The six common taboos, during Qingming Festival. 1. Ancestral worship is traditionally observed from 9 am to 12 pm, avoiding the period from 1 pm to 3 pm known as "未时" (wèi shí) as a mark of respect to ancestors 2. It's taboo to wear bright colors, heavy makeup, or flashy jewelry during tomb-sweeping, maintaining a solemn atmosphere to honor the departed. 3. Delay returning home after tomb-sweeping, as graveyards are believed to be linked with the underworld. Visit a shopping mall to dispel any negative energy before returning home. 4. Ensure your hairstyle doesn't cover your forehead, and avoid buying new shoes three days before and after Qingming Festival to prevent any mishaps. 5. Avoid wearing items like jade jewelry, red strings, or copper coins during tomb-sweeping, reflecting respect for ancestors and Chinese cultural heritage. 6. On the day of ancestral worship, young children, teenagers born after 2000, and the elderly should wear white attire. #trendyfengshui #serenewongms #王铭汐老师 #Mingxilaoshi

Kimono and its patterns: omeshi The official name is omeshi chirimen" and it is the most prestigious and highest quality kimono fabric among woven kimono. The 11th Tokugawa Shogun, Ienari, liked to wear it, which is why it was called the Shogun's "dress" and hence the name omeshi. Fine yarns of high quality are used, which are degumming and dyed in advance. While crepe uses twisted yarns only in the weft, the omeshi uses strong twisted yarns in both warp and weft and the surface of the fabric is characterized by larger and clearer wrinkles than that of crepe.

Like Kintsugi, we mend our scars with gold lacquer... I've been inspired today by Kintsugi; the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with Urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. It relates to the Japanese philosophy Wabi-Sabi. Taken from the Japanese words wabi, which translates to 'less is more,' and sabi, which means attentive melancholy, it is a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. In todays' World where we constantly seek ultimate perfection, we have entered into a cycle of instant gratification and over consumption. If something is torn or broken, we buy impulsively, we do not mend or repair. (Hence we see the staggering 92 million tonnes of garments ending up in landfill every year.) Similarly, when it comes to social media, we tend to project this same perfect image of ourselves that isn't necessarily the truth, or at least, isn't the whole truth. We have to unlearn this idea of “false perfection” and learn to embrace our scars, because they're beautiful. Like Kintsugi, we mend these scars with gold lacquer, so don't hide them because they are what makes us unique and powerful. #Kinsugi #Perfection #FalsePerfection

Your scars, both physical and emotional, are not signs of weakness but badges of honor. They tell the story of your survival, your resilience, and your ability to heal. Instead of hiding them, learn to appreciate these marks as reminders of your strength. Each scar represents a challenge you've overcome, a lesson you've learned. They make you unique and add depth to your character. Embrace them as part of your journey. Kintsugi is a Japanese art form that involves repairing broken pottery and porcelain using urushi (Japanese lacquer) and powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Kintsugi is based on the idea of wabi sabi, which is an aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection. Let your scars remind you of your capacity to endure, to recover, and to grow. Your scars don't define you – they refine you.

Kintsukuroi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, teaches us a powerful lesson: our cracks don’t diminish our value, they add to our beauty. 💛 Just like pottery, when we feel broken by life’s challenges, we have the power to put ourselves back together—stronger and more beautiful than before. Our scars, like the golden seams in Kintsukuroi, are a testament to our resilience and growth. It’s not about hiding the pain, but embracing it as part of who we are. 🌿 Let your cracks shine with grace and strength. #Kintsukuroi #Resilience #BeautifullyBroken #HealingJourney #EmbraceYourScars #StrengthInVulnerability #GrowthThroughPain #MentalHealthAwareness #FindingStrength #SelfLove #GoldenCracks

紅葉色 - Crimson red Momiji-iro Momiji is the word we use to call autumn leaves in general, but this bright red in particular is like the ephemeral, firery last breath of life right before they wither and it hits home with the traditional Japanese sense of beauty. 韓紅花 - Scarlet red Kara-kurenai This even brighter tint of red has a name inspired by a Chinese dynasty. Japan admired and copycatted Chinese culture like heck until the 10th century and Japanese nobles would pay a fortune to get dyes of this color. So Japan was like, “Stop! No more!” and banned the color several times in its history. 承和色 - Maize Yellow Soga-iro Soga refers to the Chrysanthemums this one emperor in the 9th century loved so much. Back then, it was believed that sake with chrysanthemum petals would bring you longer life. So it’s a happy color, just as it looks. 紅葉狩り or Momiji Hunting is an annual event for many, and it easily beats most weekend activities. And it’s free! Happy Momji hunting ☺️! —————— ▶︎ Hi, I’m Kyota, the author of Amazon Best Sellers [Folk Tales of Japan], [Underdogs of Japanese History], and [Horror Tales of Japan].

In Japanese culture, there is a beautiful art form known as "Kintsugi". It involves repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. This practice not only mends the pottery but also increases its value, highlighting the beauty in its imperfections. We can also adapt the Kintsugi philosophy to our personal lives. When we go through tough times, instead of feeling frustrated and broken, we should focus on self-improvement. By embracing our imperfections, building resilience, and prioritizing personal growth, we can enhance our self-worth and find strength in our experiences. Just like the gold-filled cracks in a Kintsugi masterpiece, our challenges can make us more valuable, revealing the beauty in our journey and transformation. Let me know how you handle when you go through tough times. #lifeskills #lifecoaching #personalitydevelopent.

Love is two people who are "Becoming". Both are a work in progress. Not empty or broken, Becoming. Like a baby Sea turtle breaking out of their shell, one little chip breaking away at a time, until it can immerge! Or like Kintsugi, a Japanese art of repairing imperfections in a piece of pottery, rather than hiding them. Allowing the pottery to become a more beautiful and stronger piece of art. Love is simply two people becoming Stronger and more Beautiful Together...... Perfectly Imperfect, Sam & Ron #APerfectlyImperfectMarriage #StrongerTogether_APIM #letGodlead https://lnkd.in/eabxE94F

Bura Na Mano Holi hai! Apart from being the festival of colors, holi is a grand celebration of happiness and spirit. It's an opportunity to celebrate the triumph of good over evil, to mend your past mistakes, forgive and love again! Celebrate it with utmost zeal and fun but be respectful and don't hurt others for your joy: ▶️ Be careful and avoid eyes, nose and mouth area for applying colors. ▶️ Apply colors on your friends or family but respect them if they don't want to play. ▶️ Remember holi is to foster your relationships and not to take revenge from past enmity! ▶️ Only use safe colors and avoid heavy chemicals. ▶️ Do not throw water balloons on passing by vehicles (we don't want to hurt someone, right?) ▶️ Be gentle and respect the dignity of others, don't smear colors or throw water forcefully! ▶️ Apply cream or oil on your face, hair or exposed body parts as it will be easier to remove colors later. Celebration should be filled with fun and happiness and not bad memories of hurt and injury! Bura na mano holi hai but that doesn't mean we forget to be respectful and safe! PS: What more would you like to add to make it a safer holi? Share your views so everyone has a safe holi! #holicelebration #safeholi #buranamanoholihai
