I’ve just discovered this fantastic Japanese blog called Lifecycling. Tadatomo Oshima and Naoki Morimoto have created a web magazine introducing people who are passionate and picky about ‘things’ and ‘stuff’. Each post on their website features an interview with a creative- artist, author or antique collector- alongside beautiful images of their Japanese homes. It offers a glimpse into their lives, from their workspaces to their kitchens, which all look natural and lived-in, not curated or styled.
Their philosophy is summed up in this sentence: “We believe that ‘Quality of Life’ is a cycle of having an imagination to make wishes reality, creating things by hand (=art), owning items that we become attached to, interaction with people, memories, nature, environment and, above all, living.” Check out the website here: http://www.ideelifecycling.com
