🔥DARUMA DOOM👀
Daruma await their fate at the small temple of Hōrin-ji (法輪寺).

Having fulfilled their destinies, and hopefully bestowed wishes upon their owners, they're gathered at Setsubun (節分) and burnt on a ritual bonfire🫡👋🔥✨😔

Daruma (達磨) is the Japanese name for Bodhidharma, a 5th or 6thC monk credited with establishing zen.

Daruma dolls, typically red & made from papier-mâché, are modeled on the story of Bodhidharma wall-gazing in a cave (close to the Shaolin Monastery) for 9 years.

🏹THE 'ROBIN HOOD' OF JAPAN🥷

On 8th October 1594 the 'bandit' Ishikawa Goemon (石川五右衛門) and his young son were thrown into a boiling vat of oil beside the Kamo River.
As a warning to others the giant cauldron remained in place until a flood swept it away.
#Kyoto #folklore
The story goes that Goemon, in revenge for the murder of his wife Otaki and son Gobei, crept into Fushimi Castle (伏見城) to assassinate the despot ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣秀吉). As he drew close to the sleeping Toyotomi he knocked over a small bell and was caught.
#Japan
Like England's 'Robin Hood', so many legends surround Goemon and his band of outlaws that it's difficult to unpick fact from fiction.
It seems that a man was executed by being boiled alive in oil by the banks of the Kamo-gawa, but beyond that we know very little.

So... I keep seeing artists drawing Kimono or Yukata and getting it wrong, so I thought it was about time I did a tutorial on it...

Here’s a thread on some basics on Kimono and Yukata.

I’ll keep adding to this thread as I finish them.

I hope this helps!:
#kimono Part 1: The basic shape of a kimono

Kimono is all about straight lines and squares. There are no curves, and the only triangle bit is the collar area.

The basic shapes are the same for men and women, but the holes in
sleeves are different.
#kimono Part 2: Kimono accessories

There are several accessories used when wearing a kimono.

Men is just obi (a sash to keep the kimono in place)
But women use a lot more to keep the shape of the kimono and the obi in tact.

Kimono is a formal wear, so you never go bare feet.

Pues me voy a animar como dije el otro día a hacer un proyecto 365, pero en vez de haciendo fotos, editando fotos mías antiguas, random, basadas en el mood de cada día.
La única limitación que me voy a poner, va a ser el formato 1:1... A ver lo que sale xD

I´ll say it also in English :)
I´m gonna try a photography 365 project, but instead of taking photos, processing old random photos of mine...
Only one rule: the square format.
Let´s see what I got, which will be directly affected by the mood of the day...
