Here are some more information for Ceramic Japanese:
Well, we have good news and bad news on this one. The good is that it can be done. The bad, is that it will take a great deal of time and patience, and in the end may simply not be worth it, especially if you need to keep all the tiles for re-use, and some get broke in the process.
The two adhesives for attaching ceramic tiles are organic based mastic, and the cement-based thinset. Mastic is not used where there will be a great deal of moisture, because it tends to absorb it over time, and loses its bond. It has been used successfully in shower stalls, but depending on the quality of the installation, may only last 3-6 years.
On the other hand, thinset being a cement product, does not absorb water, and is longer lasting for use in areas that will have high levels of humidity and lots of water. Unfortunately, that also means there are few options for removing it. It will not break down when soaked, and there are no chemical removers for cement, as there are for adhesive.
If you have managed to remove tiles intact, that were anchored with thinset, you are to be congratulated. This is a feat in itself. Tiles are simply a refined clay that has been baked for a certain amount of time, at a set temperature, which will determine its compressive strength. But it is not a flexible material, and has very little tensile strength, or flexibility.
That virtually eliminates using a chisel or even a putty knife to try and chip or lever the thinset off the tile. Your only real option is to grind it down, as gently as possible, with an electric sander. Not only is it difficult to fix the tile in place so you aren't grinding off the back of it, but it is a delicate and time-consuming job.
If the point is to repair a spot, or to re-use all the tile you have, chances are that you will come up short when some get broken. In that case, try using a complementary color or design, and create a pattern, border, or shape with the new tiles, that will supplement the old tiles you saved, so that you have enough to complete the job.

Antique Japanese Pottery: Collecting the Pre-ceramic Ancient Past
Age, naturally, plays a factor in the value of any Japanese antiques to collectors. More than that however, there are multiple questions regarding the quality, past owners, aesthetic beauty, and so on that can also influence the ‘prestige’ in which a given item of antique Japanese pottery is held.
Surprising as it might be, just because some antique Japanese vases or other earthenware hail from a period that pre-dates ceramic, it does not mean that they lack in beauty. Admittedly, the oldest pieces that go all the way back to the Neolithic times may have been crude, but as time passed, the art of potters in Japan grew by leaps and bounds.
Periods of Antique Japanese Pottery Before Ceramics
Right after the Neolithic, in the Mesolithic, it was the time of the Jomon pottery period. Named after its very recognizable coil-made clay structure, the Jomon antique Japanese pottery items gradually incorporated more artistic elements into their designs.
For about 10,000 years, the Jomon period continued to make steady progress in terms of the antique Japanese vases and other Japanese antiques that were produced.
Eventually, the Jomon culture itself was displaced by the Yayoi, which brought with it entirely new advances in style, patterning, design, and even manufacture. Notably, they used the potters wheel instead of just making each piece by hand.
Most of the antique Japanese pottery from this period is very simple in decorative motifs. Antique Japanese vases that have patterns involving geometric designs were particularly popular, as were other Japanese antiques that had practical applications.
After some time, even the Yayoi faded away, and from there on out, South Korean potters bringing over their own advancements, as well as the steady Chinese influence, became ever more common. In short, it set the scene for the day when porcelain would eventually be discovered by one of the Korean potters in Japan.
Due to the relative rarity and age of the old (non-porcelain) antique Japanese pottery pieces, they normally tend to be pretty valuable. Even the not so aesthetically pleasing Yayoi Japanese antiques are much sought after.
If you’re a collector, you should definitely be able to identify and differentiate between these pieces, and their more modern counterparts. After all, due to their value, if you ever stumble across antique Japanese vases or other earthenware that hails from the Yayoi or Jomon periods, you’ll want to grab it up immediately.

I have curly hair, but I straight permed it. I don't want to keep it straight can i curly perm it again?
Four months ago I straightened my hair using the Japanese method. I have really curly natural hair so my roots are curly now, and I have to straighten them everyday with a ceramic straightener, or blow dry my hair using a round brush. I don't want to be stuck straightening my hair until the part I straitened grows out, so can i curly perm it?
perming is a bad idea in general. It ruins your hair. Try getting a non damaging str8tner, some products from damaged hair and some oils. Then you can straighten ur hair or curl ur hair like evry day or a mixture of both
choose a best answer?
hope i helped
