雛祭り!

こんにちは、Jenniferです 🙂

3月3日は雛祭りですね!でも島根県は4月3日に祝うみたいです。それで今年ヘアーイノベーションも今から4月3日まで蜷人形があります。毎年デパートで凄い雛祭りのディスプレーを見てます!!いろいろな種類の人形があります、たとえば三人官女と随身です。本当にゴージャスな感じです。私はカワイイとシンプルの内裏雛があります♡

ひな祭り
内裏雛・Dairibina (Imperial Dolls)

On March 3rd, Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) is widely celebrated throughout Japan.  However, according to the traditional lunar calendar, it may also be celebrated one month later on April 3rd.  After Valentine’s Day, department stores exhibit the traditional dolls on tiered platforms lined with red carpet.  The dolls and their accessories are typically of the Heian period, and some displays can be quite gorgeous!!  This year, Hair Innovation also has two mini dolls. 🙂  The Dairibina (Imperial Dolls) are on the top tier and represent the Emperor and Empress.  My dolls are simple, but very cute and will be on display until April 3rd.♡

BOOK of the MONTH

2月のおすすめの本は軍艦島 超景です。

February’s recommendation is a photography book on Hashima (also known as Gunkanjima–Battleship Island), a derelict island in Nagasaki Prefecture.

端島

軍艦島(端島)は長崎県にある島。 明治26年から昭和49年この島は炭鉱で栄えた島です。小さな島ですが一時期は5,000人以上が住んでいたそうです。この本の中には写真がいっぱいあります。端島は40年間誰も住んでないため自然もあります。映画007スカイフォールのインスピレーションの場所でもあります。最近ツアーもあります。私も軍艦島へ行きたいです!

端島2

Developed in the late 1880s to house a coal mining facility, it grew to host a population of over 5,000 in the 1960s before being abandoned in 1974.  Although it has since been deteriorating, the ruins are testament to the Industrial Age in Japan.

The photography book shows the island as it is today, a haunting juxtaposition of industrial buildings being reclaimed by nature.  You may recognize Hashima from the 2012 James Bond movie Skyfall, as it served as the model for the villain’s base.

While the island is unsafe to completely explore, there are tours to some parts of the island.  I would very much like to visit this island of history someday.

Happy HALLOWEEN!!

Jenniferです🎃

明日はハロウィンですね!! ハロウィンは私の二番目に大好きな日です。私の一番目は「メーデー」ですね  😉 

October 31st is Halloween!!  It’s my 2nd favorite day of the year after May Day 🌷. 

私は三歳からハロウィンをお祝いしています。毎年、お母さんの手作りコスチュームを来てから弟くんと一緒に町トリック・オア・トリートへ行っていました!! すごい楽しかった思い出がいっぱいあります。

I’ve been celebrating Halloween since I was 3 years old.  Every year, my mom made costumes for my brother and I, and we went trick-or-treating together in our neighborhood.  I have so many great memories!!

今年もちろんコスプレしました!!毎年、松江のポートベローでハロウィンパーティーがあります♪

Each year there is a Halloween Party at Port Below on the last Saturday of the month, so of course I dressed up to celebrate!

Many people came in costumes, so I was very happy!!  Mr. K and I went as Roger and Jessica Rabbit from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

来年のハロウイン待ってま〜す♡

BOOK of the MONTH

10月のおすすめの本はオレゴン州のご紹介です。私は松江に住むまではオレゴンに住んでいました。今月末にも私の両親はオレゴンから松江に遊びに来てくれます!!

October’s book features lovely photographs from all over my home state, Oregon.  Since my parents will be visiting Matsue from Oregon later this month, I thought it is the perfect time to feature this book.

オレゴン州は島根県と似ています:自然がとてもキレイです🌳

Like Shimane-Ken, Oregon is known for its beautiful natural scenery and wildlife.  

この本に私の育った町、アシュランドもあります!アシュランドはカワイイ小さな町だけどリシア公園の中に世界的にも有名な「シェイクスピア・フェスティバル」があります!!

Even my small hometown, Ashland, is featured in the book💜. Although Ashland is a small town, it is very famous for its Shakespeare Festival and Lithia Park.

Don’t the swans in the picture remind you of Matsue?

写真のようにアシュランドにも白鳥がいます!!
松江を思い出すかな?

9月のおすすめ本は美術の杜Vol21です。

この本に山崎さんのおじいさんの作品があります!!

September’s book is Vol. 21 of the art journal, Bijutsu no Mori.  The journal features many genres of art including paintings, calligraphy, pottery and photography. This particular volume was given to me by Mr. K’s grandmother because it includes a painting by his grandfather!!  The painting is lovely and especially fitting for this month because of the beautiful Autumnal colors ♡
