Well,im trying to get into gongfu style tea,and its really hard and expensive to get some tea here (i live in South America) and there are very few types of tea,and i dont know if i can use western style loose leaf tea and some stores have just aome pu'er in balls style.
Honestly,there are many tyoe sof teas and many chinese too,but idk kf they are same loose leaf ad true chinese
So,theres this gap there i filled with epoxy and mica,idk really how to remove it all since with a razor blade its hard as hell and i allready cut half my finger lol,i tjought maybe sand it,do you guys any better allternstive?
So,my brush which i oractice calligraphy has this wild hair that wont go together. I tried to tied it but even after that wont stop being a lil punk
Hace mucho tiempo, digamos que 1 año o mas conoci este """peridodico""" que me llamo la atencion, por que esta todo en ingles, decia que me parecia raro ,no conozco a ningun paraguayo que lea noticias nacionales en ingles, pero luego me di cuenta que tambien hablaba y publicitaba a Paraguay como "una joya de pais", pero me parecio raro ya que si lees, es muy pro-santi peña y todo lo que hace. Honestamente me aprece una version va'i de NYT pero no se de ustedes
So,finally i got my raw urushi,but now i got a pretty small problem,i cant any wood proper for urushi. Now,i could find some bowls to practice With the urushi,but they are allready varnished,i dont really know if i could just sand it and remove the varnish then apply the urushi after i can remove it all.
(If you may be asking what wood i am trying to use is Cordia trichotom)
So,i been recently listening to this opera,and hoenstly its quite good! Basically is a operetta of a Tea House that tells the story of Geishas and social problems (Yk some kind of Mikado but geisha ver,making dun specially of ettiquete and the "exotic" geisha's)
One of the things that catxh my eye is that,this opera was the direct competence of The Mikado,it was really famous in Europe (specially in Rusia and central europe) and badiclaly thanks to this opera,we know the word "Geisha".
It kind of saddens me that,this opera at the time was such a boom,and has pretty catchy songs. And now nobody knows it.
There are some productions in modern times (one made in 2013) but honestly,beside audios and some photos deep into internet you cna find,theres nothing else.
I would recomend you listening to it!
Thia si my first time doing kintsugi succesfully,i relaly liked the preocess!
Hoeever,the gold isnt very well seen,anyone knows why?

Se acuerdan que hace unos años,se suponía que íbamos a tener un tren de la gran siete en el pais y que un poco mas el mejor era.
...pase la otr a el por el ferrocarril y ni medio carril hay.
Lo peor creo que es que hay un director de tren.
CUANDO NO HAY TREN HACE CASI 30 AÑOS🥀
Its a urushi supplier and seller from china(?) But its full of ai stuff and says was made this year.
Heres is the link if anyone can check
So,i order urushi and i been having this gut feeling that would take too much time,and honestly u was wondering,in cases where the urushi is not properly stored lr refrigirated,what should you do?
So,in short Ba-ta-clan was once a very famous french opera by Offenbach,the trama is about some french people try to be chinese,but they find out that everyone there was a fake chinese,all of them where french,the joke itself was to mock Napoleon III (and btw he disliked the opera)
I saw very few fragments of this opera,but i never saw a full video of it.
(And yes,the famous place in Paris Ba-ta-clan was made from this opera)
If amyone has a video of the full opera or better,if they saw it live,would be amazing sharing it!
So,i got a pair of chinese brushes i bought from Aliexpress,they do their job fine but they arent exaclty the best,as all you may know buying things from Japan are quite expensive,so i was wondering: what are the best brushes or "good" brushes for shodo ?
(Im in the US btw)
thankfully i could play piano all along till wave 20
A friend of mine,who likes to do manualities gifted me as he knew i liked buddhism,but the big question here is that, how do i use this properly?
(Im used to use larger 108 beads but this one is pretty weird to me aince it had like 27 beads)
Hace algunos meses atrás me encontré en la feria japonesa del centro unos tipejos que traían cosas desde Japón hasta acá paraguay,ha'e "servicio proxy",en otros países de sudamerica ya estaba pero no se si es bueno o barato o tarda.
Si alguien tienen experiencia en traer cosas desde allá o si compro algo por Aiyu digan nms
So,recently i been looking into this old technique called Japanning, i tried to do it by myself but got horrible.
My question is,how to do it properly?
And so,what materials are needed for it?
Thank you ;]
I have been contacting a lot of urushi sellers from Japan; many of their products were great, however, it is quite expensive for what it is. Most of these stores would say that they cannot ship it, while others could ship it, but the shipment costs almost three times the price of the product.
I ended up at Mejiro; I heard it was a good store. First, I asked them if I could buy from them directly; they said yeah, sure, but it is below the minimum for shipping, so they told me I can buy from their store on Amazon.
It has been quite a while since I read here that it is not recommendable to buy urushi from Amazon, and I would like to know, guys, if it is at least safe to buy from Mejiro on Amazon.
(If you ask me what am i trying to buy is Ki-urushi)
Yo tengo pensado salir del país pero me enca taria saber como otros hacen para conseguir ingredientes o comida traditional sjsjsjjsjs
