If I was turning Japanese...



Sorry if the song is now stuck in your head. *grin*

For the A&S50 challenge, I have to admit I'd have a much easier time coming up with stuff to fill the challenge list persona-wise. I'll make a list here just because.

1. make outfit for a low caste person, for bad or hot weather.
2. embroidery
3. shibori
4. calligraphy
5. kumihimo
6. make a better heian era garment (this counts for alot, but i'm just lumping it together for simplicity's sake.)(The super simple version that you see in the photo above is minus the two blue-green layers. It was just too dang hot.)
7. make a better kamakura era garment (counts for a couple too, unless I cheat like I did last time *grin*)(Kamakura in this instance=my Heian minus all layers but the bottom kimono which was tucked into my hakama.)
8. go ahead and make that yayoi (i think this is the correct period) era garment i want.
9. learn how to walk and move correctly
10. recipes
11. learn to recite poetry of the time
12. paper making
13. weaving
14. read more accounts from the time
15. read noh plays
16. read kabuki plays (eh, it's pushing the "time limit" but so what)
17. dances? these would be hard to find.
18. learn more about the religions
19. archery
20. study the weapons
21. study more on the siege equipment
22. learn more about the armor
23. oh yeah, learn more japanese... :D
