Japanese items for sale.

Looking for Japanese items.well I have to say eBay is a good place to start. Whether you are looking for furniture or even comic books you're sure to find something that sparks your interest. I myself have been in Japan for a number of years I think five in total, so sometimes I miss the place. I have developed a great interest in the country and therefore I like to collect all types of Japanese items. I am particularly fond of the period from World War II until the early to mid-1970s. in Japan they call this era to showa era. Anyway I would like to hear from other people if they have found any interesting items on eBay. Also it is interesting that eBay is not a very popular website within Japan. It seems that Yahoo auction is a far more popular website to use for online auctions. The differences between Japan and the West have always fascinated me. I wonder how two places can be so different. Anyway you must be thinking why I'm rambling on in this post in the manner that I'm doing. While the reason is that I'm very excited about this new software I was able to purchase. It's a speech to text software so if you see any spelling errors within this article then you know why. Anyway as you can see it's been working very well for me. And I really want to keep adding to this everything Japan blog as much as possible now that I have this new technology to play around with. So stay tuned and surely you'll see a lot of new articles coming your way. Also don't forget to visit my social network site. reviewjapan.ning.com I have listed it in some posts on this blog. Enjoy and keep on posting.

I'm glad to see there has been a positive reaction to this new social network. As I'm writing this article there are close to 200 members in total. I hope to see that number grow and grow as time goes on. There'd been a number of interesting articles too many to count indeed. And there are also a number of interesting videos. Almost all the videos are from youtube, but you will see that there are very relevant content for this type of website.

Kyoto Temple.

I wasn't allowed to take this photo, but I did anyway. I didn't use flash however. I guess flash photography can damage these statues in some way.

Onsen

A typical Onsen at an upscale resort. Open 24 hours. Gotta love it. Complete privacy.

Still Life arangement

A very nice still life arrangement at a very nice but expensive Ryokan in Northern Japan. I love the rough paper texture.

Ugly 70's building.

l















Japan if full of ugly building left over from the 60's, 70's and 80's. They tend to take every design trend to the extreme, so when the trend has past, the building look even more out of date. I however feel that these buildings have a lot of character and charm. This photo was taken in Northern Japan, somewhere near Akita.

Model Cars

Japanese love their detailed model cars. They are very proud of their automotive heritage.

American goods

American goods are very popular in Japan. Here is a picture from Ueno. I love the old cigarette machine, and the paper box.

Outdoor eating experience.

This is a typical after work activity for the Japanese salery man. Eating in one of these open air izakayas. This photo was taken in Ueno in 2006.

Video Game Arcade.

A typical arcade in Tokyo. This photo was taken in Iidabashi, Kagurazaka. It is too bad that in North America, arcades have basically disappeared. In Japan it is a great place to let off some steam after work.

Video games are too damn addictive!

I have recently started playing Halo 2 online, and it has become an obsession for me. Halo is fun enough on it's own, but online it's just too much fun. Surely this is the way of the future. An escape into a virtual world. Truly, virtual worlds are more exciting than reality. One can't walk down a street with a gun and start shooting people, but in Halo, anything goes. My next steep will be to find some Japanese gamers who play halo online. I could get to practice my Japanese and play Halo at the same time! If anybody out there wants to know my gamer tag, it is Onlyprogenesis
Fell free to add me, and I would love to go for a few rounds.

Japanese Artist- PAY Katsuyuki

Here Is the website of an artist I worked with a year ago. We made T-shirts together and did one art exhibition. I have lost contact with him, so I am not sure what he is up to these days, but fortunatly I still have a link to his website. http://homepage.mac.com/payroyal/Menu31.html
He took part in Nuit Blanche (Night White), and all night art exhibition that has become a popular annual event. See http://scotiabanknuitblanche.com/home.html

Shimura Ken

Shimura Ken-Funniest man in Japan.....I think

Shimura Ken is by far my favourite Japanese comedian. I think his personality, and humble character are different from all the others. It is hard to describe, but I think the reason I like him is because he subtly laughs at his own jokes. I like the fact that he cracks himself up. His old man and woman imitations are funny too.

Letters from Iwo Jima

Letters from Iwo Jima was probably my favourite movie from 2006. It was directed by Clint Eastwood. I have to say, for an American, he really captured the true Japanese spirit and sense of humanity. He truely is a genius. I was surprised to learn that the role of Saigo (It actually means last, as he was the last surviving) was played by Kazunari Ninomiya, a member of the idol group Arashi. Arashi means storm by the way. The group is members with the same company as Smap. That would be Johnny's entertainment. Heck, sometimes boy bands to produce quality. Didn't the same thing happen with the back street boys?

American media vs Japanese Media.

I may be wrong on this but in Japan they don't go to the same level to harass and embarrass famous people to make a buck like they do in the USA. Maybe the USA could learn something from this because is it really fair to embarrass somebody to this level. Check out my article on Kiefer Sutherland

But I may be wrong on this point, so please comment if you have more info or opinions.

Sato Eriko

I was really in Sato Eriko at the time when this film came out. I think she is famous for her really really long legs. Not too many Japanese girls are built like that. An interesting side note, Japanese like to condense words to make them easier to say. Sato Eriko would be Satoeri. Kimura Takuya would be Kimutaku. Kei Truck would be Keitora. You get the picture.

Hummm, lets vote on the hotest girls in Japan.

I would put it in this order.
4. Any suggestions for 4 to 10 anyone?
3.Inoue waka 井上和香-I guess she is known for her rack, not the thing you put magazines on.
2. Sato Eriko-From Cutie Honey. Long long legs.
1. Anna Tsuchiya-The Half western singer/actor. Looks more western than Japanese.
