Pompadour
is a style of haircut which takes its name from Madame de Pompadour.

The pompadour was a fashion trend in the 1950s among male rockabilly artists and actors.
In recent years the pompadour hair style has been adopted by those enamoured with vintage culture of the late 50s and early 1960s that includes antique cars, hot rods, American folk music, rockabilly bands, and Elvis Presley.

In modern Japanese popular culture, the pompadour is a stereotypical hairstyle often worn by gang members, thugs, members of the yakuza and its junior counterpart bōsōzoku, and other similar groups such as the yankii (high-school hoodlums).
In Japan the style is known as the "Regent" hairstyle, and is often caricatured in various forms of entertainment media such as anime, manga, television, and music videos.

A pompadour is often created by combing the sides of the hair back, while fanning the top of the hair forward and curling over itself. There are numerous ways to sculpt a pompadour. Some only curl the front few inches of their hair up, while others comb their hair back and use their hands to "push" it into its desired place.

Waffeln in Form einer Meerbrasse

CLICK for more photos

Diese Waffeln stillen nicht nur den Hunger nach etwas Süßem, sie bringen auch Glück für den Esser, denn das Wortspiel mit TAI (japanischer Name der Meerbrasse) und MEDE TAI (glückverheißend) bringt jedem Glück. Daher fehlen sie auf keinem Festplatz und kleinere Buden verkaufen sie vor vielen Kaufhäusern, besonders in den kalten Monaten.

Eine Waffel aus Weizenmehl, gefüllt mit süßem Bohnenmus oder Vanillecreme – das ist alles. Der Bäcker hat entweder eine getrennte Waffelform für jeden Fisch oder eine Stange mit mehreren Fischformen nebeneinander, die gleichzeitig über das Kohlenfeuer gehalten werden.
Ahnherr ist die Imagawa-Waffel von einem Laden der Edo-Zeit an der Brücke über den Fluß Imagawa im Stadtteil Kanda. Sie wird aus Weizenmehl, Zucker, Eiern und Wasser gemacht und ist einfach nur rund, mit süßem Bohnenmus oder Vanillecreme gefüllt.

Daraus entwickelten sich Waffeln in verschiedenen Tierformen, aber der TAI mit dem glückverheißenden Schwanzwort machte das Rennen.

Im Schwanzteil ist keine Füllung, den soll man am Schluß „zum Ausputzen des Mundes“ verspeisen. Wieder andere meinen, den Schwanz zuerst zu essen erhöhe das Glück bei den nächsten süßen Bissen.
Oder noch anders:
Die Herren beginnen mit dem Kopf, die Damen mit dem Schwanz. ... Japanische Lebensphilosophie!

Negoro lacquerware was produced at the temple Negoro-ji (根来寺)in Izumi province. The red layers of lacquer of the Negoro wares are intended to gradually wear away with use, revealing the black lacquer underneath. This effect has since been copied and emulated elsewhere.

Mercury was used in the production and the deities for mercury were venerated at the local temples.

quote
Shibata Zeshin
was a famous and revolutionary Japanese painter and lacquerer of the late Edo period and early Meiji era. In Japan, he is ironically known as both too modern, a panderer to the Westernization movement, and also an overly conservative traditionalist who did nothing to stand out from his contemporaries. Despite holding this odd reputation in Japan, Zeshin has come to be well-regarded and much studied among the art world of the West, in England and the United States in particular.

Zeshin learned not only the basics of painting and sketching, but also Japanese tea ceremony, haiku and waka poetry, history, literature and philosophy. This would form the foundation of his training in not only the techniques of the traditional arts, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the aesthetic and philosophy of Japanese traditional art. Many of his works from the period of his studies with Nanrei were fan paintings. The great ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi was impressed with these fan paintings and, approaching the young painter, began a friendship which would last for many years.

Today, one of the greatest collections of Zeshin's works is the Khalili Collections of London, containing over 100 works by the artist.

Shibata Zeshin: Masterpieces of Japanese Lacquer
from the Khalili Collection

(Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Japanese Art)
by Joe Earle

Combining unparalleled technical skill with a highly individual decorative style, Zeshin's paintings and lacquers are imbued with traditional humour, energy and grace, but are fully in tune with the innovative spirit of Meiji-period Japan.

The introduction to this collection looks at the history of haiku and Japanese woodblock books and the relationship these two media have.
Addiss discusses their printed relationship as well as direct influence such as Shibata Zeshin’s “Swallow” as a direct inspiration from an Issa haiku.

Meditation in Nature

A Breath of Fresh Air

By Mark Coleman




Nature teaches us simplicity and contentment,
because in its presence we realize
we need very little to be happy.
Since we are part of the animal kingdom,
our senses are naturally more alive
in the outdoors.
