Ok Gofukuya has once again stole my heart, I believe this cheeky seal is my favourite design in their catalogue (Look at that cute face <3 How one cannot love seals, they are basically sea puppies ^^)
Hubby and I at the opening of The Mansion at Strathmore exhibit Timeless Transformation, Kimono, Prints & Textiles.
Cooking for the first time in kimono. π Hubby was going to cook breakfast for me after I dressed for our Kimono de Jack DC outing. I got dressed and he woke up with a painful ankle. So here I am heading into the kitchenβ¦π³
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! π

My New Years matcha just arrived from Japan with a cute little graphic for the Year of the Dog. It is wakamatsu-no-mukashi which is one of my favorite teas from Ippodo Tea. They have stores in Kyoto, Tokyo, and New York. Canβt wait to have a bowl. πΆπ΅π
