Taiko Drum Set

2010-07-08T10:32:00.000-07:00

Taiko (太鼓?) means "drum" in Japanese (etymologically "great" or "wide drum"). Outside Japan, the word is often used to refer to any of the various Japanese drums (和太鼓, 'wa-daiko', "Japanese drum", in Japanese) and to the relatively recent art-form of ensemble taiko drumming (sometimes called more specifically, "kumi-daiko" (組太鼓)).

Songs:

Tsugaru Shin Jonkara Bushi by Kyle Abbott (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=fiddlefella#p/u/31/_SvkFglRoD4)

Kyle Abbott was kindly enough to borrow one of the songs for this shamisen, I've been following his youtube channel for a while so I thought it was a good idea to do it. He built his own Tsugaru Shamisen and wrote a book about it! : The Shamisen of Japan: http://shamisenofjapan.com/
Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/fiddlefella

The rest of the song were taken from Tsugaru Shamisen by Takahashi Chikuzan a traditional shamisen player.

Japanese Lamps

2009-11-30T10:57:00.000-08:00

Japanese paper lamps are a very important symbol in asian culture, they are not only used for lighting, but also for festivals like Obon where floating lanterns are placed on a river stream to represent our friends that are not longer with us.

I was very inspired when I made these ones, I wanted it to be very functional and customizable.
The light script changes luminosity and glow randomly like if there were a real candle inside. Also you can change wood color and paper motif, giving you a lot of combinations.

Finally, in the ceiling version you can adjust cable's size automatically with menu buttons.

You can buy or test these lamps at my mainstore: Click to teleport

Itsukushima Shrine (Japanese: 厳島神社, Itsukushima Jinja) is a Shinto shrine on the island of Itsukushima in Japan. The first shrine buildings were probably erected in the 6th century, but the present shrine dates from the 12th century.

Food & Drinks

Kimonos, Parasols, Fans, they're pretty. But it's time to get something to eat.

Green Tea Ceremony

I made some advance in the scripting/building for this one. It has some interesting features like steam control, speech mode (so the geisha doesn't have to write tea ceremony by hand), also the "Give To..." function that lets you give a cup of tea directly from script menu!.

It's not sctrictly traditional but the features it has makes it very interesting and at a very low
Creation Date: November 2007
price: 275L

San San Kudo Ceremony: used for misedashi and japanese wedding a special sake set. There are only two in sl. It has an auto attacher so the couple doesn't have to attach the cups each time. Created on January 2008

A very complete sake set, only 250. Only 12 prims.

Chanoyu - Thin Tea Ceremony Set -

This is a very special product for me. I noticed that there was not a truly tradicional japanese tea ceremony set in SL. So I started researching. I met by accident a RL Tea Ceremony apprentice
Contessa Hissop (sl name) she was Kaji Aso's apprentice. So she provided me pictures and really valuable information about Chanoyu. So in this set even each item's position respects tradition. Contessa has written a ceremony speech that you can use with this tea set.
Also she has opened a new sim, if you really want to know about tea ceremony you must go there: Click HERE to go.

This tea set is really complete and has a lot of features. If you want the instructions manual send me an IM and i'll give it to you. Or you can go to Jocko Domo and test it by yourself

Hand Fans

2008-08-27T06:23:00.000-07:00

So, kimonos, parasols...what's missing? Ah!...Right!!! Hand Fans!! I think it's one of the products that customers more enjoy from Jocko Domo.

Hand Fan Blue Ice and Red Dragon

I made previous hand fans before these two. But these ones were the first ones (in SL?) that include Music, Light and also particles. They are controlled by a hand fan hud that also start stops the fanning animation.

These next ones are more detailed, made several months later. They include also Music, Light and Particles.

Only 200L Get them here

Traditional Parasols

2008-08-22T08:51:00.000-07:00

If you want something nice to match with the kimonos you should get these parasols. The prim work is very detailed and they come with a script to start stop hold animation.

You can get any of these for only 150L

Jocko Domo - Kimonos -

These were some of my firsts kimonos created in second life. While I'm preparing new ones I thought of showing some of my previous work, I think it's appropiate considering that Jocko Domo has one year old.

Blue, Green, Orange and Pink Satin Collection

Cheerful but delicate textures, ideal for maiko. With scripted obi (you can change its size by touch)

You can get these ones for less than 200L:

(model: MimiSoleil Dagger, also the one who designed the vendor those days)

Modern Geisha Kimono. Not traditional kimono, because geishas need to have fun!, some anime fans like it too.

Modern Geisha Kimono - 300L -

On the next post: Parasols to use with these kimonos.
