Message content: What are: "tabako-ire"; "yatate"; "kin-chaku" etc. ? These are types of sagemono. Types of pouches made of leather or other material worn similarly to inro. Tabako-ire - a tobacco container, yatate - a container for writing utensils, kin-chaku - a type of purse. Hi, I've been reading your site for a while. In the fragment above you have a small typo (writing tools) - maybe you will want to correct it 😀 Regards. Iza Thanks Iza.

There are probably a lot of such typos. I tried to give ChatGPT4 the texts to correct, but it turns out that it has some problems and apart from correct corrections, it changes things that shouldn't be corrected. I will correct myself and do the correction manually.

Congratulations for the "Japanese" website. Is this website aimed at experts or laypeople? The language (simpler or more hermetic) and the amount of information you want to convey (a lot and different or short information about a subject, its function, history) depend on this.

Thanks Ania. A very interesting question. I would like to pass on information to both. It is known that for professionals the content may be too shallow and incomplete, and for laypeople too professional and illegible. I was more interested in the popularization value. However, unfortunately, when describing Japanese applied art, it is impossible to avoid the terminology and classification typical of this cultural circle. I am aware that the most attractive approach would be based on sample presentations and analysis of specific works or stories in a lighter form. This is the nature of many publications in the form of catalogs of collections or exhibitions. Maybe I will try to tackle such a task in subsequent articles. Nowadays, you can find a lot of information on the Internet, but it is incomplete, disordered and without something like a "signpost" it is difficult to find it, not to mention its reliability. That's why I tried to compare various sources, check everything, and also include data that is not available on the Internet (!). I am preparing an article Japanese lacquer part. 3 Themes - this one will be less professional and therefore perhaps more readable. Regards
