Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes | Curtises that I despise in me
had a total throw back day yesterday, exploring my total non-existent 1970s roots
watched Dazed and Confused
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ lots of Heart - Dreamboat Annie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
and almost bought a brown suede fringe bag like this
around my birthday for the past few years, I always end up listening to Portishead's debut work over and over, call it my birthday tradition

my tv

Mario DS
EDWIN Jeans
Levis were king of denim here in Japan for the past decade, but a recent Japanese company is taking them on...the name EDWIN is short for EDO (the original name for Tokyo) and then the English word WIN, meaning "Tokyo Wins", meaning they will outsell Levis with a Japanese made jean//
but then they go and pay Brad Pitt to do this...
Car repair shop
hungry?
Really interesting google auto-complete comparison between Japan/China/American/Canada
If you're looking to improve your Japanese, Ive found this website to be extremely helpful.

as of late
sooo good, lots of this around
Washed Out
Life of Leisure
paris packing
spotted on a bike in the Matsusaka streets
rubbing my eyes in disbelief
Osaka Vintage Store Signs
from a recent vintage hunt in the city
Most of the items are grossly overpriced, but still a nice selection
cuteness found in the neighborhood

chills that last forever
like graphic novels? yeah?
I present Tonoharu, the story of an American language teacher in a sleepy Japanese village...sound familiar?
A friend gifted me this book right before I left for Japan, and it mirrored so many of my emotions of living here in small town Japan. Which was an amazing discovery for me, and a great source of comfort, because you cant accurately describe to people outside Japan what it is like to live here, in this situation.
I cant wait to find Part II.
Happy Japanese Haircut Day to me!! I am over the moon excited.
/new decade
/new year
/new city
/new age
/new hair
HOME for the next month...
anyone see that new MIA video?
new read..
I hope it isnt so unhealthy to be reading so much Woolf
haunting Japanese oil painter, who unfortunately passed away in 2009.
Katsuo Tachi
Katsuo Tachi grew up in a honey shop, and as a child accompanied his parents around the mountains to collect honey from their hives all over Japan.
The works demand you acknowledge the action and process of painting - the movement of the brush and paint over the surface, and the artist's physical presence beyond.
smell (1994)
the mystic meaning of the woman,
and the beast (1994)
the four winds of the earth (1995)
