I also really like the amount of detail that went into making this piece which makes it much more interesting to gaze upon and also makes you appreciate the skill, time and precision this artist put into this piece. ]]> 2017-01-09 18:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146077694 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146146659 Saitō Ippo: Flowers of the Four Seasons, late 18th–early 19th century, Japan 

This piece is what I think of when I think of Japanese art with the flat background and the amount of detail with the gold leafs and rich colors there are on the flowers even though it feel very elegant and simple which to me shows that the artist took time into his art for it to be the best it can be. ]]> 2017-01-10 01:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146146659 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146148879 This art work is made by Shohei Otomo, a modern Japanese illustrator/artist who draws mainly with ballpoint pens. I love all of his work and this one especially because from far away, it looks very simple, but when you really look into the piece, you can see all of the detailing of the piece and the fact that he made all of that with ballpoint pen is fascinating. I also love that he incorporates Japanese culture to represent who he is.]]> 2017-01-10 01:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146148879 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146421311 I am absolutely in love with this artists work because it is so outstanding and surrealistic. Very different than a lot of Japanese style artwork, but the same in a certain way and feel. ]]> 2017-01-11 02:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146421311 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146421874 I realize this piece is seen everywhere, from hipster shop knick knacks to murals in restaurants, but it has always interested me. The colliding and yet co-existing blues and whites of the waves have always struck me as incredibly beautiful and chaotically calm. ]]> 2017-01-11 02:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146421874 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146428856 Alexis Bornemann
Upon looking at this image I knew immediately I wanted to use it. This was created by Ando Hiroshige a very well known Japanese artist whom lived most of his live in the 1800s. I like the image because it has a very calm but also mysterious feeling. ]]> 2017-01-11 05:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146428856 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146429137 Holden Drake
This vehicle perfectly portrays the spirit and culture of Japan.  This is not only an extremely functional sculpture, the passion of its creators runs deeper to expose a near miracle of technological achievement.  No wonder its nickname is Godzilla.]]> 2017-01-11 05:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146429137 majid_kouki https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146430505 This monument in Hiroshima of a young girl named Sadako Sasaki was made to commemorate the thousands of children that died when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. I like this monument because it is a symbol of all the innocent victims that died during the bombing and the harm caused by nuclear warfare.

People do it hand made to make it looks good with style. They can be very creative as they want. Rice with something on top that we can eat the whole thing in the mouth in once time is a convenient and clever idea. I enjoy eating Japanese food a lot. ]]> 2017-01-12 07:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146707625 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146887917 My favorite piece of Japanese art is the Great Wave Off Kanazawa by Hokusai, but since someone already made a post about it, this is another piece. It's modern ukiyo-e pieces made by these 2 guys who combine traditional Japanese art forms with video games, which are pretty big in Japan. Can you guys guess which game this is?]]> 2017-01-12 18:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146887917 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146949908 This is the shrine Itsukushima. Located in Hiroshima, you can sometimes walk out to it during the low tide. I think it looks very pretty and steadfast out there in the ocean water.]]> 2017-01-13 00:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146949908 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146974548 I think this photograph is cool because not too often do you hear of widely acclaimed photographers from Japan, I find his work very interesting not only because I'm a photographer myself but I think it generally has an immense amount of power and meaning behind it.]]> 2017-01-13 07:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/146974548 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/147554276 I think kimono is one of the Japanese  culture I admire because if I look at other countries such as Korea and China (and other places) no one really wears their traditional clothes unless it's a special occasion. But in Japan, I think it is pretty common seeing people wearing traditional clothing such as kimono even when it's not a special day. In Korea no one would really wear "Hanbok" when going to a summer festival. ]]> 2017-01-17 14:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/147554276 https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/147579458 (Samurai)
This is one of my favorite picture of Samurai. i think "Samurai" takes big part of Japanese's culture, and also this photo is really powerful too.]]> 2017-01-17 15:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/kwqq8180ikvs/wish/147579458
