Ohana 3 A poem

There was a poem after WW2 that was composed by a german pastor, some of you might have heard of him and looked back and gradually over the years. The past few years kinda affected me and how we percieve rights and human rights.First they came for the Aroma.And I did not speak out because I was not an Aroma(like a special thing people believe in ).Then (soon after) they came for the LGBTQ+ ( and other younger generations than my own) and I did not speak out because I am not not a L or G or B or T or Q or plus.Then they came for the people with disabilities and I did not speak out because I had no disabilities then they speaked to the man but because I am none I did not spoke. Then someone came for me. For the woman in me. I am Shin no Kami because otherwise if I were a man no one came for me. No love, no affection no other things. Except you know love and that was enough for me to recreate something Amazing In Japan too. Hope you like it. She is a boy. And not like me. :)

Ohana 2 Ikebana

 A lot of people asked me why I wanted to do Ikebana in the first place. First thing because it has to do with my name:Hana ( meaning Flower in Japanese) and secondly because I am in love with Japanese Art.  So that been said I wanted to take this chance to learn from a real expert Sanda Lazur (who has been doing Ikebana more than 20 years now) and then there is the Sogetsu Ikebana art that we have been taught at the CSRJ center (Angela Hondru) even though Miss Lazur is not yet acredited by the Sogetsu Center. So after a few years of training with her I wanted to share my love for Ikebana with Sogetsu Ikebana. But it was only brief because as it turns out to do Ikebana you need a lot of special plants and a lot of money. So I've decided for now not to anymore and instead focusing on my love for nature and flora in general. That was the sole reason why I love ikebana, for the lovely "Corcodus" we have here which is such an important heritage piece like Sakura is in Japan. ...

Ohana 1 What happened at Romexpo

 When I was invited to attend the fashion show presented by the Japanese Embassy I thought maybe I am gonna see something interesting, maybe something fashionable, maybe some new designer. I guessed wrong... It was held at Romexpo at the Bookfest event here in Bucharest and since other embassy attendies were there too including CSRJ members (like how I was) I expected something "ah-mazing" to say the least. But I was wrong... Let me explain: 1. The Japanese culture when it comes to clothes it is separated between WA-Fuku (traditional clothing like Kimono and Yukata) and YOU-Fuku (current westly oriented trends) and Appappa (a strange new heritage piece between WA-fuku and You-fuku period). 2. The currently fashion trends in japan when it comes to fashion trends are directed by Big names like Youji Yamamoto. 3. The clothing I saw look more like theater clothes made for Role-playing and not fashion shows. Even Cosplay trends at Anime Events look better. They are not functional ...
