nijiro murakami x fem!reader ; instagram au!!

tw: make out session, dirty talk (i don’t what came over me it’s just felt right sorry 😭😭)

pov: since nijiro doesn't post anything on his ig account, you're the one who leaks pictures about him from yours. fans go crazy every time you post anything, scrolling through your pictures, they search for even a glimpse of nijiro in the background or when you post a silly picture about him. you are beautiful too, they know this, because why wouldn't nijiro date a pretty girl and love her with all of his heart? you two complete each other so perfectly, it's an extra pleasure if you leak some nijiro content!!

"are you gonna post that too?" nijiro asks as you lay on his chest, scrolling through your phone that is full of photos about him.

"why? i think it's cute." you replied as he stroked your waist. you two were in tokyo, and after he got home after shooting the new season of alice in borderland, a heated makeout-session eased his mind, but you still felt the semi hard-on under your thigh.

"you don't need to raid your account with me. i know you are doing this for my fans too." furrowing your eyebrows, you made a fake gasp.

"no, i'm not!" then sighing, dropping down your phone, you kissed his neck. "i'm sorry 'jiro... just can't get enough from you. i want everybody to see how you really are." you muttered into his chest as he tiled both of you on your sides.

"that's okay. just don't leak the most important things about us." he said, making you laugh as he kissed down on your neck, to your shoulders. you were in for a session again, but you wanted more, and you knew he wanted too. and maybe, turning on the voice record, it could be the next tape in the hidden map of the most important things on your phone.

"our sex tapes are our sex tapes. and you... "you began to slip down with your hands on his lips and his chest, "...and your body..." down to the waistband of his boxer, "...and your everything is also mine. just as i'm yours." you whispered as the two of you kissed. nijiro took away your hand with his, sipping the other to open your bralette behind your back.

"did you said this intentionally to fire me up and make love to you all night?" he asked with a hoarse voice, turning you on your back, pushing his thigh in between yours, making you gasp and low-key grind down to it.

"yeah, maybe i did it." you whined as he get down to your abdomen, stroking your fingers between his locks, waiting to ease the built up tension between your legs, the phone and the posts long forgotten.

"good girl", nijiro's voices were muffled by the skin on your thigh, and you let yourself gasp into the night from the pleasure he gave you.

and nijiro? since you're his girlfriend, his fans makes fan accounts about you too, hyping you up and encouraging you to be a model, making edits about you two, but mainly you. he doesn't tell you, but he always looks about these pages, and he playfully rolls his eyes from time to time, as you grin, while showing him tweets about his account as he liked these videos and edits. although he doesn't follow anyone, after a long time, he gets one followed account. yours. isn't he cute?

Shibumi: La Belleza en la Simplicidad y la Complejidad

En el frenético y agitado escenario del mundo moderno, donde la saturación de estímulos y superficialidades es la norma, surge el concepto japonés de Shibumi como una filosofía que nos invita a redescubrir la belleza en la simplicidad y la sofisticación en lo complejo. Shibumi no es solo una palabra, es un universo entero de significado que encapsula una forma de vida que fusiona la estética, el comportamiento y la percepción del mundo.

El Alma de Shibumi

Shibumi es la esencia de una belleza que se revela como sencilla y compleja a la vez, sutil y profunda. Se encuentra en la naturalidad y la espontaneidad, en la perfección de lo imperfecto y la armonía de lo desigual. Como lo describe magistralmente Leonard Koren en su obra "Wabi-Sabi: For Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers", Shibumi es "la cualidad estética que es a la vez simple y compleja, sutil y profunda".

La Manifestación de Shibumi

Este concepto se manifiesta en diversas formas de arte japonés, como la ceremonia del té, la jardinería Zen y la caligrafía. En estos expresiones artísticas, la meticulosa atención al detalle y la búsqueda de la perfección se combinan para crear experiencias estéticas y espirituales únicas. Según Betty Edwards en su obra "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", Shibumi es "una experiencia estética que es a la vez estimulante y relajante, desafiante y satisfactoria".

Shibumi en la Vida Diaria

Pero Shibumi no se limita al ámbito artístico, es una filosofía que puede impregnar cada aspecto de nuestra vida. Significa vivir con modestia y sin pretensiones, encontrar belleza en las cosas simples, buscar la excelencia en nuestras acciones de manera discreta, sin ostentación. En palabras de Alan Watts en "The Way of Zen", Shibumi es "la belleza de lo ordinario, la elegancia de lo simple".

Un Antídoto Contra el Exceso

En un mundo donde prevalece la obsesión por lo excesivo y llamativo, Shibumi nos invita a simplificar nuestras vidas, a encontrar belleza en la tranquilidad y a apreciar la sutileza en lugar de la ostentación.

Ejemplos Vivientes de Shibumi

- Una taza de té sin adornos, hecha a mano con arcilla simple y apreciada por su funcionalidad y calidez.

- Un jardín Zen con piedras cuidadosamente colocadas, rastrillado de arena y un árbol solitario, que evoca una sensación de paz y armonía.

- Una pintura de caligrafía con tinta negra sobre papel blanco, que expresa la esencia de una idea con trazos simples y elegantes.

Cómo Integrar Shibumi en tu Vida

- Observa ejemplos de Shibumi en tu entorno: en la arquitectura, el diseño, la naturaleza e incluso en las personas.

- Practica Shibumi en tu vida diaria: simplifica tu espacio, aprecia los pequeños detalles y vive con modestia y autenticidad.

- Aprende más sobre Shibumi: lee libros, artículos y mira videos sobre este tema fascinante.

Shibumi nos recuerda que la verdadera belleza reside en la simplicidad, la modestia y la armonía con nuestro entorno. Nos invita a vivir con gracia y elegancia, y a descubrir la perfección en lo simple y lo complejo.

Citas para Reflexionar

- Haruki Murakami: "La belleza no es algo que se pueda poseer. Es algo que se experimenta."

- Yasunari Kawabata: "Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos."

- Jiro Ono: "La simplicidad es la clave de la verdadera elegancia."

Art Group: GUTAI

GUTAI were a Japanese avant-grade artist group that formed in 1954 whose radical approaches and ideas around art making anticipated later performance and conceptual art of the 1960’s and 70’s.

Group included artist: Yoshihara Jiro, Kanayma Akira, Murakami Saburo, Shiraga Kazuo and Shozo Shimamoto.

Works to note:

Shiraga’s Challenge to the “Mud” 1955, in which the artist rolled half naked in a pile of mud.

Murakami stunning performance “Laceration of Paper”, in which he ran through a paper screen.

Shiraga used his feet to paint a large canvas sprawled across the floor.

My Studio Ghibli Movie Run

Anime was never an escape from reality but a dive deeper into it. My

Quarantine did come with its perk if you are willing to indulge yourself in new found favourites. As most of us who are home quarantined we are always on the run for what to indulge upon next. After much of viewing trailers and reading the short bio I decided to go for this Anime movie called 'Only Yesterday' and it left with a feeling one gets after a Murakami book only wanting for more. And it was only then I realised maybe this was what everyone else was talking about when they addressed Studio Ghibli. And thus began my Studio Ghibli Movie run where I was on an adventure to watch every single one of Studio Ghibli movie ever to be made. I started off by watching 2 movies a day for 4 consecutive days but it started having a bad effect on my sleep cycle, So I cut down on my run and sticked with 1 movie a day..  The trio of directors of Studio Ghibli each had their own way of directions however they were on the similar track of providing a movie that would inspire children to be humane and respect nature and tradition in the process of growing up. Studio Ghibli sees the modern world to rob a child of its inborn power to discover the mystic of nature with its power of imagination. Therefore we always see children as being the lead protagonists of their movies who according to the producers are the closest with Nature. Can we ever forget that Nature Rhyme in Princess Kaguya or how Mei and Satsuki from My neighbour Totoro befriended Totoro who returned love with nothing else but love or Haru from the Cat Returns whose one act of kindness to a kitten in her childhood saved her from the brutality of being stuck in the Cats kingdom for life? This reminds me of what Wordsworth stated in his Lyrical ballads 'Nature never did break the heart of the one's that truly loved her”. The  interpretations of these migh be multi layered, some might also find instances of the 18TH century Romantic ideology, however the foremost attraction to these movies has to be their non digitilised art. They even quoate it took them a month to create 12 minutes of the movie as they still depend upon their hand drawn art and maybe thats why they work best for the viewers. Studio Ghibli formally came into existence 1985 and was created by Tokuma Shoten who published "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds" in 1985.The locus of the production house Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata who were previously working Toei Animation, but together with Toshio Suzuki founded this production house.Miyazaki named the studio as Ghibli which was the name of the hot air that blew in the Sahara desert. This name was used by Italian military aircraft during the WW2.Miyazaki being an ardent lover of aircrafts named the same signifying a new wind that will blow in the Japanese animation industry. Owing to this love for aircrafts The Wind rises came out telling the story of Jiro the famous Japanese engineer. Human relationships are some of the many aspects these movies emphasis upon, while many viewers may view it as a romance where one finds their better half in the journey or the adventure that they embark upon however we find Miyazaki clearly stating that, Love as for Studio Ghibli never becomes the subject of their movies rather it is showcased in a platonic way where it starts from a strong sense of friendship which in the process may lead to a life time of companionship. Could Jiro ever design those beautiful aircrafts that he states as dreams without the support of Naoko? Could Chihiro have survived  the Spirit's world if it wasn't for Haku's dedicated friendship, could little Ponyo ever leave behind her life in the depths of the ocean or her powers if it wasn’t for the love and trust her first human friend Sosuke, or could  Taeko from Only yesterday actually understand that the thing that was attracting her to the country life was not just the open saffron fields but the people and warmth that she had never received from her life in Tokyo.The idea of a protagonist and antagonists is very thin in most Studio Ghibli movies, as far as my understanding they never define any character as entirely good or bad rather they make them flexible which has the capacity to evolve. Even the cruellest of the characters are backed by circumstances of past events that made them who they were. Maybe this one feature draws us to their movies where we are left to belief that every individual has an inert innocence in their hearts no matter what life circumstances made them into. Maybe that is what the sea pirates in Porco Rosso signified who nevertheless won the hearts of many or the witch from Howl’s Moving castle or Haru (the maid) from Arriety never were entirely addressed as wicked but we see how these characters turn to a more positive life. As per women always being the lead Miyazaki was asked of his fascination to which he jokingly replied 'I love women' but the movies clearly shows their deep cited respect for women. The leads as Miyazaki stated are ‘brave, self-sufficient girls who don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They will need a friend or a supporter but never a  saviour. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man’.

Be it Kiki who went out to discover the world on her own or Umi from, From up on the Poppy Hill who looked after her boarding house in the absence of her mother and still joined hands to fight against the demolition of the clubhouse with Shun.All these reasons fall short to describe the beauty of Studio Ghibli but above all what this movies do for us is give us Hope. Hope for a better tomorrow in a already beautiful world which has so much of abundance for the one willing to indulge upon. As for Hayao Miyazaki rightly quoted ‘Life is a winking light in the darkness’ and Ghibli movies are definite representation of Life in all its shade.

Gutai were a Japanese avant-garde group formed in 1954 whose radical ideas and approaches to making art anticipated later performance and conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s

The Gutai Bijutsu Kyokai (Gutai Art Association) was formed in 1954 in Osakaby by Yoshihara Jiro, Kanayma Akira, Murakami Saburo, Shiraga Kazuo and Shozo Shimamoto. The word has been translated into English as ‘embodiment’ or ‘concrete’. Yoshihara was an older artist around whom the group coalesced and who financed it. The art historian Yve-Alain Bois has said that ‘the activities of the Gutai group in the mid 1950s constitute one of the most important moments of post-war Japanese culture’.In their early public exhibitions in 1955 and 1956 Gutai artists created a series of striking works anticipating later happenings and performance and conceptual art. Shiraga’s Challenge to the Mud 1955 (third and fifth image in set), in which the artist rolled half naked in a pile of mud, remains the most celebrated event associated with the group. Also in 1955 Murakami created his reportedly stunning performance Laceration of Paper(second image in set), in which he ran through a paper screen. At the second Gutai show in 1956, Shiraga used his feet to paint a large canvas sprawled across the floor. From about 1950 Shimamoto had been making paintings from layers of newspaper pasted together, painted and then pierced with holes, anticipating the pierced work of Lucio Fontana. In 1954 Murakami had made a series of paintings by throwing a ball soaked in ink at paper. In 1956 Shimamoto went on to make works called Throws of Colour (fourth image in set) by smashing glass jars filled with pigment onto canvases laid out on the floor.Ashiya City Museum of Art and History in Japan holds a large collection of Gutai work and archives. The group dissolved in 1972 following the death of Yoshihara. There was a retrospective exhibition of their work at the Jeu de Paume in Paris in 1999.
