記得當年住在日本時,最愛逛的就是雑貨店。但剛到日本時,看到店名某某雑貨屋,還以為是國內那種賣廉價雜貨用品的呢。不過日本的雑貨,日語發音是 zakka, 不是那種廉價的。
Wikipedia 上的原文定義是這樣的。
Zakka (from the Japanese 'zak-ka' (雑貨) or 'many things') is a fashion and design phenomenon that has spread from Japan throughout Asia . The term refers to everything and anything that improves your home, life and appearance. It is often based on household items from the West that are regarded as kitsch in their countries of origin, but it can also be Japanese goods, mainly from the fifties, sixties, and seventies. In Japan there are also so-called Asian zakka stores; that usually refers to Southeast Asia . The interest in Nordic design or Scandinavian design , both contemporary and past, is also part of this zakka movement. Zakka can also be contemporary handicraft .
Zakka has also been described as "the art of seeing the savvy in the ordinary and mundane". The zakka boom could be recognized as merely another in a series of consumer fads, but it also touches issues of self-expression and spirituality. "Cute, corny and kitschy is not enough. To qualify as a zakka, a product must be attractive, sensitive, and laden with subtext."
日本的雑貨屋從外觀的裝飾上就能感到時尚,對於 90 年代初來到日本的我,那真是劉姥姥進大觀園,看什麽都好都新奇。可惜那時沒有照下來我喜歡的雑貨屋。從網上找了幾張,不過沒有記憶中我喜歡的好。
1。 雑貨店外觀
2。 日本的雑貨
住在日本頭幾年,隻看不買 。一是因為不知會在日本呆多長時間, 沒有家的感覺,二是那時還在艱苦奮鬥中。但在要離開日本來美國時,決定說什麽也要買幾樣留作紀念。
3。小盤子和筷子holder
4。這兩個是日本手繪畫,買時沒有畫框,來美後專們訂做的。
5。 日本漆盤
6。漆畫
7. 日本木偶
8。紙人,日本和紙做的。
時光在流逝,年齡在增長,這些我喜愛的雑貨讓我的記憶永遠停留在那一刻。。。
