On the relationship between art and Japanese self-esteem

I thought I should tell you at the beginning, I don't know much about art. But I'm interested. A while ago, I went to The Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo with my ex-girlfriend at the time. This museum has several floors and many works are on display. It felt like an art museum with a high level of difficulty. It took over two hours to go all the way around, and I remember my legs getting tired and sore. After visiting the museum, we took a walk around the nearby Imperial Palace. I also recently went to Ginza to see an exhibition by calligrapher Souun Takeda. Mr. Takeda has produced various works of art derived from calligraphy. He is famous in Japan. If you look at his works, he included wonderful kanji such as love and gratitude. I felt a positive energy like the joy of living. Another person I'm paying attention to is the painter Shogen. He was staying in the village of Bunju in Tanzania, Africa. He is also a popular YouTuber with over 200,000 subscribers. Shogen learned about the philosophy of life and what happiness is from the natives of Bunju village. That experience is reflected in his work. In this way, I like to learn about the artist's personality, thoughts, and background before seeing the work. I'm not an art expert and I don't have a great sense of sensibility, so I thought it would be better to understand the background of the work before looking at it ...

The person I used to be is not me

I'm 29 years old and currently live in Kanagawa Prefecture, but I lived in Okayama Prefecture until I was 10 years old. It takes about 3 hours by bullet train from Kanagawa to Okayama. I sometimes think back to when I was in Okayama and feel nostalgic. I sometimes wonder what my old best friend is doing. However, since I transferred to another school when I was 10 years old, I have no idea where my friends from back then were. The only people I know are some relatives. A few years ago, I went to see Soja City in Okayama Prefecture, where I lived until I was 10 years old. We rented bicycles and strolled around the Soja area. At that time, I realized that Soja City felt smaller than I had imagined. Soja is a quiet area with a small population, so it may be natural that it looks small. I had been going to the big city ever since I left Okayama, and I was used to seeing skyscrapers, so I think that influenced me as well. Also, when I lived in Okayama, I was still a child and small, and now that I'm an adult, the way I see the city is completely different. When I was a child, I was filled with things happening right in front of my eyes, and now I feel like I look at them more objectively. Also, when I fantasize about my time in Soja, I feel nostalgic, but for some reason I don't feel ...

Thoughts on health of a 29-year-old Japanese man

I usually eat what I feel like eating at the time. There are no particular dietary restrictions. Of course, I also know that if I eat an unbalanced diet, I'm more likely to get sick and my physical condition won't be at its best. However, I think holding back what you want to eat is bad for your health and psychologically. I believe that it is possible to live a happy life by eating a lot of what you like. Just don't get me wrong. I originally went to school for organic farming, so I want to eat healthy food. However, there are times when you want to eat junk food. Also, I would like to note that there is research data that shows that what we thought was healthy is actually not. For example, many Japanese people think that drinking milk is healthy, and they are given a pack of milk every day for school lunches. However, some people may become ill in the future if they continue to consume milk and dairy products, so this is not necessarily a good thing. The same goes for vegetables. Health hazards have been reported from consuming too much raw vegetables. Also, people in Japan who are highly health conscious are particular about using organic vegetables, without pesticides or additives. However, for some reason, people who continue to live an organic, additive-free lifestyle have their skin ruined or die from cancer. What is the cause of this contradiction? Is it hereditary? I think it's because my diet ...

Blog articles by Japanese guy who enjoy jazz as a hobby

When it comes to music genres, I like jazz. My younger brother played the saxophone, which is what got me interested in jazz. One day, when I went to a live performance by my younger brother's saxophone teacher, I realized that jazz was extremely cool and attractive. I'm a guy, so I'm generally attracted to cool things. For me, cool is jazz. I like the mature atmosphere that reminds me of a romantic night. They also exude intelligence. However, at first I had a negative impression that jazz was somehow difficult. Club music, K-pop, and J-pop can be enjoyed by basically anyone, regardless of whether they are familiar with music or not. But I thought that jazz was only for a few people, like the upper class. Also, jazz doesn't have lyrics, and at first glance it looks like just background music. It's hard to imagine it being enjoyed for entertainment purposes like K-pop. However, along the way, I realized that jazz doesn't require difficult knowledge. It was written in a certain jazz book that all you have to do is feel your five senses and enjoy it. Once I let go of the strong prejudice that jazz = difficult, I started to enjoy it. First, listen to jazz without all the complications and clear your mind, and then if you want to know more about jazz, just look it up. As I said earlier, I was influenced by jazz at live performances. This applies to anything other than jazz, but it is important to ...

Impressions from practicing at a boxing gym in Japan

When I was a sophomore in high school, I went to a boxing gym. Most high schools in Japan do not have boxing clubs. So at that time, I used the money from my part-time job to pay the monthly fee at the gym. The reason I went to a boxing gym was because I wanted to become a professional boxer. Ever since I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I admired boxing and K-1 athletes and wanted to be like them. I was also influenced by boxing comics and the movie Rocky. At that time, I seriously believed that I could become a world boxing champion. There is no basis. As I practiced shadow boxing at home while imagining myself fighting, I began to think that I was the strongest. However, when I actually tried it, I realized that I had no talent. I also felt scared when sparring and realized that I didn't have the punching power. Also, practicing wasn't as fun as I had originally imagined. I still like watching martial arts, but I think watching it and actually doing it are two different things. Boxing requires a lot of simple training and repeated practice, and is quite hard. As I said earlier, you also have to fight fear. As much as it is scary and physically demanding, I think there is a great sense of accomplishment when you overcome it. On the other hand, watching boxing obviously has nothing to do with patience or mentality. Just watch the players ...

What is tokyo calendar dating app? Date with Japanese beauty

There is a famous magazine in Japan called Tokyo Calendar. This magazine is primarily aimed at high-income men in their 30s to 50s. This is a magazine with the image of a gentle guy going to stylish high-end restaurants with beautiful sophisticated women. Below is the actual magazine. It is available at 7-Elevens and bookstores throughout Japan. As you can see from the magazine cover, they are truly Asian beauties. The women who appear in the Tokyo calendar are often popular actresses or national idols. Based on Japan's appearance standards, top class girls are selected. Tokyo Calendar also operates a dating app called toukare. As you may have noticed, toukare is an abbreviation of Tokyo calendar.(東京カレンダー➡︎東カレ) Toukare inherits the image of Tokyo Calendar, so naturally the quality of its users is high. Men are gentlemen and women are beautiful. It ranks quite high among the many Japanese matching apps. Also, toukare cannot be registered unless approved by the management. Based on the face photo and self-introduction, they judge whether the person is suitable for toukare. Normally, anyone can register on Japanese dating apps as long as they authenticate their phone number and pay a monthly fee. Only with the toukare app, in addition to these, your profile is also checked. By making the registration standards a little stricter in this way, the image of the Tokyo Calendar can be maintained. As I said earlier, the Tokyo Calendar models are too perfect, so I wouldn't say that the Toukare women are on the same level. However, ...

A high-quality Japanese matching app that surpasses Bumble

If you want to date Japanese, I don't recommend Bumble. This is because there are not many Japanese people using Bumble. There are many matching apps in Japan, but Bumble is one of the minor ones. It's a matching app run by a foreigner, so from a Japanese perspective, it's a bit suspicious. Japanese people generally prefer their own country apps, with the exception of Tinder. Because it's safer that way. The fact that it's run by a major company also gives you peace of mind. Of course, I'm not saying that Bumble is completely bad. Some people are satisfied with it. However, I think most of Bumble's users are foreigners, and there aren't that many Japanese people. I've also heard rumors that international romance scams are rampant. I'm Japanese, so I don't know how popular Bumble is overseas, but it's true that it's not very popular in Japan at least. 5 matching apps that are extremely popular in Japan Most of the blog operators who recommend Bumble are foreigners. I've never seen a Japanese person praise it highly. So, as a Japanese person, I would like to introduce you to a matching app that is currently trending. We have carefully selected only the apps that are actually good to use. 1:Pairs Pairs is famous, so even foreigners probably know about it. It is a healthy matching app with almost no scammers. Pairs has a function to search for foreigners and is tolerant of international romance. Many members are registered not only in Tokyo but ...

Traits of a promiscuous woman!Japanese ladies of loose morals

In this article, I will talk about the sense of virtue of Japanese women. First of all, the conclusion is that many Japanese women are promiscuous. Of course not everyone, but Tokyo in particular tends to be jumbled. This is because there are so many adult film actresses and sugar babies in Tokyo right now. In Japan, in the not so distant past, adult film actresses were looked at with contempt. But now some famous porn stars have become charismatic figures for young women. If you go to the cosmetics corner of Don Quixote in Shibuya, you'll see advertisements for porn star Asuka Kirara, and she's also extremely popular on social media. Many women actually become porn stars because they admire certain adult film actresses. As a result, Japanese people's sense of value towards sexuality is changing more and more. Sugar dating apps are also popular in Japan, and there are even dating clubs for wealthy people. Details are summarized in the article below. For the above reasons, it can be said that Japanese people's sense of virtue is low. But this is not new. There are also historical works that show that Japan's ancestors from the Edo period were sexually tolerant, and it can be said that the Japanese people were originally open-minded. After the war, GHQ's brainwashing policy instilled in them the idea that sexual behavior was not good. It may have been a world where it was difficult for people to express their sexual preferences because they were concerned about the public ...
