Ms. Shizuoka Shigato Manale (left) Of The Hiroshima Peace Project Is Wearing A Kimono By Bingata Artist

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

Interesting kimono at the Baltimore Museum of Art’s exhibit “Kimono and Obi: Romantic Echos from Japan’s Golden Age.” It was commissioned by an American man for his wife for their vow renewal. The Japanese artisan couldn’t create a traditional wedding kimono as the woman was already married. And felt that a kurotomesode worn by married relatives of the bride would be wrong as well. So this was his artistic solution. #weddingkimono #wafuku #kimono #kimonolife #yuzen #kurotomesode

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

Getting ready to make a bowl of matcha on a beautiful, Fall day! This tea bowl is an oldie, and I love it's simple charm. #tea #matcha #chawan #shifuku #teabowltuesday

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.

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! 😍

Yukiwa / snow crystal kimono, cute snowman obidome and my new Tatsumura Textile hanhaba obi! I was so excited to get a chance to wear the obi. Love the pine needle pattern and it tied like a dream. 🌲❄️👘⛄️😊 @tatsumura2
