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! 😍

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!

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!

Off to the Baltimore Museum of Art’s curator’s tour of their exhibit “Kimono and Obi: Romantic Echos from Japan’s Golden Age.” It’s 105 F / 40.5 C. Glad I got my new hemp juban! #wafuku #kimono #obidome #summerkimono #kimonolife #baltimoremuseumofart #BMA

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

Just a trivia note. The plaid on that jacket belongs to my Clan Hamilton. 😄 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
