Lovely Copper Sculpture Of Floral Kimono Entitled "Wafuku" (Japanese Traditional Clothing) By Jaclyn

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!

Michihiko Kakazu (National Theater Okinawa), Ichiko Yonamine (Okinawa Prefectural Museum and Art Museum), Toshiaki Hagio (Cultural Assets Division of the Okinawa Prefectural Board of Education), Masayuki Dana (Okinawa Predectural Board of Education), and translators field questions during a symposium for Bingata! Only in Okinawa. Nov. 5, 2016-Jan. 30, 2017. The Textile Museum, Washington, DC. Sponsored by the Okinawa Prefectural Government. Many of the items are national treasures and have never been seen outside of Japan. #bingata #kimono #kimonos #okinawa #ryukyu #japanesetextiles

Happy New Year! 🎉✨🐔💕 I love his cranky face. I call it my angry chicken tea bowl. Like he was disgruntled that someone dare to paint his portrait. Lol

How adorable is this! 💕

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 ^^)

I want one!! 💖

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

Three little piggies celebrating the Year of the Boar. 🐖💕🍵
