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 at all. You won't see anyone going outside like this, especially the girls...

4. The strange mixture of colors, cheap fabrik and crane symbols made me think of some Kindergarden level brainstorming who know nothing about Japan, Japanese heritage (especially about fashion and clothing) and since the Japanese Embassy from Romania overlooked this show and coordinated this I must wonder, for whom is it more embarassing? For us Romanians or for the Japanese people?


Thank you for not supporting me, dear japanese Embassy, I really don't approve these type of "fake heritage" event.

Ohana 16 Japan

 I remember in one of my dreams/visions I remembered (I know my logic sucks) something I had to do in Japan at the southern border. Only I knew where the location was. And for some reason the spirits I communicated with made a bridge between my current location and Japan. I performed a dance that finished with me and that samurai dude ontop of a big sakura tree. It was a dance to perform in from of the new god. The one that will reside in Japan (too) as far as I understood. Maybe that's why Tenkei didn't wanted to talk to me anymore. The draw between us, even not seeing each other was too strong and it endangered us both.  Probably that's why he was so surprised to see me. Who knows? I did touch a few whales (even in developer mode) and I keep myself connected to the japanese I have met. He looks like a nice person but I dunno what he sees in me. I even managed (this time) to go to Tenkei's home more than one time. I couldn't do it at that time in 2012. It was way t...

Ohana 8 A new world

I wanted to say something about the last months. I feel like a lot of people (especially artistic people) fell the need to embrace a new world, maybe because the old one is not good enough. This is artists like Coldplay or Enya created songs to cheer the world on for a new world in any sense. Talking about universe like Coldplay or Astra and Luna or Solstice like Enya embrace space outside our atmosphere.  I too whitnessed a change in me since 2 months, but the after effects are still going so I don't know when and how it will end, I feel myself changing, my soul too and I had a lot of visions about what I need to promote. For me I intend on promoting a metallic piano and a new way of Ikebana and I agreed on doing so for the next 12 years. I don't know about you Mr Nomura but I hope you understand that art needs to be refined and more cultivated to express more and better the feeling of " happiness". My happiness occured when I met Him, for the first time and I promis...

Ohana 5- Legends

 I met a girl once she bewitched me but soon after our first meeting she left. I wanted to say to her :"Thank you for meeting me". In the end we never met. Or so the legends say... I don't know what to say. Legends are weird. I woke up recently peeing on myself for laughter explaining to other "people" visiting that I see myself as a leaf and vibrate when I smell a book,that's how I got myself the title as legends. And I became the spirit of my heritage. Huh, Never the person was mentioned... Why? On the other hand when I was also "deciding" things I asked myself why people do thinge differently than I do. It's because they want to feel always strong. Always. Never weak or vulnerable. When it came for me to decide and everyone became responsible for me I wrote down their wishes and made it all happen. That's how I became Kami. Shin no kami desu. Later in the evening we drank coffee. For the first time in 7 years of waiting.
