::Purple Tint::

日本語ver. → こちら

After my favorite Japanese artist Hiromitsu Kato's passing, his family and friends started a project team to spread his beautiful art pieces with strong messages to the world. 
From March 18th to 29th, they are having the exhibition at FEI Art Museum Yokohama, which he booked himself two years ago. 
On last Friday, they had the opening ceremony for the guests who supported the exhibition and the publication of his first art books. My friend, Yukari, and I attended it to support the project team.


With Hiromitsu-san's wife, Tomoko-san, and Yukari.


There were some pieces that I'd never seen before. 


The tools he used for his creation.


One of my favorites. 

I visited his exhibitions in kimono a couple of times before.
We were supposed to be receptionists at the ceremony so I thought he'd happy to see us in kimono there.


Springy mimosa.


Closer look of the motif. 


Checkered in silver and grey.
I tried not to add too many colors so that I won't be too flashy in front of the art pieces.


Collar in light pink.


Added some purple tints in the total look.







Yukari was in a beautiful Oshima kimono.
Matching perfectly with the lotuses. 


I'm so thankful for all the supporters and the project team who made the exhibition and publication of art books happen. 
It is almost one year since his passing, and I believe he's happy that his message has been delivered to whoever visited the exhibition through his family and friends. 
I definitely want his art to be noticed a lot more throughout the world.
Please take a look at his beautiful works with strong messages when you have a chance★

::Mish Mash::

The weather turned very springy during day time recently. 
Last Saturday was very warm and we took a long walk around the city. 


Tokyo Bricks★


It was nice and warm so we went to the open-air community space called "commune" in Omotesando.


Late lunch we got this time.
They used to serve alcohol before but there wasn't any alcohols sold this time. Small fashion shops opened around the main hall and the place looked so much different from the last time I went there. 



Simple pattern and arabesque in off-white.


Border + Leopard


Grass flowers on the collar.


Ring-ring★



As an obiage, I used vonschwanenflugelpupke's scarf♪


TOTAL LOOK


Because of the big late lunch, we didn't have any room for dinner.
So we went to a sake bar that was opened three months ago and tried some glasses of sake. It is very fun to look for my favorite one. 


I had the sparkling sake on the left and the citrus flavored sake on the right. 
"Fonia Sorra" tasted like white wine and definitely goes well with Italian or French cuisine.
