatever with Scandinavian vintage fabrics. Unfortunately three of pictures which are sent by her are little bit small to see details this time, but can you see such a wonderful many tiny works? She has taken a line with the sequin and beads embroidery on flower motives. And the handle is made of the real black skin. Just amazing job!! I have sent the 5m fabrics from Borås fabrics as designed by Mona Björk for a couple weeks ago sa that I am really looking forward to seeing the picture how she will make the KIMONO belt with it!

Have a nice weekend!!

Japanska te burkar

I got a parcel from Japan again!! lol



This weekend, Studioförbundet Vuxenskolan that I work as the Japanese language teacher has a kind of school festival called “ Höstmässa – HÖSTGLÖD “


Every time for the festival, I show and introduced something from Japan as the Japanese booth. This time I will show a little bit the Japanese green tea ceremony and visitors/guests can test the real Japanese green tea. Also I prepared the Japanese tea cans which is covered the Japanese rice-paper with a couple of different sizes for the sale. Hope all of visitors enjoy for that!

Origami letter

Maybe I got a cold? I felt chilly whole day today.  I have stayed home to just relax and have not done anything special.  But it`s okay sometime to just take it easy with a cup of tea.

Yes! I had one Origami-work which I´ve never tried.

Here is a small letter (or memo?!) with the crane by the rice-paper.

Just write the message inside,  fold and fold with some steps!

You can get your original`s one!

Just arrival !

I have just pick up the parcel this morning.

New fabrics come from Japan.

Bone and Joint Decade Global Movement campaign 2000-2010‏

 Great work!!  Mr. Tesuo Tanaka

Is this the Candy Candy blog?

I would like to talk a little bit serious subject today.  lol

Have you ever heard this “ Bone and Joint Decade Global Movement 2000-2010 “ ?

The goal of the Bone and Joint Decade is to improve the health- related quality of life for people with musculoskeletal disorders throughout the world. This campaign was proposed by Professor Lindberg in Lund University and was formally launched at the headquarters of the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland on January 13, 2000. This comes on the heels of the November 30, 1999 endorsement by the United Nations.
As the 4th campaign of the project for the Bone and Joint Decade Global Movement, Japanese adventurer and also as the ambassador of this campaign, Mr. Hukashi Kazama and his company ( a friend of mine is also a menber of this carvan) has been challenging “ The Americas and Scandinavia 20,000km crossing caravan “ by the bicycle due to announce and spread this campaign to people and seek understanding.
Mr kazama himself, he got an extremely serious injury when he participated by Paris-Dakar Rally.

This great challenging has started on May 18th in Argentina and later they visited Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Cuba, USA, Canada, and Norway. On Sep-3rd, they got in the last country, Sweden and today was their last day to finish the goal in Lund where is the birthplace for the campaign.

It became a sperical day!! I was so happy to greet caravan and to share great moment there.

Some studensts from the Japanese language course from Lund University also greeted caravan with their handmade greeting " Welcome to Lund! "
