They need to work with the material while it’s hot and only have a few minutes to do their magic before the sculpture hardens. In the end, artists use edible paint to make their designs even more beautiful. The result is a beautiful, unique lollipop that’s a true work of art.

Amezaiku dates back to the Heian period in Japan (around a thousand years ago). The creations became more popular after the 17th century thanks to traveling street vendors.

One of the artists who keep this art form alive today is Shinri Tezuka. He has a shop in the Asakusa district in Tokyo where he sells gorgeous creations of koi fish, goldfish, frogs, and many other animals. He also holds public classes where he encourages everyone to try and make a relatively simple rabbit design themselves.

Traditionally, kintsugi uses liquid gold or liquid silver to bring together pieces of broken objects. Gold and silver enhance the beauty of each of those objects, sending a message that they are only now achieving their full potential. Each piece is unique and fixed in irregular patterns which only emphasizes its beauty.

Kintsugi is also important for humans. As we don’t typically expect other people to be perfect, we often expect that from ourselves. We’re afraid to show vulnerability, our wounds, and mistakes, but Kintsugi teaches us that those things only make us more beautiful—and ultimately, more human. The ability to heal and grow after suffering something that shouldn’t be hidden; it should be celebrated and covered in gold.

Next time you break something, fix it with the Kintsugi method and display it as a reminder of how beautiful imperfections can be.

On February 20, Bourbon, a Japanese snack company, announced that their “Mayonnaise Sheets” will hit the shelves on March 2. This shocking news sparked mixed reactions all over social media.

Some people are still on the fence about this idea. “Japan has sliced mayonnaise. I am both grossed out and intrigued,” wrote a Twitter user. 

Others are just flat-out disgusted, adding hashtags such as #nothankyou and #pass to their posts about the product. 

Despite the controversy, some readers can’t wait to test out the slices. A twitter user asked, “Can I do a Kickstarter just to get me as much of this as I can?” 

A few years ago, the same company introduced similar sheets of chocolate ganache, a more reasonable condiment. Although that product didn’t exactly win the hearts of the Japanese people, they hope the mayonnaise sheets will be more successful as a way to introduce consumers to “simple cooking.” The company will release two types of mayo slices: tuna mayonnaise and mayonnaise with mentaiko – a type of spicy fish egg.

This is the basis of the Tatcha skincare line. You can only imagine how beautiful and carefully curated the products are.

They Have Masks

Hydrating Creams

The creams of Tatcha are pumped with antioxidant-packed Japanese purple rice. It’s also infused with Okinawa algae and hyaluronic acid to replenish the skin and to keep the moisture maintained throughout the day. Brush upwards in gentle strokes and massage onto skin with care.

People who follow the Harajuku style don’t adhere to one type of fashion but instead, collect different pieces that they find resonate with them.

Layers of Colors

With Harajuku street fashion, the norms of fashion don’t apply. Teenagers and adults are free to express whichever identity they feel comfortable with showing. These ladies look like they stepped out of a Sailor Moon episode and are totally slaying it.

Soft Style

Even though Harajuku is beyond the idea of mainstream fashion, it still manages to be gentle despite being expressive. Harajuku fashion is neither overwhelming nor underwhelming but rather a mix of different unique tones.

90’s Kids Rejoice

Pokemon, Detective Conan, Evangelion – feel free to dress in whichever anime you love the most. This Pikachu backpack is super kawaii with the matching t-shirt too.

Here’s a few tips that’ll make your trip to Japan more comfortable.

No tipping, please

Unlike many other countries, tipping is not customary in Japan. If you leave a generous tip in a restaurant or some other place, the staff will probably be very confused or even offended.

Money

It would be good to have multiple payment options available once you come to Japan, like traveler’s cheques or debit cards – just in case something happens. If you run out of cash, finding an ATM that accept foreign cards can be pretty hard.

Shoes

Make sure to wear shoes you can take off easily because you can be asked to remove them before entering some places such as inns, cafes or even restaurants.

Manners

As soon as you come to Japan, you’ll notice how specific their culture is. Being polite and greeting strangers with a smile is a big part of that culture. Try to do the same thing when you talk to locals – use polite phrases to show gratitude and appreciation and you won’t have any problems fitting in.

Hokkaido is famous for its colorful flower fields that last almost all year round. One of the most beautiful and colorful is Shikisai no Oka, or Shikisai Hill. It spreads out on 15 acres and is tucked in between Mount Tokashi and the plains of Takikawa.

There is no better place on Earth for all those who love nature and flowers. Captivating panoramic view of gardens packed with colorful flowers will inspire any art and photography enthusiast. Endless yellow rows of sunflowers blend perfectly with soft purple lines of lavender. But planting arrangement changes every year and visitors never know what kind of visual feast to expect. One thing is sure – no one leaves disappointed.

Take a look at the pictures and plan your trip to Japan.

This magical tunnel of cascading flowers can be found at the Kawachi Fuji Gardens in Kitakyushu. It’s located in close proximity to Japan’s sixth largest city of Fukuoka, but once you get there – you’ll probably never want to leave.

Kawachi Fuji Gardens are home to about 150 wisteria plants, featuring a total of 20 species, in different shades of white, blue, purple and pink. This amazing variety of colorful hanging flowers is the reason why Wisteria Tunnel looks straight out of fairy tale.

Wisteria Tunnel isn’t one of those tourist spots you can visit any time you want. It abides to the rules of nature, and that’s why it looks best during the spring. If you’re going to Japan and want to pay a visit to this whimsical passageway, make sure to do it in late April or early May, when flowers are in full bloom.
