By focusing on future and possibilities o↵ered by technological advancements and following popular culture is how most people connect with each other. Tradition, expressed by both customs and objects is not something people put much thought in their everyday lives. When unification of everyday culture seems to be the leading trend, by forgetting about traditions countries, ethnic groups, etc. face the real danger of loosing their cultural iden- tity and uniqueness. While museums and galleries do wonderful job of preserving tradition, the best way to preserve it is to find a way to make it again interesting and valuable for younger generations and functional in everyday life. The purpose of this research is to establish a new path in design that combines modern interactive design with traditional wearable artifacts in a natural way.

I was sorry to lose the beautiful lake view, but I found it necessary to remove to the northern quarter of the city, into a very quiet Street behind the mouldering castle. My new home is a katchiu-yashiki, the ancient residence of some samurai of high rank. It is shut off from the street, or rather roadway, skirting the castle moat by a long, high wall coped with tiles. One ascends to the gateway, which is almost as large as that of a temple court, by a low broad flight of stone steps; and projecting from the wall, to the right of the gate, is a look-out window, heavily barred, like a big wooden cage. Thence, in feudal days, armed retainers kept keen watch on all who passed by—invisible watch, for the bars are set so closely that a face behind them cannot be seen from the roadway.

  • Kanzashi Hair Combs & Accessories a Little History of Japanese Hair Adornment
    Japanese Kanzashi Hair Combs & Accessories A Little History of Japanese Hair Adornment Some 400 years ago, Japan took the simple hair comb and transformed it into an elegant beauty accessory that became a work of art. Japanese kushi (combs) and Kanzashi (hairpins) became expressions of a woman’s character, social class and marital status. Until the beginning of the modern era, decorative combs and hairpins, known by the collective name of Kanzashi, have been an important part of Japanese fashion and social culture. Western style jewellery such as rings, necklaces and bracelets was not worn in Japan until the modern era. Instead, women decorated their hair. The elaborate hairstyles (mage), of the Edo (1600 – 1868) period required a tremendous amount of time and money to maintain. Indeed the value of what a woman wore in her hair often far exceeded even the cost of the beautiful silken and embroidered kimono she wore on her back. Hair was so important that it came to symbolize nearly every facet of her existence. Looking at a woman’s hairstyle, you could tell what social class she belonged to, whether she was married or single, her age, and whether she had any children. In this way hair ornaments played an important role in the female wardrobe. Hair accessories were often given as gifts. Until the late 19th century Japan had remained isolated from European influences. However the opening of Japan to the West in 1868 created a new stimulus for Japanese artists. The influence of characteristics of Western art and the demands of the Western market both played a significant part in the re-interpretation of traditional aesthetics values.
