   SHODO - JAPANESE CALLIGRAPHY -
   
   SHODO means Japanese calligraphy.SHODO is a kind of Japanese traditional art
   and also the way of writing Chinese characters (KANJI) and Japanese
   characters (HIRAGANA). SHODO needs special writing tools; brushes (FUDE), ink
   or an ink stick (SUMI), an ink well (SUZURI), special Japanese paper
   (HANSHI), a felt mat for the paper and a paper weight (BUNCHIN). These tools
   have been used for writing since the 5th century.First people need to rub an
   ink stick (SUMI) on an ink well (SUZURI) and concentrate on writing on the
   paper. They need to focus on the color tone and shading of the ink, also how
   they handle and move a brush (FUDE) in the creation. Great calligraphy
   impresses people by its beauty as well as it can express the creator’s
   character and emotion.Calligraphy came from China around Tang Dynasty
   (618-907) and Japanese calligraphy was affected by many great Chinese
   calligraphers such as Wáng Xīzhī (王羲之). In those days, the high skill of
   SHODO was essential for those in upper class including Samurai.Nowadays, most
   of students in Japan learn how to write calligraphy and SHODO is a typical
   homework during a long holiday and eventually displayed on the wall of the
   class at school. Some people use a brush (FUDE) to write the seasons’
   greeting card and some write their name in the list by FUDE at formal
   occasions such as wedding parties or funerals. SHODO is not just an art but
   is an important skill to communicate with people in their daily
   lives.KAKIZOME, calligraphy for the first time in the year, is a Japanese
   traditional writing ceremony held on the 2nd&nbsp;of January. People usually
   write down their New Year’s resolutions.There is a traditional fire event
   called DONDOYAKI or SAGICHOU on the 15th&nbsp;of January at shrines and
   temples. It means the end of the new year and is believed the new year
   spirits go home with the smoke and the fire. People burn the New year’s
   decorations together with the paper they wrote at KAKIZOME, hoping to improve
   the writing skills and to make their wishes.SHODO has taken a part in a
   traditional part of Japanese culture for many years.

   KUMANO FUDE
   
   The town called Kumano is in a small basin surrounded by mountains, located
   at Aki, Hiroshima prefecture (the southern part of Japan).Kumano has been
   producing brushes for over 180 years. In the Edo period (around the late 18
   century) people in Kumano started purchasing brushes and ink from Nara
   (a&nbsp;former capital between 710 and 792) and resold them for their living
   during the agricultural off-season. Since then, under the Hiroshima local
   government support, they learned and improved the special skills of handling
   brushes, and consequently, Kumano became a famous place for brush
   making.&nbsp;All the steps to produce one brush are manually proceeded. The
   tips of Kumano brushes are intentionally uneven producing an extremely soft
   touch. It is said that it takes over 10 years to handle animal hairs
   properly. All the materials such as natural animal hairs and wooden handles
   are imported from outside of Kumano and Kumano is the place for finishing
   brushes by highly skilled and officially authorized craftsmen.Therefore, the
   skilled makeup artists and celebrities in and outside of Japan are obsessed
   to use Kumano brushes. Our Kumano Fude Makeup Brushes are created by the
   officially authorized and oldest members with over 100 years of history in
   the Kumano area. We offer the finest range of high-quality brushes. Please
   feel free to contact us if you have any questions.&nbsp;You can access us

   TOKYO SANPO
   
   Do you know where Tokyo is actually&nbsp;located in&nbsp;Japan?&nbsp;Tokyo,
   the capital of Japan, consists of 23 special wards, the Tama area, and some
   islands. The impression of the political and economic center, cosmopolitan
   with about&nbsp;14 million citizens probably come from the image of the 23
   wards where 70% of people live.General idea about Tokyo might be something
   like;+ the center of politics, economy, finance, education, culture, and
   anything in Japan.+ extremely crowded in a small area (most populated of
   Japan)+ skyscraper+ high cost of living+ global and diversity+ busy and
   noisyTokyo is not only a megacity surrounded by lots of concrete. If you
   visit Tokyo, you might be amazed to find Tokyo has lots of greens and nature.
   Visiting many famous sightseeing spots quickly is one way, but it is also
   great to wander around the city on foot. Japantotheworld.com introduces some
   carefully selected walking routes to assist overseas visitors to enjoy the
   stay.Let’s look at Japantotheworld.com’s first recommended walking
   route.&lt;Walking Route&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp;Shibuya 渋谷 – Harajuku 原宿 – Omotesando
   表参道First, let's start from Shibuya station. Shibuya station is one of the
   busiest commuter rail stations in Japan along with Shinjuku, Shinagawa,
   Ikebukuro, and Tokyo. It is operated jointly with JR East, Keio, Tokyu, and
   the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, the Hanzomon Line, the Fukutoshin Line, so it
   will be easy to come to Shibuya station wherever from your accommodation.West
   Side of Shibuya station - Hachiko ExitThe statue of Hachiko is a popular
   meeting spot. Hachi is the name of the Japanese Akita dog remembered for his
   loyalty to his owner, waiting for years after his owner’s death which story
   was made into several movies. The Scramble Crossing located in front of the
   station is a popular shooting spot in Tokyo. There is a police station
   nearby, so you can ask them if you need any help. Don’t worry they speak
   English at least. If you feel thirsty, you can start the day with a cup of
   coffee at an extremely crowded Starbucks across the street. After taking some
   pictures at Hachiko Exit, let’s move to the other side of the station.East
   Side of Shibuya station - Chuo Higashi ExitThis surrounding area is always
   under construction like forever and changes its scenery every day. As of the
   end of November 2020, it is still a maze with massive constructions underway.
   You would look up the giant screen of Shibuya Scramble Square. Let’s cross
   the street to Big Camera and start to walk along Meiji street (明治通りMeiji
   Dori). Walk straight along Meiji street, you can find Rayard Miyashita Park
   where shops and restaurants are gathered around. The special
   outside-restaurant area with many Japanese Izakaya would give you a great
   experience of typical Japanese nightlife.&nbsp;Let’s get back here at night
   and keep walking straight for now.&nbsp;Yoyogi Park 代々木公園, Meiji Shirin 明治神宮,
   Harajuku 原宿 Keep walking along Meiji Street, you will reach Gingumae Crossing
   where big shopping buildings are around, the area called Harajuku, the place
   of the mecca of Japanese pop culture. You can find many Kawaii cute things at
   small shops on back allies.If you turn to the left at the corner
   of&nbsp;Gingumae Crossing, keep&nbsp;going straight the street, you will
   reach Meiji Shrine (明治神宮Meiji Jingu) at the end.Let’s visit the shrine and
   appreciate the Japanese solemn atmosphere surrounded by lush green nature.
   You will need 30 minutes at least to walk around this area. If you want to
   relax more, there is Yoyogi Park next to the shrine. It is like Central Park
   in NY, a big oasis in a big city, featuring fresh greens, ponds, wide lawns,
   and a jogging course. Many people enjoy gathering and picnicking every
   weekend. It is also the best place for Hanami (cherry blossom party) and
   Momijigari (red autumn leaves). If you want to visit Yoyogi Park, go out of
   the shrine once and go right along the street, and you will find the entrance
   of this urban park.After you recharge the power, let’s move on walking again
   toward Harajuku Station. The station is renewed in 2020 and some shops newly
   opened. There is also a world-famous Uniqlo. You can get one if you need some
   urgently needed clothes, which sometimes happens when traveling.There is a
   street called Takeshita Street where some Tokyo guide books are likely to
   introduce as a go-to-spot, but it is not as lively as before, so we will
   choose another route. If someone interesting in Takeshita Street, go straight
   toward Harajuku Station Takeshita Exit and you can find the street in front.
   Omotesando 表参道Omotesando is the name of a station as well as the name of the
   main street connecting Harajuku Station (Meiji Jingumae Station)
   and&nbsp;Omotesando Station. OMOTE means front and SANDO an approach to a
   shrine.It is absolutely pleasant to stroll through the street lined with
   beautiful zelkova trees, enjoying the seasonal scenery, fresh green air in
   spring, lushly green in summer, glorious red leaves in autumn, romantic
   Christmas illumination in winter. The fantastic street might remind you of
   the Champs Élysées in Paris.&nbsp;The area contains flagship stores of famous
   fashion brands, fantastic modern architectural buildings, such a very open
   space with luxurious atmospheres gives you the impression of Tokyo’s
   sophisticated aspect.You cannot miss must-go-to shops for buying souvenirs
   for your loved one back home. Two major shops are located in the middle of
   the street; Oriental Bazaar and Kiddy Land. Before you enter Oriental Bazaar,
   take a look in the shop window for a moment where some attractive traditional
   Japanese stuff, such as Samurai armor set, seasonal Ikebana (flowers and
   plants arranged in a vase), old Japanese antique furniture is displayed. Once
   you go into the shop, you are surrounded by Japan, enjoy your shopping on
   spacious floors.&nbsp;On the other hand, Kiddy Land sells typical modern
   Japanese Kawaii products. It is great fun to see toys, figurines,
   stationeries, miscellaneous character-themed items, you would forget all
   about the time.If you feel thirsty, you can find vending machines,
   convenience stores, coffee shops everywhere. Many fancy restaurants are also
   available, so take your time and enjoy strolling around.When you arrive at
   Omotesando crossing, you have some options to spend the rest of your
   day.Option1) Omotesando –&gt; Shibuya, going back to Shibuya station through
   Aoyama street via Miyamasuzaka, about 30 minutes' walk.Option2) Omotesando
   –&gt; JinguGaien, continuing walking through Aoyama street to another
   fantastic line of ginkgo trees, close to the National Stadium of Tokyo2020
   Olympic and Paralympic, about 30 minutes' walk.Option3) Omotesando –&gt;
   Ginza, going to the Ginza area, about 15 minutes by the Tokyo Metro Ginza
   line.Option4) Omotesando –&gt; Asakusa, the&nbsp;Ginza line is such a
   convenient metro to take you to many Japanese sightseeing spots,&nbsp;about
   30 minutes by the Ginza line.※This useful map is available at some
   Information centers in Shibuya. Enjoy your time in Tokyo Walking!

   TATAMI - JAPANESE FLOORING -
   
   Traditional Japanese-style houses have special rooms used a special flooring
   material called Tatami (or Tatami mat) made of rush grasses (Igusa). A room
   with Tatami is called “Washitsu”. Recently the houses become more westernized
   because of the lifestyle change. More houses have no Washitsu though there
   are still some favored this Japanese-style room.In Japan people take off
   their shoes before entering a house which does not bring in any dirt from
   your shoes. Tatami consists of mainly rice straw and rushes (Igusa) and has
   resilient soft surface. Therefore, it is comfortable to sit and lie down
   directly on Tatami.It is said that the distinctive incense of rushes (Igusa)
   has a sedating effect like a healing effect by forest bathing. Japanese find
   a sense of comfort in such Tatami smell when they take a deep breath at
   entering the Tatami rooms (Washitsu) and calm down at lying down directly on
   the Tatami.Nowadays some offices and hotels outside Japan find value of
   Tatami and more places actually implement to use Tatami for their living
   rooms, bed rooms and so on.&lt;Structure of Tatami&gt;The surface of Tatami
   Doko compacted rice straws is covered with woven rushes (Igusa)&nbsp;called
   Tatami Omote, sewn by a band called Tatami Beri. In short, a Tatami is made
   up of three components, the surface Tatami Omote, the inner core Tatami Doko,
   and the border Tatami Beri. The material of Tatami Doko is recently used
   polystyrene foams or insulation boards.&lt;Super Insulation and Moisturizing
   Power&gt;Tatami Doko and Tatami Omote contain air, which results in cutting
   off cold and hot air outside and keeps pleasant room temperature in both
   summer and winter. Rushes (Igusa) absorb moisture by its sponge-like holes
   and emits humidity when it is dry.&nbsp;&lt;Relaxing Effect of
   Tatami&gt;Tatami gives off a pleasant smell of rushes (Igusa). The scent has
   a calming and relaxing effect like a forest bathing. Some studies show that
   rushes (Igusa) absorb carbon dioxide and clean the air.&lt;Soundproof&gt;The
   air in Tatami Doko and rushes (Igusa) absorb the noise. This soundproof
   characteristic reduces the noise of footsteps and provides calm and peaceful
   atmosphere.&nbsp;&lt;Flame Resistance&gt;Compressed rushes (Igusa) contain
   some humidity and has anti-fire properties. When it burns, it is not being
   spread quickly but smoldering. This flame resistance traits is highly
   evaluated by Japan Fire and Disaster Management Agency.&nbsp;OEM products
   also available. Please feel free to contact us if you have any requests or
   questions on the products.
