::Metallic Leopard::

日本語ver. → こちら

Last weekend was super sunny and we felt like it's already summer. 
Around this time of a year, it is really tricky to choose which kimono to wear because the tradition tells you to wear autumn-winter kimono until the end of May, but the weather is already too warm to wear it without sweating.... 

My friend and I were going to "Earth Day Tokyo" event at Yoyogi park last weekend to see the singer called "bird" perform on the stage.
I was debating whether or not to wear a spring kimono for this casual occasion but chose autumn-winter one this time, but in the light color for the season.



Off-white batik kimono.


With metallic reversible obi to show the casual mood.


Light purple accents with the collar and the sash between the kimono and obi.





Hairdo of the day.



Metallic shoes in pink.



Casual Metallic Leopard....


Under the beautiful sun, we headed straight to the stage where bird was singing. I've heard of the name a long time go but didn't recognize her until I listened to her on the stage last weekend. 
It was nice listening to her beautiful songs along the acoustic guitar. 


On the way to Earth Day Tokyo, I found out the brand my friends produces had a temporary shop opened on the street there. 
My friend and I visit their shop and she got one of those headbands, which I have in different textiles. 

It was such a fun day!!!

::Oriental Flowers::

日本語ver. → こちら

After cherry blossom season in Tokyo, I still got a chance to see beautiful ones in full bloom in a small gallery in Omotesando last weekend. 

Hiromitsu Kato, a friend of mine had his exhibition at Gallery Concept 21 for a week. I went to see it in kimono.


His signature style of art is these beautiful cherry blossoms.


Small petals painted with layers and different pigments made from crushed minerals.
It is always fascinating to see details of his painting.


I wanted to wear this kimono before the weather gets too warm for it. 
My newest kimono I bought around the end of last year. 


Pansies in reversed colors.


And I changed the inner collar to the right one with wild flowers printed in light lavender base.


I don't know which flower this is.... but I paired this one to match the color of the kimono.




Hairdo of the day.



He has one exhibition in every 6 months. Last time was in last October and I went to see it also. He knows I love kimono and he was there in kimono when I went to see him last time. 
So in return, I wanted to show myself in kimono this time.

He and his wife were very happy to see my kimono look matches the atmosphere of his art. So she took some photos of me looking at them.


One of my dreams is to have one piece of his art hanging on the wall of my place.

I heard the theme of his art will be totally different at his next exhibition. So I'm so excited to see the new style of his creation.
