Here are some more information for Japanese Hand Painted:
If other people use red wine or vinegar in their cooking, there is also Japanese cooking wine. Thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of Japanese food, this can be found in your local grocery store. Also called mirin, Japanese cooking wine is a sweet rice wine that is a mixture of steamed rice, rice yeast, and liquor, which is then fermented. First used as an alcoholic beverage, today, it is primarily used for cooking purposes, as it is made to be sweeter and thicker.
Many people confuse mirin with sake, as both are Japanese wine. Mirin has lower alcohol content than sake, and the different kinds of mirin differ in their alcohol content. Mirin that has less than a percent of alcohol is called shin mirin, while mirin with fourteen percent alcohol is hon mirin. They both taste the same, so many opt for shin mirin for cooking. Sake has twenty percent alcohol. Also, if you have noticed that Japanese food almost always seems sweet, it is because of this Japanese cooking wine. Teriyaki is a sweet sauce in Japanese dishes, and its main ingredient is mirin. Mirin is composed of about forty to fifty percent sugar.
It is found in bottles, and has a light gold colour. Almost all supermarkets and grocery stores now carry mirin. Look for it in the international foods section, and not in wine sections.
One of the reasons why mirin is popular for preparing Japanese dishes is because most of their food includes fish and other seafood; mirin is a good ingredient that takes away the smell of seafood. Truly, the Japanese cooking wine or mirin is an ingredient no Japanese kitchen can do without. It is as common as soy sauce, and both are in fact used frequently in preparing Japanese dishes.

Himfr.com Reports Toyota Apologizes For Handing Of Safety Issues In Testimony
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Toyota Motor Corp.'s U.S. sales chief, James Lentz, apologized for the company's handling of safety issues in Tuesday's hearing in U.S. Congress.
"In recent months, we have not lived up to the high standards our customers and the public have come to expect from Toyota," said Lentz in his prepared testimony. "Put simply, it has taken us too long to come to grips with a rare but serious set of safety issues, despite all of our good faith efforts."
He noted that the problem has also been compounded by poor communications both within the company and with regulators and consumers.
"We acknowledge these mistakes, we apologize for them and we have learned from them," said Lentz. "We now understand that we must think differently when investigating complaints and communicate faster, better and more effectively with our customers and our regulators."
His remarks came as U.S. Congress this week launched two hearings on Toyota. On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Government Reform committee is scheduled to hold a hearing at which Toyota President Akio Toyota will testify.
On Tuesday's hearing held by the House Energy and Commerce committee, Hentz also defended that electronic problems did not contribute to sudden acceleration of its cars.
"We are confident that no problems exist with the electronic throttle control system in our vehicles," said the Toyota's U.S. chief. "We have designed our electronic throttle control system with multiple failsafe mechanisms to shut off or reduce engine power in the event of a system failure."
He added the company has done extensive testing of the system and "has never found a malfunction that caused unintended acceleration."
However, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in the testimony that the government's investigation of Toyota includes the possibility that electric problems had a role in sudden acceleration.
"We will continue to investigate all possible causes of unintended acceleration. While the recalls are important steps in that direction, we don't maintain that they answer every question about that issue," said LaHood in his prepared testimony.
Meanwhile, Toyota president Akio Toyota acknowledged that the auto giant had stumbled badly.
"It is clear to me that in recent years we didn't listen as carefully as we should, or respond as quickly as we must, to our customers' concerns," he wrote in The Wall Street Journal.
"I pledge that Toyota will set a new standard for transparency and speed of response on safety issues," he vowed. "We also will strive to lead on advanced safety and environmental technologies."
In his prepared testimony for delivery on Wednesday's hearing, Akio Toyota also admitted the Toyota's expansion "may have been too quick," which led to the safety issues.
"Toyota has, for the past few years, been expanding its business rapidly. Quite frankly, I fear the pace at which we have grown may have been too quick," he said in the prepared remarks.
He again apologized for the safety problems.
"I regret that this has resulted in the safety issues described in the recalls we face today, and I am deeply sorry for any accidents that Toyota drivers have experienced," he said.
But U.S. lawmakers scoffed at Toyota's insistence that electronics were not a possible cause.
"Toyota had three response (to the more than 2,6000 complaints of runaway vehicles)," said Representative Henry Waxman, "First, blame the driver. Second, blame the floor mat. Third, blame a sticky gas pedal."
Aaron Bragman, analyst at IHS Global Insight, said that the mood of the investigative committees going into these hearings is "looking increasingly hostile towards Toyota."
Meanwhile, Toyota dealers across the United States gathered in the capital Tuesday, urging Congress to give the Japanese auto maker a fair shake and saying their livelihood depend on it.

How can I help my imagination? (as an artist and in general)?
I'm a 16 year old artist. My specialty is in, Anime/Manga("Japanese" style) and Fantasy.I don't have a strong strength in backgrounds or scenery, I'm just starting to get more into that, also starting to paint more.
But anyway, if feels like when even I really want to draw lately, I can't think of something other than a figure, in the same way nothing special. But feels like I DO have something in my head but it feels like it's being held by hands (literately) (Its like i can use holes in my head to let it out haha) preventing me to think of anything wild.... and it's quite frustrating.
Is it focus problems?
Thinking too much?
Work on scenery?
Is there any medicine to help? (sounds kinda silly though)
A need to read more? (cause I rarely do b/c finding books to keep my interests are rare)
I don't know guys! Give me a hand! Art is my life passion and i want to succeed in it in anyway possible! Other Artists you know the feeling
I tell this to any artist that is in a dry spell -- break out of your regular routine. So somewhere you never been before. Change your sleeping hours. Meet different people. Change your hair. Just do SOMETHING DIFFERENT ... then things will start to pop up for you.
