#Japanese style: #TOGA

Yasuko Furuta created the brand TOGAToga originates from the Greek word meaning “draped clothes”

Yasuko Furuta work, combines modern elements of western dress with traditional ideas of the Japanese silhouette and elegant design. Furota’s style is best defined by the use of exclusive fabrics that she has researched thoroughly both in format and application with interesting takes on concepts of volume

The essence of the silhouette provided by TOGA’s clothing is urban and avant garde at the same time and has been compared to man of Japan’s top contemporary and past designers

Love these looks from the SS'14 collection:

#Electronic music from Japan: #Haioka

With the "Rei Row" EP, Shintaro Haioka releases his third musical statement on Emerald and Doreen and it appears to be a statement least abstract, clostest to human nature, bearing a natural flow, though experimental ever more.
The artist aspires to communicate a universal language transferred by sampling all sorts of everyday objects like hitting PET-bottles, knocking on a desk, cutting nails… and for the first time he also articulates a message by using his voice….most of the time recording samples over and over again. The electronic treatment is a stark reminder of how the human voice works as a two-sided instrument, which is the most direct approach to music in general, but which can sound alien like no other thing on earth as well. The inherent message of the E.P. is "never be afraid to make a revolution". The artist wants to remind Japanese people of the pride they've once used to show to the world in arts and crafts and fascinating cultural achievements.

Since the effects of the earthquake in 2011 have taken a toll on society's mindset, Japan of today seems to become suppressed by political failures, rushed lifestyles and more ironies than the truths. Haioka and his artistic friends express their disapproval to those general trends through their art - like those woodblock prints which became known as Ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world- the Edo period, when Japan was developing a very bold self awareness, portrayed by a hedonistic lifestyle.), he portraits what's surrounds him by electronic music.

The interpretation is up to all of you listeners who have open ears to outstanding and highly original electronica, seeking for entertainment but also a deeper understanding
