ami-mation
What is “ami-mation” ?
It is an “Amigurumi” animation video created by illustrator Yosuke Kihara.
“Amigurumi” is a knitted stuffed doll ( knitted is “ami” in Japanese). Using wools in various colors, thickness, patterns or gages, he can create his original amigurumis. It is amazing that a pretty doll is produced with a single string of wool.
Moving and talking amigurumis - check his great “ami-mation” here.
print-paint
Transforming an ordinary landscape or an indoor snap shot to unique drawings; the “print-paint” was inspired by such an idea.
The lines of “print-paint” are drawn by scratching the surface of an original photo. After coloring in the lines, done!

Tabi-shoes : “Tabi-shoes” by sou sou
Remember the “Tabi” type shoes from the Martin Margiela boots or Nike sneakers lines? There is more than Kimono for Japanese traditional clothing, and “Tabi“ is one of them.
The “Tabi-shoes” by sou sou are so comfortable to ware and cute. I bet people can’t help noticing it and telling you “nice shoes!”

Yahoo!JP Auctions & Online shopping service
Today, I can share good news about shopping with you, who may have wanted to shop at Yahoo Japan Auctions or other Japanese online shopping sites.
Most Japanese shopping sites do not deal with customers from overseas, but now you can deal with them through “RINKYA”.
After you won a bit or placed an order, “RINKYA” will represent you and complete the deal on behalf of you, then ship the goods to you from where “RINKYA” is based.
For more information, check out their website. Well, I’m so glad that I can now share the info about those very “kawaii” Japanese online shops with you!
MOS Burger : Japanese burger shop
MOS Burger, it means from the initial letters of “Mountain,Ocean,Sun” is a fast-food restaurant chain (fast-casual) that originated in Japan.
MOS Burger offers a wide variety of unique and original MOS burger, as well as local specialities. Menu and styles might have changed but the MOS policy and passionate commitment to creating delicious,quality burgers has never changed.
My favorite combination is Spicy Mos cheeseburger,Spicy chili dog, French fries and Onion rings with New England clam chowder soup and minestrone.
There are also items called “rice burgers”. The buns are made of rice, and instead of patties,they have cooked shrimps or pork cutlets with miso sauce.
Hankyu men’s : department store in Osaka for only men’s fashion
The “men’s products only” fashion building “Hankyu men’s” has been opened at the Hankyu department store in Osaka.
by MShades
They have the world-first Louis Vuitton shop that only men’s products on offer, or the world-second shop of Tom Ford, who used to work at Gucci, following its NY’s open and so on, and this must be an endlessly-so- interesting department store for those men who are into fashion.

In addition, there are many other men’s only stores of some of the luxury brand such as Bvlgari or Tiffany. On the casual-ware side, they have the Under Cover, N.HOOLYWOOD or Hysteric Glamour etc. on offer.
It sounds like that the “Isetan Men’s” for Tokyo and “Hankyu men’s” for Osaka will become the epicenters of men’s fashion in Japan. I’d love to go there with a guy with a good taste in fashion.
