Everything Japanese

Am not sure why, but have always been attracted to everything Japanese. their history, what little I know of their culture, films, the samurai, their clothing styles and furniture.. everything.
Actually my interests extend to all of Asia, but in particular Japan.








The Ghibili studio are producing such wonderful animations, Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favourites, no actually is my favourite.
It's very beautiful.

Most of their stories centre round the struggle of nature versus the all consuming human race.




I love Princess Mononoke - the little tree spirits are so cool.

concerning Japanese fashion, here's an interesting article summing up the historical influences on their styles of clothing.

Some beautifully designed japanese interiors and clothes- particularly interesting for me as there is a little scenic art here-

I found this website that makes beautiful dolls - customisable - color of eyes/ hair etc
I think they're a Korean company.
