Getting Ready To Make A Bowl Of Matcha On A Beautiful, Fall Day! This Tea Bowl Is An Oldie, And I Love

I think ellensama's post says it all. ❤️

I am just in love with this designer so badly. That hooded Haori is just pure fashion porn. This is like my traditional Japanese version of suit porn.

I just love K9s so much that I can’t seem to get enough of them during the Year of the Dog. 😆 I was even born in a YOD. Here is a kobukusa by famous weaver Kitamura Tak Shinsaibashi with adorable dogs creating piles of puppies. I’ve had this awhile and have been waiting for a chance to break it out!

Just got my hoshigaki (hand-massaged, dried persimmons) in the mail. The several week process leaves a bloom of sugar from the fruit like a light frost. Jeff Rieger of Penryn Orchard is a one-man wonder! www.PenrynOrchardSpecialties.com. These are large, soft, and sweet. Yum-yum!! #hoshigaki #persimmon #DriedPersimon #japanesefood #japanesesnack

If I remember correctly, "E" is wearing a tsumugi, tsukesage kimono. I love the more formal tsumugis - that juxtaposition between formal and casual. Also her use here of the red accents turns this into a fun, young coordination!

Every time I see a photo of this kimono I want it more and more!! 👘💕😍

Kettle is on the stove. Just waiting for the water to boil. #tea #chawan #matcha #natsume #chashaku #teabowl

Lovely copper sculpture of floral kimono entitled "Wafuku" (Japanese traditional clothing) by Jaclyn Martin. The piece is installed for the Mansion at Strathmore exhibit Timeless Transformation, Kimono, Prints & Textiles. If I had the money and the place to put this, it would be mine! 😍
