Hubby and I at the opening of The Mansion at Strathmore exhibit Timeless Transformation, Kimono, Prints & Textiles.
My New Years matcha just arrived from Japan with a cute little graphic for the Year of the Dog. It is wakamatsu-no-mukashi which is one of my favorite teas from Ippodo Tea. They have stores in Kyoto, Tokyo, and New York. Canβt wait to have a bowl. πΆπ΅π
Kettle is on the stove. Just waiting for the water to boil. #tea #chawan #matcha #natsume #chashaku #teabowl
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 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.
It was Washington, DC Sakura Matsuri weekend and brother was it hot! Had to ditch the lined kimono and break out an unlined, tsumugi kimono with large woven flowers. πΈ Paired it with an olive-green han-eri and heko obi. The charm is a stuffed chirman bunny. π°
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

Happy New Year! πβ¨ππ 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
