Any living in Japan?

I don't live there, but im going for a vacation in June! Super excited to visit the country of my dreams since i was a young child, I plan on going to the Mirai Store Tokyo to see the Smart Dolls in person, was somewhat planning on getting one, so it's time to start saving up.

 

Yep! I heard about it, it was what made me really want to visit when i go!

 

I am going to Japan for my 10 year anniversary and plan to build my own smart doll

 

I`m up in Fukushima at the moment. ^^

 

I'm in Tokyo! I'm leaving my job soon and starting school in Tokyo this year, hopefully!!! fingers crossed!!

 

Communications studies : )))). I also want to study Japanese. I know a pretty good survival/conversational amount but I need some formal training lol.

 

Yes, Fukushima is awesome. ^^ I`ve only been here 8 months so far though.

 

We are actually going to be visiting his cousins near sappore and my friends near osaka, but not really sure where else .

 

Kinda. But I don`t have anything definite past July 2018 yet

 

I live here! But in Tokyo ;;

 

Hello! there are a couple of us in Tokyo! How do you like it? Any favorite doll shops?

 

ハイサイ！
I've been living in Okinawa for the past two and a half years and will be moving to Nagoya this August.
I'm currently working on a project where I study regional fabrics/patterns and make doll-sized kimono for every prefecture in Japan. I also really love visiting doll museums across the country, so if you've got any questions/want recommendations I'd be happy to send you a list

 

That project of doll-sized kimono sounds beautiful *______*

 

Thank you! I'm just scrambling to get this doll together so I can get the beach photoshoot done before I move out of Okinawa. Her bingata kimono, hanagasa (flower shaped headpiece) and yotsudake (bamboo clappers) are ready...I'm just waiting on her damn eyes!!

(picture for reference because Okinawa never gets represented in the hobby)



Some other looks will be:

Indigo dyed kimono for Okayama (famous for jeans and dyeing)
Woven straw snow boots and overcoat from the mountains of Gifu
Going to a workshop and dyeing my own kaga-yuzen fabric in Ishikawa
Learning about and making traditional Ainu clothing from Hokkaido
Ehime is really famous for towel manufacturing and Doggo onsen, so you can guess where I'm going with this one...

 

Envy you guys. I went to Japan once in Hokkaido and Tokyo. Loved their beautiful and interesting culture they had. Unlike my country.

 

Ooh I'm also living in Japan currently! I'm closer to Nagoya though.
I've never been to Okinawa but we had a few times it came up in my Japanese language school.

 

theres a big want to visit because of all the cool things and technology they have but I don't live there I probably will want to after I visit though lol.

 

Hi everyone! I'm supposed to be moving to Japan for work in October and will be living in Oita Prefecture in Kyushu. l would love to be able to make some friends in the hobby and potentially join some meet ups once covid has calmed down
