Cooking For The First Time In Kimono. 😁 Hubby Was Going To Cook Breakfast For Me After I Dressed For

Japanese zodiac hanao (sandal straps), by Yukiya sold by Getaya

They look so pretty when set on zori <3

(if somebody wish to treat me with the tiger ones I’ll be right here waiting xD)

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

Rotties love expensive dried fruit like hoshigaki too! She deserves since she has been such a good girl about her eye meds. Seeing the doggie opthamologist tomorrow. #rottweiler #Rottie #rottiesofinstagram #hoshigaki #persimmon #DriedPersimmon

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

Ms. Shizuoka Shigato Manale (left) of the Hiroshima Peace Project is wearing a kimono by bingata artist Isa Toshihiko, 1924-2010. The han-eri and tabi that I’m wearing (right) are by bingata artist 染谷 唯 Yui Someya. #japanesetextiles #ryukyu #okinawa #kimonos #kimono #IsaToshihiko #bingata #textiles #haneri tabi

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!

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

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

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

I think ellensama's post says it all. ❤️

Jotaro Saito Designs

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.
