New year new post

 and all that

Thinking a lot about Scandinavian and Japanese cultures. So different, so fascinating ( one because of the other? ) Earlier the West used to be obsessed with France- lot of francophiles trying to wrap scarves in a stylish way. Now the fascination is with hygge, ikigai and what not- What triggered the change? Just exposure? Or is it a feature of the generation - The older ones aspired for achievable stuff- France is just different enough to be achievable- ikigai belongs to another world ( another world view ) altogether. 

I am fascinated by Jap stationery/washi tapes/ and the artwork style. I dont know what the style is called but the mount fuji covered by cherry blossom look is my favorite artwork style. I have not fallen yet for the Korean craze although the Korean skin care brands are totally my thing. 

What specific look does India have? is it just the profusion of colour? The chaos & madness?
