Reikanji

2008-04-06T22:09:00.008+09:00

It`s sakura season in Japan! I opted to visit a very very beautiful garden called Reikanji, I didn`t know that it will be so beautiful and that it is open only two times a year, during spring and autumn only.Usually Spring in Japan IS cherry blossoms, but this garden offered far more!! Simply enjoy :)Wonderful moss, with pink flowers spread over it! So romantic.. Flowers over the green moss!What

A small tour on Japanese food!

2007-07-06T16:03:00.000+09:00

I want to present you today some selection of Japanese food you would not usually see in a magazine about Japan.The Japanese cuisine is as every other cuisine in the world rich of delicious dishes and full of imagination!This is one dish of the Kyoto Kaiseki Ryori which consists of up to 13 dishes, Japanese haute cuisine! I got invited by my best friend to try this out! The taste was good, but as

2007-07-03T10:04:00.001+09:00

efish is a very surprising Cafe I visited with some friends in Kyoto.Everything in white with a gallery on the second floor. You can visit my post about Japanese design to see some of the elements of the Gallery!Everything was kept in white which gave it a very clean feeling, very shiny and light..The real attraction was the Lengthy aquarium! WOW as having myself an Aquarium and loving to watch (

The Japanese Tatami!

2007-07-02T09:46:00.000+09:00

I was guided by a very good friend of me to a Tatami maker to get a glimpse on one of the most famous elements of Japanese culture.Even though Japan is very well known for the Tatami, it originated in China. Nowadays it is known as the traditional Japanese flooring in traditional style Japanese houses.I took a look at how to repair a Tatami! And Believe me it was indeed exciting!The covering mat

This is my FAVOURITE band of all time! Pizzicato five.They were very famous in the nineties, but their music is so Avantgarde that if you don't know that fact you'll think this group formed just now!Enjoy the admiration of Japan for India which already started with Buddhism entering Japan some 1400 years ago till today!

Otori

2007-06-28T09:40:00.000+09:00

I was last weekend at my friends house in Otori, a countryside small city to the south of Osaka.Arriving there I was surprised by how nice the houses and the streets looked. Old countryside Osaka at it's best!My friends are the official notes keeper of the priest in their eleventh generation.Well this should mean something..The house of my friends was also a very traditional house, a "farmers

Entsuji is a very fine temple in the north of Kyoto. Founded in 1629 by the Emperor Gomizuno, it became a Zen monastery later.The Temple displays the gardening style of Shakkei (lit. borrowed scenery), The main element being Mount Hiei one of the many Meccas of Japanese Buddhism.Mount Hiei looks really beautiful. In Japan Mountains play a central role in the religious life of the people.Mount

Japanese design, continued!

2007-06-25T10:36:00.000+09:00

I was with Yumi in a very cool cafe called efish in Kyoto! A trendy Cafe showcasing very well youth culture in Japan and especially in the Kansai region!The first floor was already a blast, with a very nice and clear design and some fish..But this will be the topic of the next post ;)On the second floor there was a gallery displaying all sorts of small things.Japanese design borrows heavily

Perspectives

2007-06-22T16:15:00.000+09:00

Usually I take the monorail to go from the place where I live, near "Yamada" station, to "Shibahara" a station 5 minutes away from the main gate.Using The Monorail I see everything everyday from a birds perspective. After some time you get used to that! houses are small, big fields undefinable.. And the Skyline of Osaka your everyday companion against the not so interesting passengers..Suits and

Genuine Japanese design

2007-06-21T13:36:00.000+09:00

This very popular motorcycle illustrates for me the essence of one very popular trend in modern Japanese design, or better, one of the many characteristics that give Japan it's cultural identity.The Motorcycle looks at first sight very clumsy! But if you take a nearer look it is very symmetric.This feeling of #big# and debording like a Sumo wrestler is very characteristic of Japanese design.Many

Hanami and Physics

2007-06-20T13:14:00.000+09:00

So today I wanted to combine the love of the Japanese for flowers, which is apparent in every corner in the city! With my department: The Department of Physics at the Univeristy of Osaka. I am in the 7th floor, so the highest of the building.From the main entrance facing the "chuugoku" highway till the center of the Campus could you see flowers embellishing the road.From the main entrance...Far

Fruits in Japan!

2007-06-17T16:18:00.000+09:00

The variety of fruits in Japan is nearly the same as in the medeterranian!With some differences in form and colour!Incredible but real! I found figs in a garden near the place were I live.A RED sunflower!! Never saw that before.. On the background what you see are neither oranges nor grapefruits! Some Japanese citrus fruit which even my friend didn't know it's name.. Citrus fruits are found here

Japanese culture, lesson 2: Honne and Tatemae

2007-06-08T23:15:00.000+09:00

The Author writes (with some reordering to make things clearer):"There is the way things are and the way we'd like them to be. The reality and the facade. The real reason and the pretext. The substance and the form. Being direct and being diplomatic. And the truth and the white lie. In short, that is honne and tatemae, respectively. Since avoiding conflict and trouble is extremely important in

Cafe Independance

2007-05-31T12:37:00.000+09:00

I was in Kyoto with Yumi doing some sightseeing, and she showed me this GREAT cafe.The Atmosphere was so moody, very Indy. I love those Cafes! In Germany I was with my friends all the time in those places, so I enjoyed it alot to be with her there.Generally, in Japan, Cafes are the places to go for women and couples. Men go to Family restaurants and Izakayas.Japanese women love "Le Chic", anytime

Japan, the Land of the vending machines..

2007-05-30T12:48:00.000+09:00

To all of you who are wondering what is so special about Japanese vending machines I want to present you this picture!Doesn't it look so bright in the night? Attracting you to buy some refreshments..Saying to you, come to me.. come to me.. I am the Light..The Japanese vending machine is an institution, it originated before the "convinient stores" which open 24h/d, the VM were usually the only way

The German JR train!

2007-05-29T17:30:00.001+09:00

So I was returning from my friends house using a JR train and luckily I got the wrong one!!! =DInstead of taking a "local" train which stops at every station, so also at the one I wanted to go out off, I got an express train which only stops at 3 or 4 stations.To my surprise the whole train was decorated with publicity about Germany and German companies.I felt very happy :)I want to share this

Attention! Long post ahead! Grab some Juice and Enjoy! ;DNara is one of the two cities which I like most in Japan (the other one being Kamakura), Nara is located between Osaka and Kyoto to the east.It houses the "Toudaiji" temple, the biggest wooden structure in the world.Because of it's size the Toudaiji is listed by the UNESCO as a world cultural heritage.The present size is one third smaller

2007-05-21T10:34:00.000+09:00

Bertrand (commonly known as Bebs) ;) is one of my best friends in the dorm, we did many things together, and I'm already starting to think about the time without him..Well that's life, people come and go! I'm sure we'll keep in contact :)

2007-05-10T15:53:00.000+09:00

So it was 11:30 when we went out for "nakamozu"-station where our hosts were waiting for us, a friend of Leo and the friend of the friend of Leo. I only slept 4 hours..We go to oomiwa Jinja, the oldest Japanese shinto shrine, well many are said to be the oldest, so I will settle for the term, a very very old shinto shrine ;)The picture of the carps is taken inside the shrine.We had this wonderful

More then one week where people take off and go wherever they want ;)Golden week is an instituition, many holidays meet in that time-frame within two weekends which makes many companies give people at that time holidays and/or people take them themselves ;)Well, me being an avid workaholic, I

I enjoyed eating, dancing Salsa, speaking with many people and simply chilling around and relaxing. Please enjoy these pictures with a very ugly looking, BUT still very happy laughing Arafat :DIn the first

Den Den town!

2007-04-16T18:56:00.000+09:00

So finally after 4 months, I could go for the first time doing some real sightseeing alone. As sightseeing is very scarce because I am too busy, and if, then its coupled with people who want to pass some time with me, it was a big pleasure to go alone on my own. Explore the "Second" Akihabara of Japan with my own pace.Den Den town was once THE electronics hub for the kansai and chuugoku regions

Louis Vuitton

2007-04-13T17:41:00.000+09:00

Reminds me of paintings of Toulouse Lautrec; old women lost in the middle of the turbulent and crazy nightlife of the red districts of Paris, still wanting to be beautiful, but looking ugly and whith them their aura around them.. Notice the Louis Vuitton bag and the man in the back..The shot was taken in the "Hankyu Department store", this is a really big department store belonging to Hankyu

Some basic rules

2007-04-04T13:34:00.000+09:00

This stuff is mostly taken from this site but filtered to the really important points.Uchi SotoJapanese have been raised to think of themselves as part of a group, and their group is always dealing with other groups.Japanese are extremely sensitive to what others might think of them.Some comments: Totally true with some important points to add.First, Japanese act, when working, as a collective

I enjoyed it very much :)Simply enjoy the picutres with me!!The first picture shows the "dohyo", Me and Keiji went at 8 am to buy the tickets, the line was long but we got easily two tickets and then we entered the hall to take a look as it was not so full!We could enjoy Sumo from a very near

The Japanese toilet (part2)

2007-03-17T22:39:00.000+09:00

Well after you eat the tasty Okonomiyaki you need at some point in time to go to a toilet, the best place I know about in Japan is the traditional Japanese toilet.. Well in this case traditional does not necesseraly mean good ;)After a conversation with some Japanese friends of me, they convinced me however that things look far worse in other countries.. For eg. in Tibet where the toilet is 5

Okonomiyaki Madness!

2007-03-13T09:08:00.000+09:00

Hello to all and welcome to a new Entry into my Blog!Yesterday I went with very good friends of me, Jerome and Bertrand (two French), to eat in a very tasty korean restaurant, as Jerome is a Kankoku Ryouri Aficionado! (Korean food lover..), unfortunately the restaurant was closed so we searched for a cheap restaurant to eat as the French guys were very hungry and found a very nice Izakaya!And to

Kiyomizudera, or why Japanese have no real Religion

2007-03-08T17:12:00.000+09:00

Japan is a country without real religion (if religion at all)..As hard as this statement seems to be, this is the plain truth.Naturally you see wonderful shrines and temples everywhere, but these are leftovers from the Meiji restauration, tourist attractions like Asakusa are there to generate enormous quantities of money, or National Symbols without any meaning like the Itsukushima shrine maybe

But should give you an idea about my mood right now :)So this was actually a very strange storm! Everyone thought this night will be doomday, but nothing

Plum blossoming!

2007-03-08T16:40:00.000+09:00

As you maybe know, Japanese is very famous for its Cherry blossoms!BUT what you sure don't know is that Japan has the Plum blossoming as well! A Wonderful opener for spring and to be honest that's where you really get the feeling that life is sparkling again!Viewing of the Plum blossoming is called "Kambai"which is strikingly similar to "Kampai" :D

おせっち！ Osecchi!!

2007-01-09T13:46:00.000+09:00

New years meal called osecchi! In Japan this tradition is unfortunately regressing. Only in traditional families or families which still are proud of their tradition this way of celebrating new year is practiced. Simply take a look at the pictures and how wonderful Japanese culture is...Don't forget, or maybe I should say, #never# forget: Old Japanese culture is one of the most refined cultures

先生！Teacher!

2007-01-08T14:30:00.000+09:00

Very important is also the fact that by learning you

日本としてはたしかに現代国ですがこの写真を見て今の日本と例えば江戸時代日本と全くちがうと思えるよ。。ヨーロッパ人の目で見るからいつもびっくりしていますよ。アジア文化が見なくて辺はヨーロッパみたいなああ。。。When you take a real look at Japan you are always surprised as how modern this modern country is...This Japan has really nothing to do with an Edo Japan or something in that sense, it doesn't even realte to Asian culture in any sense... it reminds me as a European far more of European culture
