Journal8: what are the advantages and disadvantages of being famous?

I think that to advantages of being famous is what the person can get a lot of money. And what human network spread. Famous person have to get engaged many people. And what the person is welcome by other people. Because famous people are invited, they can be involved in many events. To disadvantage of being famous is having no privacy. Famous people have to care paparazzi and have to care about other’s eyes. So famous people tend to get stressed out. Instead famous people get a lot of many, they have no privacy and they can not spend time.

My speaking presentasion

Good afternoon everyone. I’m Misaki. I’m Akari. Have you ever worn a kimono?? Today, we introduce you to kimono because it’s cute and beautiful and I like it.

To begin with, we speak about history of kimono. Kimono is said that a ‘’kosode’’ was worn during the Heian era is beginning. Kosode is simple one common people have worn in a general way and it was small sleeves and solid color. In the Edo era, Japan became a peaceful country than before. Then, the wealthy merchant use remaining power of peace and they had come to try making tricky kosode. That kosode was light color, spun gold used and gaiety. And hurisode was born as sleeves are gradually long. In this way, kosode gradually became gaiety with passing of time and it was called kimono. In the Meiji era, culture of other country came over to Japan as open the country. Then, Western clothing spread among the commoners. Kimono gradually didn’t grow popular. And it lead to today.        

Today, kimono is not used daily. It’s used on special day like ceremonial occasions for the coming of age, marriage, funeral and ancestral worship. Wearing is most woman, man don’t wear it much. The kind of kimono is tomesode, hurisode, ceremonial kimono, mohuku. Hurisode’s costs is about eight thousand yen at the cheap one, the expensive is about sixty thousand yen. They can cost more than such it too. Hurisode has many kinds. There are cute, classic, modern, sousibori. In the main, Hurisode is worn by unmarried women. Hurisode is made up obi, hurisodeomotiji, nagajuban, obisime, obiage, kasaneeri, haneri, <hadagi, susoyoke, obiita, obimakura, kosihimo etc> There are many colors and design various each. People enjoying make oneself ones in combination each. But the kimono has only a loose correlation to the shape of the body, making it difficult to wear closely. So there aren't very many women who can put them on by themselves.

                  Kimono is easily to fit in Japanese culture and life. And kimono look good on Japanese body type and features. I want people to meet oneself favorite kimono. I think that the kimono, a beautiful traditional garment, is a source of pride for Japanese and I could say that the kimono has become synonymous with Japanese culture.

The history of the origami
After how to make paper was conveyed from the continent in the early seventh century by Japan, thin, strong paper, "a Japanese paper" (I) were born by a Japanese laborer. A record was important how to use paper at the beginning, but it came to be used for an act of God and came to wrap various things including the offering to God in paper.
