It's time for Gion Matsuri which takes place during July in Kyoto, Japan. This is a vintage fan decorated to celebrate the festival. I think this may be the Ofune-Biko float in the Minami-Kannon-Yama district. Or it may just be part of the many lanterns on display in the district on Yoiyama evening as that float wasn't seen for 150 years until it made its return in 2014. #Kyoto #gionmatsuri #sensu #fan

Breaking out my puppy dog 🐶 chawan / tea bowl that has a cute little illustration of a dog that reminds me of my fluff ball, Miss Calhoun.
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.
Merry Christmas to all our fur-friends and friends around the world! 🌲⛄️💕✨ #rottweiler #rott
Every time I see a photo of this kimono I want it more and more!! 👘💕😍
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! 😍

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
