Self, Death, Life

Araki - Self, Death, Life
Araki Nobuyoshi, the photographer came out with some flowers that capture death and life, much like the 'white' concept coined by k,Hara. The silence came after chaos is tensional. Life itself can desire as the begging of death and araki's work capture those two elements instantaneously with his camera.

Tradition Suprise

Mimosa pudica (Sensitive Plant) 
Tradition Suprising, my tradition was different from that of here. In terms of opening Christmas presents on Boxing day the 26th December. But i receive the presents in front of the receiver this years and to my surprise they opened their presents in front of me. Needless to say some of the 'anticipation' was loss and shame is reveal as if my thoughts was punctured by holes.
I think Design is that same thing, when Naoto Fukawasa said 'designers do not like their 'output' (product or whatever fields of design) to read right away.' Human behaviour(Japanese Sensibilities) is like Mimosa pudica (Sensitive Plant) when touched directly, shrivel up in embarrassment. He doesn't like his design to be read right away.
