「鎌倉 - 穴場 - 日帰り旅行」Kamakura - off the beaten track
Thinking to visit Japan in the summer time? We introduce you some nice beach and tourist spots not so far from Tokyo. Last Summer I visited Kamakura again after many years. Since I already saw the main tourist attractions various times (big Buddha statue, large Shrine..) this time, seeing uncrowded and not as familiar locations was my goal. <> みなさん、いかがお過ごしですか?今年の夏は鎌倉を訪れました。 鎌倉の大仏や鶴岡八幡宮をはじめとする神社は一通り見たことがある(鳩サブレも大好きです)ので、穴場を探しに行ってみました。日本人の皆さんには、馴染みがありすぎて、穴場でもなんでもないと怒られそうです(すんまそん!古!)。 For those of... -
「夏の思い出 2018」Summer throwback - Bon dance, Awa odori and Yukata
The trees start changing their colours. A fresh breeze makes you want to wrap yourself in a cosy jacket. It’s officially sweater weather. Autumn has arrived. 紅葉が始まりましたね。風も肌寒くなりジャケットがほしい今日この頃です。先日まで台風で大変でしたが、セーターの時期になったといっていいのではないでしょうか?皆さんはいかがお過ごしですか?

「六本木ヒルズ春まつり」Roppongi Spring Festival 2018
Last weekend (7th and 8th of April, 2018) I participated the spring festival or “Haru Matsuri” at Roppongi Hills in Tokyo. 2018年4月7及び8日と六本木ヒルズさんの春祭りに参加させてもらいました! 六本木ヒルズの春まつりとは、六本木ヒルズ自治会、森ビル株式会社主催で六本木ヒルズアリーナで毎年行われます。今年は六本木ヒルズさんの15周年でしたよ! Black lace kimono on red juban for a modern look. 黒レース着物で襦袢の色も見せる楽しさ。 Although the Bon dance in summer is well known, the spring festival is still not as famous yet. Organized by the Roppongi hills local community group and the Ropppngi Hills... -
「斉藤上太郎コレクション」JOTARO SAITO 2018 A/W
On Wednesday I went to see the new collection of kimono designer JOTARO SAITO at the Tokyo Fashion Week. 水曜日(2018年3月21日)に、東京ファッションウィークにて、着物デザイナーのJOTARO SAITO(斉藤上太郎)さんの新作発表を訪問しました。 Although the cherry blossoms started blooming and we had 22°C a couple of days back, on the day of the collection we had snow and heavy rain at only 2°C!! What are the chances? Haha! So instead of a silk kimono I had... -
「フエルサブルータ」FUERZA BRUTA TOKYO
So there was this Japanesque show I had seen across my social media which looked pretty fun, yet I wasn’t sure if the ticket price was really worth it. I am talking about FUERZA BRUTA – an international show which actually changes its looks and concept based on its host country. 2 days after I checked the website and contemplated (it was almost creepy)...
