It’s truly an honor to know @tiffanyrossdaleofficial. She’s turning her dreams into reality while giving a voice, inspiration, and hope to minorities across Japan. Watching her documentary #WeExist at the Shibuya Diversity Film Festival was such a proud and moving moment.

This month’s antique market haul. Two Higasa, three Kimono tanmono, a Tenugui, a serving dish. And a heko obi that looks like a Kaku Obi!
I go consistently each month that vendors have started bringing items they think I would like.

In Kawagoe today. Found a traditional footwear shop. The owner was nice and was willing to make geta on the spot for my monster feet and I could choose the cord colours.
