It’s officially Spring but it still feels like winter here in Japan.
This year’s climate has been extremely strange!!!
But since the unique climate changes, we still get to see the cherry blossoms bloom and pro-long our “cherry blossom viewing party.”
In Japan, the school and business year starts in April.
During this time, many people buy new items that match the new season to freshen up their look; and of course including bags.
I really hope our bags will be part of their new get-up!
Today I learned something new!
Here’s one of our poplar bags
(NO:LJ-20051(M),LJ-20052(S))
The bag’s closure in the picture is called “Gama-Guchi.”
Gama means frog and Guchi means its lips.
So the “Gama-Guchi” saying means “frog’s lips”.
That does not sound appealing at all!
But just recently I found out that “Gama-Guchi” in English is “Kiss Lock!”
Now this I can find very appealing!
I really love the name, just sound so sweet!♪
It’s very interesting how people in different countries see the same thing but give off a different meaning or point of view. This is a prime example!
Have you had any experience like this before?
Learning something new feels great!
Have a wonderful day!
