I found promotions at shopping mall to attract people to buy. It's the season for vilentine's day and many kinds and a big amount of chocolate products are sold at the special counter.
Another view hit my notice. Japanese traditional dolls are being sold now on season sale. They are shown for a while, until the girls festival, "Hinayana Matsuri", on March 3. They Should not be displayed late after the day.
Most parents and grandparents are going to prepare a traditional dolls for the new born daughters or granddaughtes.
I used to arrange display the dolls when my daughter was small at home but recently not any more.
The custom to decorate dolls and make stages for them is a little bit tiresome. Arranging and settling down are much works to do...that's why I give up it nowadays.
I feel sorry for the dolls in the box not to be shown for a long time.
These traditional dolls are dress in 平安時代 clothes, are they? so beautiful but in today's life style, everything goes simple and fast, taking care of decorations needs time and slow life style which is hard to carry on....it's a pity.
返信削除You are right. The era Heian seems slow but only for the noble classified people created those culture. They wore those costume and spent life slow but short.
返信削除Now we live freely and long life ....but quite poor and busy.
Which life do you prefer?
I personally don't think it's fair to have noble class, people should be equal....on the other hand I believe slow life style is more healthy and can enjoy more things which are around us but we always miss when we move fast.
