In Love With The Japanese Language

July 14, 2020

Conversation

 

Dear Sweetie,

Today, I felt like talking with you about what made me fall in love with the Japanese language?

My Story

An evening in Tokyo, when it was about the time for me to sleep, my husband had a business meeting. He asked me whether it was ok to have the meeting in our hotel room. I said no problem. At first thought, I asked myself ‘what if it would be too noisy so I couldn’t sleep?’ 

However, it turned out that it wasn’t. 

The room was filled with such a calming and soothing energy. And I had no problem in falling at sleep. 

I love the Japanese language. 

It is so sweet (kawaii, かわいい in the Japanese language), soft and undertones an acceptance and listening of the other persons point of views. The pause are also longer when you speak with Japanese people. They often take a little break, and then reply. And when you are in public Japanese people try to speak with a lower tone. Especially, in the subway it is so quiet because they doesn’t like to disturb the other person that is standing or sitting next to you.

Moreover there are differences levels of the language depending on who you are taking to. Family members in between talk a more casual one. While in business environment you talk the most formal level. 

At night in the hotel room, my husband talked the most formal one and it felt so good. 

Japanese Language School in Tokyo

By the way if you are living in Tokyo, and would love to learn the Japanese language, I can highly recommend Sun Academy NIHONGO Center. I have wrote a previously blog post about the Japanese language school, and you can read it here I Love Summer.

Wishing you a lovely day.

XO,

Jeanette

New Japanese words from me to you. In Japanese language, family can be translated as 

💗家族 (kazoku)

家 • means house
事 • means tribe, family 

Depending on whether you are talking about your own family or talking to someone else’s family, the word changes a little 🤍

For example becomes かぞく(kazoku) ごかぞく(gokazoku) when you are taking about someone else’s family.

💕 Sashiko Thread 💗

The sashiko thread is different from many embroidery threads.

🍒 It is made by twisting several thin cotton threads together, and has a looser twist, and
🍒 made from long and stable cotton meaning that it is very hard wearing and strong. 

The thickness of the Sashiko thread varies. 

Thick threads give a soft and rustic feel while thin threads give a delicate and beautiful finish. 

Vegetable-dyed treads are popular for their gentle colours. Find your favourite yarn by comparing them. 

In the picture you will find some of my favourite Sashiko threads.

To the most left: @sashikostory color #013 - thick and lovely thread
In the middle: @hobbyra_hobbyre color #116 - medium thick, the one I use the most.
To the right side: @ajisaidrop thin and delicate.

With sashiko love,
Jeanette

Dear beautiful 🫶🏻

You might be curious about what Sashiko is.

Sashiko is a Japanese hand sewing technique that was developed in Japan a few centuries ago or as beautifully expressed by Keiko & Atsushi Futatsuya:

"Sashiko is a process of repairing the fabric to repair, strengthen and warm the clothes that the family member will wear"

Sashiko was originally a job for women to repair men's clothing over the winter. Both women and men worked as farmers in the summer. But in winter, men worked in the forest and women repaired the fabric. This practice still exists in some parts of Japan.

💫 My story with Sashiko
I discovered Sashiko one day when I walked into a small hobby shop in our neighborhood in Tokyo. Many Japanese women bought small pieces of white fabrics with printed patterns and also colorful threads. I wondered what they were going to do?

They all had to make small hand-sewn handkerchiefs. I found it fascinating and wanted to try it myself.

After several years of creating small pieces of hand-stitched fabrics using the Japanese needlework technique, I want to share my passion with the world. Because

It is pure bliss. Relaxing. And funny.

Do you also want to try? You can see more about Sashiko in my link in my profile.

Thank you for stopping by 🤎
