Description

Shosa – Meditations in Japanese Handwork + TotebagAls je Japan bezoekt, is een van de eerste dingen die opvallen de kalme en respectvolle manier waarop Japanners zich gedragen. Een wever herhaalt meditatief duizend keer per dag precies dezelfde beweging, terwijl de theemeester elk sereen gebaar wijdt aan de harmonie van de ruimte. Hoewel we het in het Westen misschien moeilijk vinden om deze bedachtzame manier van bewegen uit te leggen, hebben de Japanners er een woord voor: shosa. In dit boek

Als je Japan bezoekt, is een van de eerste dingen die opvallen de kalme en respectvolle manier waarop Japanners zich gedragen. Een wever herhaalt meditatief duizend keer per dag precies dezelfde beweging, terwijl de theemeester elk sereen gebaar wijdt aan de harmonie van de ruimte. Hoewel we het in het Westen misschien moeilijk vinden om deze bedachtzame manier van bewegen uit te leggen, hebben de Japanners er een woord voor: shosa.

In dit boek portretteren journalist Ringo Gomez-Jorge en fotograaf Rob Walbers 12 Japanse makers uit verschillende regio’s. Van een bamboewever tot een tatamimattenmaker, van een keramist tot een zenmonnik. Ringo en Rob bezochten deze makers in hun ateliers en maakten diepgaande portretten in woord en beeld, op zoek naar de complexe betekenis van het woord shosa. Omdat de ambachtslieden vaak gebruik maken van lokale materialen, gaan de verhalen in dit boek ook over de omgeving; op die manier is Shosa ook een persoonlijke ode aan het Land van de Rijzende zon.

Freelance journalist Ringo Gomez-Jorge specialiseerde zich in persoonlijke diepte-interviews met ontwerpers, makers en kunstenaars. Hij schrijft voor Vlaamse kwaliteitskranten als De Standaard en De Morgen. Hij heeft een zwak voor Japan, waar hij zoveel mogelijk tijd probeert door te brengen. Rob Walbers werkt als freelance fotograaf vanuit Tokio. Zijn werk varieert van muziekfotografie tot mode en lifestyle. Naast zijn commerciële opdrachten werkt hij aan persoonlijke projecten waarmee hij al verschillende keren in de prijzen is gevallen.

Bij dit boek hoort een mooie 'Shosa' bedrukte draagtas uit stevig katoen, met een uniek ontwerp van vormgeefster Inge Rylant.

Je kan het Shosa boek of de 'Shosa' Totebag ook apart bestellen. Bij bestellingen boven de 100 euro (incl. Shosa) ontvang je de tas er gratis bij.

Fetch Perfection
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
If you’re anything like me, fetch is the ultimate game with your furry companion. The Chuckit! Dog Fetch Ball Medley has taken our playtime to the next level with its variety and durability. This 3-pack of medium-sized, ultra-rugged balls is perfect for endless games of fetch without worrying about wear and tear. I love how each ball has a unique texture and color, keeping my dog engaged and excited every time. The medium size is just right for energetic dogs, allowing for long throws and big leaps. Plus, the rugged design means these balls can withstand even the most enthusiastic chewers and rough play sessions, making them a great investment for active pets. However, the vibrant colors can sometimes make them easy to lose in green grass or sandy beaches, but a good game of hide-and-seek with your dog is a small price to pay for such fantastic fetch balls. Additionally, while they’re durable, no ball is completely indestructible, so occasional replacements might be necessary for the most aggressive players. Overall, the Chuckit! Dog Fetch Ball Medley is a must-have for any dog owner looking to enhance their playtime. They’re fun, durable, and keep both you and your dog entertained for hours. A solid 5-star rating for their quality and variety, with a tiny star lost to their occasionally elusive colors.

great ball!
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
My pitbull LOVES these. She is a power chewer and tough on balls and toys and tends to go through them insanely quick. She is still on her first ball out of this pack and its been at least two months. It is a little small for her mouth but she doesn’t seem to mind, as it has quickly become one of her favorites. Not a loud ball and it doesn’t usually make that wet chewy noise when shes going to town on it which is huge for me😂😂 Safe for my pittie so i’d imagine a smaller dog would be just fine.

Border Collie Approved: Easy to Clean, Durable, and Great Bounce
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
These are the best balls out there for dogs. These fit great in the chuck-it ball launcher, which we need to wear out my border collie. They fit her mouth properly and, most importantly, do not absorb all the spit or water after a good rain. They are quick to clean off and have good weight so you can let them fly! Furthermore, they bounce well, which is perfect for my dog that likes to catch them on a bounce. The ball is a strong rubber, so should not be easy to chew up. I've used these for years, and the only time I've had to replace them is when one gets lost in the hay field. I highly suggest these as replacements for the common tennis balls.

Treats and plenty of ball throwing with these doggie toy
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
I have actually purchased these twice already. I love the one that glows in the dark but it still got lost in my yard lol. My dog is a big breed half pitt/Labrador so she did chew through one of them already. I play ball with her every single day but I DO have to take them away from her because she will destroy them. They are great to add in treats as well, that was one of the my favorite things about them as well. They do last just if you have an over zealous chewer do not let them keep them for long periods of time. They are a good value for the price. Buy them your dog will love it!
