border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"&gt;One of these is called "&lt;em&gt;mamemaki&lt;/em&gt;", that can be translated with "beans throwing", and consists of throwing toasted soybeans out the door or to a family member who is wearing a mask of a devil (&lt;em&gt;Oni&lt;/em&gt;) while saying "&lt;em&gt;Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!"&amp;nbsp; &lt;/em&gt;(Demons out!

The ritual suggests to eat as much soy as your age and/or eat a little more for good luck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Traditions vary from region to region and, while in Fukushima is used to put decorations of sardine heads and holly leaves outside the house to ward the demons off, in Kansai is consumed a particular dish: the "&lt;em&gt;Eho-Maki&lt;/em&gt;", the lucky direction roll.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The Eho-Maki is a makisushi sold in stores during the Setsubun and is a typical maki rolled in nori algae with the help of a bamboo mat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It's a tasty roll made up of sushi rice with seven ingredients inside, but unlike the makisushi, it cannot be cutted in smaller portions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Each roll should be eaten whole, cutting it could bring bad luck!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The Eho-Maki must be eaten in silence, while expressing a wish and toward a lucky direction that varies from year to year depending on the&amp;nbsp;current&amp;nbsp;zodiac sign.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Happy Setsubun, japanese friends!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"&gt;I hope the spring and its colour will come soon... everywhere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Vale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkimono-design.blogspot.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fbuon-setsubun-happy-setsubun.html&amp;media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fsakura_chihaya%2F2238100625%2F" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal"&gt;Pin It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2699325553146996032-5268513120137695034?l=kimono-design.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kimono-design.blogspot.com/feeds/5268513120137695034/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kimono-design.blogspot.com/2012/02/buon-setsubun-happy-setsubun.html#comment-form' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2699325553146996032/posts/default/5268513120137695034'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2699325553146996032/posts/default/5268513120137695034'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kimono-design.blogspot.com/2012/02/buon-setsubun-happy-setsubun.html' title='Buon Setsubun!

Kanzashi, these strangers!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Viaggiando con la mente in Giappone, molto probabilmente penserete subito alle bellissime geishe e alle maiko, dal trucco impeccabile e dalle acconciature accompagnate da caratteristici ornamenti. Fluttuanti, ricchi e colorati, cosa sono esattamente questi accessori?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;class="msonormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Si chiamano Kanzashi e solo una parte, gli Hana Tsumami Kanzashi, sono floreali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I kanzashi hanno una storia davvero lunga e interessante, scopriamola insieme …&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;class="msonormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Tremila anni fa, nell’epoca Jomon, erano diffusi dei bastoncini per decorare i capelli e si riteneva che avessero dei potere sovrannaturali, in grado di allontanare gli spiriti maligni. Durante l’epoca Edo (1603-1868) l’acconciatura tradizionale &lt;i&gt;taregami&lt;/i&gt;, con capelli lisci e sciolti, venne abbandonata in favore delle pettinature&lt;span class="tnihongocomma"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none; mso-hide: all;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nihongami&lt;/i&gt;, che prevedevano capelli raccolti con il largo uso di ornamenti. I Kanzashi divennero, in questo modo, molto popolari e durante la metà di quest’epoca fecero il loro ingresso i primi Kanzashi floreali. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I Kanzashi possono essere realizzati in molti materiali come legno laccato, metalli preziosi, seta, guscio di tartaruga e, infine, plastica. Molti sono gli stili di Kanzashi, i principali sono: bira bira, kushi, kogai, kanoko dome, ogi, hana tsumami kanzashi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;If you travel with your mind to Japan, you will probably think about geisha and maiko, with their flawless make-up and their hair-styles accompanied with characteristic ornaments. Floating, rich and colourful, what are these accessories exactly?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;They are called &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="called "&gt;Kanzashi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and just a small portion, the Hana &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="Hana "&gt;Tsumami&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="Tsumami "&gt;Kanzashi&lt;/span&gt;, is floral.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""&gt;Kanzashi&lt;/span&gt; have a very long and interesting history, let’s discover it…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Three thousand years ago, during the &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="the "&gt;Jomon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;period, hair sticks were very widespread and people thought they had supernatural powers in position to keep away bad spirits. During the Edo period (1603-1868) the traditional hair-style called &lt;em&gt;taregami&lt;/em&gt;, with sleek and loose hair, were abandoned on behalf of the &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="the "&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nihongami&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;styles, hair up which included the extensive use of ornaments. In this way &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="way "&gt;Kanzashi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;became very popular and during the half of that period the first floral &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="floral "&gt;Kanzashi&lt;/span&gt; appeared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""&gt;Kanzashi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;can be created with a lot of materials, such as&amp;nbsp; lacquered wood, precious metals, silk, tortoise-shell&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and finally plastic. There are several &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="several "&gt;Kanzashi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;styles, the main ones are: &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""&gt;bira&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="bira "&gt;bira&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""&gt;kushi&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""&gt;kogai&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""&gt;kanoko&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;dome, &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""&gt;ogi&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""&gt;hana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="hana "&gt;tsumami&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="tsumami "&gt;kanzashi&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rPLmwWlFReg/Tt-yQTaIuiI/AAAAAAAAAL0/vMPeuzXl3JY/s1600/4386784837_a58bf5848d_z_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" mda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rPLmwWlFReg/Tt-yQTaIuiI/AAAAAAAAAL0/vMPeuzXl3JY/s320/4386784837_a58bf5848d_z_large.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Kanzashi tradizionali - Traditional Kanzashi&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Hana” significa fiore, mentre “tsumami”&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;è il termine con il quale si indica la tecnica adoperata nella creazione dei petali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Gli artigiani giapponesi, infatti, partendo da semplici quadrati di seta, preparano i singoli petali piegando la stoffa con delle pinze.

I kanzashi vengono usati dalle geishe e in particolare dalle loro giovani apprendiste, le maiko, da chi partecipa alle cerimonie del tè o pratica l’ikebana. Occasioni particolari durante le quali vengono sfoggiati i Kanzashi sono anche i matrimoni, i festeggiamenti per il nuovo anno e il &lt;em&gt;Shichi-go-san&lt;/em&gt;, un rito di passaggio per i bambini che compiono l’età di 3, 5 e 7 anni. E’ molto interessante notare come &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;i kanzashi vengono usati a seconda delle stagioni: i fiori di prugno a Febbraio, i fiori di ciliegio in Aprile, gli iris e le wisteria a Maggio o le foglie di acero a Novembre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;There are few skilled artisans in traditional techniques, and today few people wear Kanzashi. Kanzashi are worn by geisha and in particular by their young apprentices, maiko, by those who take part in tea cerimonies and by who practices ikebana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Kanzashi are used in special occasion like weddings,celebrations for the new year and the &lt;em&gt;Sichi-go-san&lt;/em&gt;, a rite of passage for children who turn the age of 3, 5 and 7 years. It is very interesting that Kanzashi are used depending on the seasons: plum blossoms in February, cherry blossoms in April, wisteria and irises in May and maple leaves in November.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;﻿﻿﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DP5GhG4d0gw/Tt-08VQvG5I/AAAAAAAAAME/2jPpNUk0uNk/s1600/DSCF2080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" mda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DP5GhG4d0gw/Tt-08VQvG5I/AAAAAAAAAME/2jPpNUk0uNk/s400/DSCF2080.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/87909995/christmas-red-and-white-kanzashi-brooch"&gt;Kimono Design&lt;/a&gt; - Christmas Red and White Kanzashi&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿﻿﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="margin: auto 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;V.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkimono-design.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F12%2Fkanzashi-questi-sconosciuti-kanzashi.html&amp;media=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-rPLmwWlFReg%2FTt-yQTaIuiI%2FAAAAAAAAAL0%2FvMPeuzXl3JY%2Fs1600%2F4386784837_a58bf5848d_z_large.jpg" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal"&gt;Pin It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2699325553146996032-3993668629776066701?l=kimono-design.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kimono-design.blogspot.com/feeds/3993668629776066701/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kimono-design.blogspot.com/2011/12/kanzashi-questi-sconosciuti-kanzashi.html#comment-form' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2699325553146996032/posts/default/3993668629776066701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2699325553146996032/posts/default/3993668629776066701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kimono-design.blogspot.com/2011/12/kanzashi-questi-sconosciuti-kanzashi.html' title='Kanzashi, questi sconosciuti!
