introduce myself
Hi steemians...
I'm yoyo from Japan and sometimes in Berlin or somewhere.
I'm still not sure what is going on here;Steemit to be honest, but I tried to post some photos and trying to learn more things from every steemians.
I'm a craftman of Japanese traditional textile stuff, and also I'm a digital archivist recording old craftmans technique or history. I wish I could weaving work as my "job", but it seems difficult to do that because it's too classic weaving technique and just need time and training to create some cloths, so not so many people has interest in our work unfortunately.
So I once worked at refrigerater company and other companies more than 10 years "to live" for what I really want to do=weaving, but I was so frustlated because I couldn't have enough time to what I really wanted to do, so I quit my job 2 years ago and now trying to find some other ways to live with weaving a little more confortable way.
I'm not sure I will post about my weaving work or not yet, but I'm going to share with everyone what I see and what I feel in my life with photos or articles little by little.
And I'm very interested in every culture from all over the world, especially folklore and weaving techniques and of course delicious food.
well... my English is still so so but I'm trying to get improve so I wish you would help me to have more experience having communication in English...
thank you very much for visiting my post here :)
Hajimemashite! Nice to meet you Yo-yo. I'm a huge fan of Japan and Japanese culture and I taught on the JET Programme in Kagoshima back in 2009 (I'm new and did my introduction today also). I'll look forward to reading your posts. Your passion for traditional textiles sounds very interesting. I'm also new to steemit, and did my introduceyourself today Yoroshiku onegaishimasu :)
Hajimemashite @cryptocontender... I'm happy to hear you lived in Kagoshima 2 years! I live in Nara-city, and I've been to Kagoshima several times... actually last time I visited there was in May 2010 to research about weaving tools in Kagoshima... so you might be still there :) Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and looking forward to see your post too! anyway I'll visit your introducction too... Arigato gozaimasu. Kochirakoso yoroshiku onegaishimasu^^*
Haha - wow, yes, I would have been there in May 2010! It's a small world. One of the things I really loved about Kagoshima was all its history - I liked discovering about Saigo Takamori and used to enjoy visiting Sengan-en, the former Shimazu clan residence (you may well have visited it yourself). I also enjoyed taking part in tea ceremonies and being able to dress in yukata - so I'll be very curious to read about the traditional weaving you mentioned. Unfortunately, I never made it to Nara, but one day I hope to bring my children over for a big family holiday... and I'll hopefully be able to visit all the places I missed!
I thought so... it's funny. Yes, since I was working as travel conductor when I was 20's so I visited many beautiful places like Sengan-en,Chiran, Mt.Kaimon and Shiroyama-koen of course! Btw, I think you know about TV station NHK, they have special drama program "Taiga-drama=大河ドラマ” every Sunday at 20:00, this year is about Saigo Takamori... so now Kagoshima is getting popular as sight seeing place again! you should check this site ;)

feel sorry they only have Japanese site for this page... but I think you are interested in this page :) About visit Jpn again sounds really great... I live in central part of Nara-city, so I can visit Todaiji-temple or Nara park by bicycle. But the number of tourist getting super big now and maybe till 2020, so if you try to make plan to visit Kyoto or Tokyo especially, I recommend you to book hotel first... it seems a bit difficult for everyone include Jpns people to book reasonable hotel in these days. anyway, thanks again for your comment!
