Regarding the wars as the main track of the history, I went into the trouble and read the Own Biography of Charles the IV. To my surprise, other then three or four interesting episodes that I had already known because they were quoted everywhere and all the time, there was nothing else but which battles he underwent and which towns he conquered. Basically a list of his success. It somewhat devalued this most appraised man of the Czech history in my eyes.Bohemian girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631000366849998907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470651587205565387.post-38125343981582784082009-07-05T18:03:53.762+02:002009-07-05T18:03:53.762+02:00I love Sashiko.

Mind you I am so into textile items created by women long time ago because I think it so much better represents what went on in daily life in a community or society than just wars - which is what history books seem to focus on...how can you tell they were written by men. I am so much more interested in what kind of clothing women sewed or knitted and where they sourced out their fibers to make their materials and how everything was put together.raining sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330747311809604870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470651587205565387.post-73412751962198953442009-07-04T13:28:50.615+02:002009-07-04T13:28:50.615+02:00OF course, it is true.

Which my rather awkwardly expressed phrase at the end wants to point at (I was said it didn't make sense). So, paradoxically, kitsch is also a cultural invention.Bohemian girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631000366849998907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470651587205565387.post-67777726882966516372009-07-04T07:46:40.655+02:002009-07-04T07:46:40.655+02:00The definition of what Art is very cultural.

Just think of African Sculpture: in the Western world it went from underestimated junk objects made by tribal people to art that revolutionized European style and aesthetics (Modigliani, Picasso etc). Africans were not making art per se: their sculptures always had a practical purpose, just like Japanese fishermen clothing, just like cave people paintings back in the Stone Age. Making something, and making it aesthetically pleasing is the artistic train human beings have always shared throughout their history, but making art per se is only of wealth(ier) societies. Now, I'm an anthropologist and no art historian as you know, and so I could be TOTALLY wrong here! <br />Btw, you're doing very nice sashiko work, and should be proud of your success. I'm looking forward to seeing what next you've been cooking!
