Fude Japan (Makeup brushes from Japan)

about

I started out Fude Japan by helping friends with purchasing Japanese beauty products. When word got out, great interest from people all around the world followed and demand started growing – “Fude Japan” came to life. It is my goal to become a person in bringing a little bit of Japanese culture and tradition to each and every one of you. I also write blogs here, and introduce Japanese culture, tradition and lifestyle, from Tokyo life to an interesting story of Japan and Japanese. Online store is here https://store.fudejapan.com/ja Thank you! Toshiya

    There are some makeup shops I don’t want to visit

    Hi Everyone,  As you may know, I am located in Shibuya, so three or four department stores are within a walking distance.  It sounds easy, right? But, it takes some energy to go to the makeup sections of the department stores. I can feel that male customers are not welcomed, as we don’t look like…

    Hakuhodo brush will be returned to the factory

    Hi Everyone, I received a call from Hakuhodo.  I had an order of 4 x G5558, and one of them was not made as it should have been.  There is the Hakuhodo Standard which they need to follow, and they have the quality-check division. But the right one was sharper than the others, and the…

    Have you tried this ramen in Tokyo?

    Hi Everyone,  I recognize that some of you have been to Japan.  Some are repeaters, and you know Japanese food very well.  I am often surprised that you know places I have never been to)  Living in Tokyo, Japan,  I can tell you that the restaurant prices are in general not too expensive.

  • Working for a big company in Japan is respected?

    Hi Everyone, I read an interesting blog by a foreigner living in Japan. ‘Entrepreneurs in Japan complain it is difficult to find a girlfriend. One reason is parents want their daughters to marry a man who works for a big respected Japanese company. If a boyfriend works for a small unknown startup, parental approval is…

    Japan’s best Judo player lost in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic

    Hi Everyone,   As you might know, Tokyo will have the Olympic in 2020. The last Tokyo Olympic was held in 1964, and maybe, for me, it will be the first time to watch it in my life. I might be lucky to watch some of them, but I expect that people from overseas watch more and enjoy…

  • Japanese students wear uniform?

    Hi Everyone, I woke up early today at 5 am. This time, I did not go back to sleep,  LOL. Instead, I went to a gym, where many people were doing excercies before work. I was surprised! Anyway, it is not what I want to talk about.  When I came back, I saw many high school…

    Crowded train and a frog in warm water

    Hi Everyone,  I took a subway the other day during the busy hours. It was crowded.  Usually, the trains between 7 and 9 AM are the most crowded, and that is one of a few things I don’t like Tokyo about.  I spent my high school days in Hiroshima where I took a 7am train…

    Takeda brush ordering process

    Hi Everyone, We had a parade yesterday for the new Emperor and Empress.  The parade was scheduled a month ago but the big typhoon damaged Japan so badly that it was postponed. The Emperor is a symbol of Japan, and he has no political influence. He tries to be with people as much as possible…
