When Butterfly was ten, her family sold her to the geisha house, Hanano Okiya, to gain money to feed the family. Her hometown is in the North-East region of Japan and her family includes a mother, father, grandmother, older brother, younger sister and a younger brother who passed away before she was sold. Upon moving to Hanano Okiya, she was looked after by the older girls working there who watched over her like a younger sister. Ever since she was a child living in Hanano Okiya, she always played with Chinatsu Fukuzawa, a tattooist who lived behind the geisha house. She also had a long time crush on Chinatsu as well.

let's talk about harajuku style...


Harajuku is an area between Shinjuku and Shibuya. Local landmarks include the headquarters of NHK, Meiji Shrine, and Yoyogi Park.
The area has two main shopping streets, Omotesandō and Takeshita Street (Takeshita-dōri). The latter caters to youth fashions and has many small stores selling Gothic Lolitavisual kei, rockabillyhip hop, and punk outfits, in addition to fast food outlets and so forth.
The term "Harajuku Girls" has been used by English-language media to describe teenagers dressed in any fashion style who are in the area of Harajuku. This fashion infuses multiple looks and styles to create a unique form of dress. The cyber-punk look takes its influence from gothic fashion and incorporates neon and metallic colors. However, many in Tokyo admit it isn't as popular today as it once was.
Punk style in Harajuku is more of a fashion than a statement. Its fashion mainly consists of dark colors, plaid, chains, and zippers. Punk style is also one of the more gender-neutral fashions in Harajuku.
Ganguro is a style that symbolizes the average American teenager. The term translates to ‘black-faced’. The basic look is what Westerners would call a ‘California girl’, with bleached hair, dark skin, fake eyelashes and nails. It is not clear how Ganguro came to be. Many assume it originated in the early 1990s, when singer and performer Janet Jackson was popular.
Cosplay is more of a costume-based style. A cosplay enthusiast will usually dress as a fictional or iconic character from a band, game, movie, anime, ormanga.
Ura-Hara is another section of Harajuku, which caters to a mostly male population interested in a hip-hopgraffiti, and skater fashion and culture. Ura-Hara is seen as the opposite of Harajuku in that it’s more hidden and reserved.
In addition to Harajuku is its counterpart, known as Visual Kei. this refers to the style of bands and their fanbase. The term Visual Kei literally means a ‘visual style of music’. The melodies of the music these bands perform often resemble eighties rock, heavy metal, or techno; in some cases, the sound is a good mix of the three. The fashion began in the 1980s, when American metal bands were popular. Japanese fans loved how their idols would dress frantically and paint makeup wildly on their faces, so they began to emulate their style. This mimicking is also known is costume play, or cosplay.

chocolate addicted..

             one thing that i never knew why...i really love chocolate very much..so i'll try to know what is chocolate,,and why this food made me addicted...
             ok,,firstly i wanna try to describe what is chocolate..chocolate is came from cacao beans which come from a large pod that grows on a tropical tree. These beans are roasted, shelled, and ground into a paste. The cacao paste is mixed with sugar and cooked at a high temperature to make chocolate..
             People love chocolate. Each American eats almost 12 pounds of chocolate per year. There are many different types of chocolate such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate.
              well,,i think we must know about the history of chocolate it self..

History Of Chocolate

600 AD -
Mayans migrate into northern regions of South America 
establishing earliest known cocoa plantation.
1519 -
Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez recorded the cocoa 
usage in the court of Emperor Montezuma in the 
form of a beverage called 'Chocolatl'. 
The fact that Montezuma consumed large quantities 
of Chocolatl before entering his harem led 
to the belief that it was an aphrodisiac
1544 -
Dominican friars took a delegation of Kekchi Mayan
nobels to visit Prince Philip of Spain. 
The Mayans brought gifts jars 
of beaten cocoa, mixed and ready to drink. 
Spain did not export the beloved drink to the rest 
of Europe for nearly a century.
1585 -
First large shipments of cocoa beans began 
arriving in Seville. The Spanish roasted and 
ground the beans down to make chocolate 
powder which they then exported across Europe.
The chocolate powder was then used to make
the European version of Montezuma's Chocolatl drink. 
Although the Spanish did their best to keep the source 
of the chocolate powder a secret eventually 
the word got out and with that the Spanish
 monopoly of the chocolate trade ended.
1657 -
The first chocolate house was opened by a Frenchman. 
The shop was called The Coffee Mill and Tobacco Roll. 
Costing 10 to 15 shillings per pound, chocolate was
 considered a beverage for the elite class. 
None but the extremely rich could afford to drink Chocolatl.
It was so valuable in fact that it was even used as a currency.
1674 -
Eating solid chocolate was introduced in the form 
of chocolate rolls and cakes, served in chocolate emporiums.
1730 -
Cocoa beans had dropped in price from $3 per lb.
to being within the financial reach of those other 
than the very wealthy.
1732 -
French inventor, Monsieur Dubuisson invented 
a table mill for grinding chocolate.
1795 -
Dr Joseph Fry of Bristol, England, 
employed a steam engine for grinding cocoa beans, 
an invention that led to the manufacture of chocolate
on a large factory scale.
1828 -
The invention of the cocoa press, by Conrad Van Houten, 
helped cut prices and improve the quality of chocolate 
by squeezing out some of the cocoa butter and giving 
the beverage a smoother consistency. 
Conrad Van Houten patented his invention in Amsterdam 
and his alkalizing process became known as "Dutching".
1874 -
Joseph Fry & Son discovered a way to mix some 
of the cocoa butter back into the "Dutched" 
chocolate and added sugar, creating a paste 
that could be moulded. 
The result was the first modern chocolate bar.
1849 -
Joseph Fry & Son and Cadbury Brothers 
displayed chocolates for eating at an exhibition 
in Bingley Hall, Birmingham, England..
1857 -
The ambitious Swiss, Jean Neuhaus, left his native 
city of Neûchatel and set himself up in the 
Belgian capital, Brussels. 
Later that same year, with his brother-in-law,
a pharmacist, he opened his "first pharmaceutical 
confectioners" at 25-27 Galerie de la Reine, 
Europe's first covered shopping gallery. 
Jean Neuhaus made cough sweets,
liquorice for stomach complaints 
and bars of bitter chocolate.
This was the beginning of the Neuhaus history of chocolate.
1868 -
John Cadbury mass-marketed 
the first boxes of chocolate candies.
1876 -
Daniel Peter of Vevey, Switzerland, 
experimented for eight years 
before finally inventing a means of making milk chocolate
for eating.
1879 -
Rodolphe Lindt of Berne, Switzerland, 
produced a more smooth and creamy chocolate
that melted on the tongue. 
He invented the "conching" machine. 
o conch meant to heat and roll chocolate
in order to refine it. 
After chocolate had been conched for seventy-two hours 
and had more cocoa butter added to it, it was possible 
to create chocolate "fondant" 
and other creamy forms of chocolate.
1912 -
Following Frédéric's death his son 
Jean Neuhaus Junior took over the reins 
of the burgeoning and extremely successful business. 
Because of this success, he was able
to follow a more creative path. 
After months of experimentation 
with a new technique which he had developed, 
Jean finally achieved his goal and created 
the world's first filled chocolate, 
which he named "Praline" - 
a real milestone in chocolate history. 
His new invention brought about a revolution, 
and not only for his business!
1913 -
Swiss confiseur Jules Sechaud of Montreux 
introduced a machine 
process for manufacturing filled chocolates.
1978 -
The Neuhaus company was taken over by brothers 
Jean-Jacques and Claude Poncelet. 
Their objective was clear. 
They wanted to make Neuhaus a world famous brand 
with which they could capture the international market. 
Even more Neuhaus shops were opened in the United States, 
Canada, Japan, Colombia and Guadeloupe, 
as well as in most European capital cities.
1991 -
Neuhaus became the absolute market leader 
in the luxury praline sector in Belgium and Luxembourg 
and has retained this enviable position by further 
developing its home market. 
Thanks to a well-defined marketing strategy and 
an international network of nearly 2,000 sales outlets, 
more than 2,400 tons of Neuhaus products
are sold anually in 50 countries.
2000 -

His Majesty King Albert II bestowed upon Neuhaus 
the title of Accredited Supplier to the Belgian Crown.
