We are busy creating some Japan related LEGO designs. See below for more photos.
All created by us and copyrighted.
Hungry? Visit our traditional sushi bar.
A LEGO example of a NORIMONO KAGO, or formal japanese single pole palanquin. Used by members of the Japanese upper class.
A LEGO example of a GOSHOGURUMA, or royal ox-cart. Used by, mainly female, members of the Japanese court during and after the HEIAN period.
A set of 2 kimonos on their stands. The white kimono is a furisode, the black one a kuro tomesode.
Diorama of our brave samurai travelling to their next destination, whatever that may be... a sushi bar maybe?
Diorama of a meeting of samurai in the main hall. They are in such a rush that they kept their helmets on! No time to waste. Special detail are the hand gilded 1x1 bricks in back wall.
Some sample LEGO torii gates for your Japanese garden.
A house always needs a folding screen, so start with a small LEGO one. Cute and easy to make.
For those
visitors that love kimono and love colouring or being creative,
we have created a series of little booklets with kimono designs,
kosode designs, and others, from the 1700's that can be coloured
in.
Watch the video:
The
colouring books are based on these books, reprinted from recut
woodblocks, based on the originals, in the early 1900's.

Having
been a collector of Japanese items for many years, and having
had the opportunity to share this passion with people locally,
we thought it nice to be able to share this with a wider
audience.
Doing exhibitions on a small scale
in, amongst others, the Japanese Garden in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, we hope that all those visiting our site will enjoy
the images of these exhibitions.
You can find some generic
information of subjects we enjoy and we hope you will find those
interesting.
Please enjoy browsing through our
site and feel free to contact us with comments, questions or
requests.
Regards,
Arjen

OUR HISTORY

We live in Spain now, looking
for some sun and relaxation.
Any suggestions, let us know.
Who knows what the future will bring.

We were based in
Folkestone, England, but unfortunately have not been able to
show much of our collection. Maybe our next stage will
facilitate new opportunities.
FUYUya in BUENOS AIRES,
ARGENTINA, 2005 - 2011

For personal reasons we moved
to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2005, where we initially
started up the business again over the internet and from
home.
The name was changed from FUYU
to FUYUya, which now includes the japanese reference for
business or shop, "YA". Later we had a dedicated
section in a flat in Avenida Pueyrredón in the center
of Buenos Aires.
Our activities became well
known because of our connection with the Japanese Garden in
Buenos Aires. With their help we organised several
exhibitions about different styles of kimono, kimono fashion
shows and dress-up activities of famous Argentinians for
publicity reasons. To publicise the exhibitions we were
asked for several interviews for radio, television and
papers.
We also were asked to provide
kimonos for several adverts, some even international, and
other activities related with japanese kimono. Our extensive
page on Press will show you most of these activities.
FUYU in MADRID, SPAIN,
2003 - 2005

<Read

We moved to Madrid in Spain
the end of 2001 and in 2003 we opened our first real shop.
We called it FUYU, japanese for "winter" being my
surname. It was well known as a specialist shop in kimono.
The shop was located in a street called "Calle San
Lorenzo" in the centre of Madrid.
We appeared in many TV and
radio programs and in magazines because of the uniqueness
and quality of the more elaborate kimonos and its
accessories.
We also rented and sold kimonos to several film, advert and
theatre productions, for example a version of "Madame
Butterfly" and a scene in the film "Capitán
Alatriste" which unfortuntately was cut out.
FUYU in LONDON, 1990´s

Our history begins in London
in the late nineties, when we did some small selling
activities from our front room in Willesden Green while
getting experience in selling kimonos in a well known kimono
shop in Golborne Road in London, ASAHI, which is now closed.
