Pour la première fois le Japon s'ouvre au monde occidental.
8 juillet 1853
Dans la baie d'Edo (Tokyo) les Japonais stupéfaits voient s'avancer quatre "bateaux noirs qui crachent de la fumée". L'expédition américaine placée sous le commandement du commodore Matthew Perry débarque. Au nom du président des Etats-Unis, Perry demande aux shoguns de la famille Tokugawa l'ouverture des ports japonais aux navires américains et la signature d'un traité d'amitié entre les deux pays. Après négociations, les Japonais ouvriront les ports de Shimoda et Hakodate et offriront ainsi un statut privilégié aux Etats-Unis.

Drawing Mangas !
http://www.astroboy-themovie.com/
Often referred to as the God of Manga, Osamu Tezuka's illustrious career created a huge amount of Manga and Anime .It is often said (and reasonably so) that had it not been for Osamu Tezuka Japanese Manga and Anime would not be what they are today.Astroboy is the first Anime released in 1952 by Osamu Tezuka and still on our screens today !
We took the opportunity of the launch of the new ASTROBOY movie to learn how to draw manga !
Shannon helped us a lot as she is passionate about anime ! Arigatou Shannon Chan !

Nous imaginons des poupées Kokeshi
Au Japon, au début de leur création ces poupées, étaient des jouets pour les enfants des paysans, ou des souvenirs pour les touristes, représentant des petites filles. Ces poupées japonaises traditionnelles, étaient constituées d’une tête et d’un corps cylindrique, symbolisant le vœu et le désir d’avoir un enfant en bonne santé. On compte plus d'une centaine de types de poupées kokeshi. Ces jolies poupées japonaises en bois, sont offertes dans la tradition japonaise, pour déclarer son amitié ou son amour à la personne qui le reçoit.

Tango no Sekku , Festival of young boys 5月5日
La fete des garcons a lieu le cinquieme jour du cinquieme mois de l’année.
Le 5 mai,les familles souhaitent aux jeunes garcons de grandir en bonne santé et de devenir des hommes forts.
Une légende chinoise raconte qu’autrefois une carpe a remonté le courant d’une riviere pour se transformer en un puissant dragon.C’est pour souhaiter de la force et du succes aux petits garcons que l’on accroche des carpes volantes dans les jardins ou aux fenetres.Il y a une carpe pour chacun des garcons de la famille.
Les enfants décorent la maison avec des casques de samourai (kabuto ) et dégustent le KASHIWAMOCHI,gateau de pate de riz fourré de crème de haricots rouges,le tout enveloppé dans une feuille de chene.
