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

Hubby and I at the opening of The Mansion at Strathmore exhibit Timeless Transformation, Kimono, Prints & Textiles.

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!

Every time I see a photo of this kimono I want it more and more!! 👘💕😍

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

Just a trivia note. The plaid on that jacket belongs to my Clan Hamilton. 😄 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

This is the lovely kimono that I am so proud to own! A few years back, Umeno okiya was selling a few of their pieces, and I was so privileged to be able to purchase this. I feel like I was able to contribute in my small way to the purchase of new hikizuri for the okiya. 💕👘 To have a piece that belonged to the beautiful and talented ladies at Umeno is beyond perfect. 😍🙏🏼
