Mobile Phone Accessaries

Here are my mobile phone strap accessories!

1) Sushi strap (orange bubble with black tie one on the top)
It is called "Ikura" sushi. Ikura is a salmon roe.

2) MicroSD card strap ( light blue one in the middle, and the first picture with PC)
My mobile phone has a microSD data card and it has much better quality than my camera.
I take a picture and save it into PC via microSD with USB plug.
The microSD costs only 980 yen (about US$1,000).

3) Japanese kimono texture balls strap ( colorful balls with red strap at the bottom)
Those balls wrapped with cloth which has Japanese kimono like texture and colors.
I feel like I am educated as a quiet but sophisticated traditional Japanese lady by having it!

New Hot Spat in Tokyo -H&M-

The Swedish fashion brand giant, H& M (Hennes & Mauritz AB) has come to Tokyo this year.
On Nov.8, the second shop in Tokyo has opened in Harajuku.

The first one in Tokyo is located in Ginza which is popular for higher socio-economic area like 5th street in New York city. The clothes are more business like compare to Harajuku one.
The acculturation of the town worked very well so far and pricing is not as high as other foreign brand shops in Tokyo.

In Tokyo, we have their competitors, such as GAP, UNIQLO and ZARA (and more).

Here is my perception.
H&M appeals wide range of generation like GAP.
H&M is inexpensive like UNIQLO.
H&M is fashionable like ZARA.

I like them a lot, but I personally want to recommend you UNIQLO.
Do you know why?
It's because good quality, inexpensive and Japanese brand!

If you come to our office in Shinjuku, you can try those shops in just 10 minutes walk distances!

"Torino-ichi" - one of the traditional Japanese festivals

10 minutes walk from our office, there is a shrine called "Hanazono jinja."

On the "Rooster Day" of Chinese zodiac in November, people make a wish for better business, health, and family safety or for getting rid of evil spirit at "Torino-ichi" by buying ornaments decorated with gods, cats, and rice in this harvest season.

At the "matsuri" festival, people eat "yakisoba" cooked noodle with special source, "yakitori" grilled chicken, and "sake."

In Japan, we have "yaoyorozu-no kami" millions of god. We thank many gods in each occasion such as land of god, water of god, and any. We appreciate what we have given by having "matsuri" festival, so we have hundreds of "matsuri" in a year.

If you find "matsuri" sometime, somewhere in Japan, please enjoy it!
