a-gay-old-time:

Here is a quick little tutorial for how I do the titling/designs on my books! All you’ll need is a printer, some white chalk/pencil graphite, painter’s tape, a tiny paintbrush, and some fabric paint! You’re basically going to make some homemade transfer paper in order to transfer the design to the cover and then carefully paint over the design once you’ve got it on the book.

First, you’ll print out whatever design you want to have on your cover (this can be lettering or pictures–just remember you will be painting over this so you want it to be a big enough size that you’re confident that you can paint over it and still have it be clear). Then you’ll flip the paper over and rub either white chalk or pencil graphite on the backside of the design you want transferred (white chalk for dark bookcloths, graphite for light colored bookcloths). Next, you’ll tape your design down where you want it on the book using painter’s tape with the chalk/graphite side facing the bookcloth. The next step is to carefully trace over your design with a pencil–this transfers the chalk/graphite where you trace to the bookcloth. 

You should now be left with the lettering/picture in chalk/graphite on the bookcloth! And then the last step is to paint over the design with some fabric paint (I really like the Lumiere by Jaquard metallic acrylic paints, as they are opaque but also a really nice thin consistency that’s easy to paint with and they’re designed for use on fabric…the non-metallic paints by Jaquard are also good but I like to thin them out a little with water because they’re a thicker consistency–I found these paints at Blick).

Here’s a finished example of what this ends up looking like!

tanuki-kimono:

[How to keep warm in Winter during Edo-era], illustration by Sayuri Sasai. Japanese homes were (and still are…) badly insulated, so people had to find ways to keep warm. Common solutions (beside putting on layers and layers of clothing) were to use:

  • 褞袍 Dotera (kimono like vest padded with fibers like cotton, silk, wool, etc).You can still find nowadays a remnant of those items in 半纏 hanten (padded haori). It’s worth noting that during most of Edo-era, haori (=short coats) were considered men wear items only.
  • 囲炉裏 Irori (sunken hearth), used for cooking and keep warm. Poor country folks with small houses would lay their beds around it to keep warm during the night. 
  • 行火 Anka (foot/bed warmer), clay heaters using coals which appeared during Muromachi period. Shapes greatly varied over time. Another name for those during Edo was 辻番 tsujiban (”watchers”, from the watch patrolling in streets, especially to prevent tsujigiri murders but also on the look out for fires which were a major hazard in Edo).
    Anka were used under 炬燵 kotatsu (table covered by a futon called kotatsugake) or when sleeping under a 夜着 yogi (padded quilt shaped like a kimono).
  • 火鉢 Hibachi (portable hearth) were the period portable heaters. Many existed, materials and decors depending on the household wealth. Shaped included bowl like 丸火鉢/maruhibashi, or 長火鉢/nagahibashi(wooden box ones, drawn here).
    Hibachi were the primary heating system for folks living in nagaya(tiny rowhouses typical of Edo cities) and a major fire source! (see fire hazard above)
