Tragedy in Japan - Please Donate

No words.

what happened in Japan was terrible.I've never seen such a devastation in my life. So many people without home,basic cares,and completly lost.

Many lost their loved ones in this tragedy.I can't imagine their suffering and how they feel. no one can.

They need all the help they can get,to rebuild almost the entire country. I am very sad,i can't express correctly how i feel,Japan is my dream of country,all my hopes are there. I hope they can rise from this and make again the great country they have,they are such a strong people.

if i could i would get in a plane and go there to help,but i has no possibilities to do it unfortunately.

 If we all help,Japan will be reconstructed,as well as the lives of the japanese people who have lost so many.

Obi Rabbit & Rose - Restored!

So,as you can see my antique obi is restored! the painting was so cracked i couldn't leave it that way. I restored it all by myself,i used glue for the cracked paint wich was raised,and then paint some parts with acrylic ink. et vóilà! it looks like new!

This photo was taken by my love on christmas day. i was wearing my hikizuri Wave Storm with my gold odori obi. it was the first time i dressed on hikizuri. i hope you enjoy it! ;)

Wave Storm

Wonderful,yet strange,i've won this dance hikizuri for only 29$(without shipping). No one else bid so was my chance *_* It has some strange mistery and beauty.

There have been a lot of hikizuris on ebay lately,and they are not so expensive as we first tought. keep on looking,you may get one like this!

My First Katsura

I got my first katsura finally! it is on it's way home *_*

Four Hime Furisode

This is my first furisode,i'm anxious for it to arrive! for me,the ideia of having a furisode was so far away...because they are always so expensive and difficult to win at the auctions.
But then i've found this one,not in auction but "buy it now",with my 3 favorite colors and...it has heian hime! not one but four! i couldn't believe my eyes. I've bought it and i doubt that there are furisode more beautiful than mine! even if you try you won't find for sure :P this furisode's beauty is rare and i'm so happy to have it!
