5歳年下の日本人夫との日常生活🏡

今日は40代からの若返り料理を作りながら、年下の旦那さんとの暮らしや、新婚生活の思い出、そして歯の健康について語ります。

アメリカで育ったハーフの私が、
日本で暮らして15年。
日々感じる日米の違いや、
和食を作り続けてくれた母への感謝...
台所仕事をしながら、いろんなことを考えます。

肌の色が少し日本人とは違うので、
マスクの季節は“海外ファンデの節約期間”だと思ってしまいます。(笑)
とはいえ、インフルには気をつけないとですね。😷🍃

Today's kimono ensemble 🍂

Deep indigo tsumugi paired with a striking vermillion obi.
As autumn deepens, the gentle texture of silk feels perfect for the season.

今日の装い🍂

深い藍色の紬に、差し色の朱赤帯を合わせて。
秋めいてきたこの頃、正絹のしっとりとした質感が心地よい季節。

🍂 Autumn in the Japanese countryside: harvesting persimmons for hoshigaki, cooking chestnut rice in my old farmhouse, then escaping to the sea and a Kuniyoshi cat exhibition
The kind of slow day that feels like a warm drink on a cold morning ☕

今日はどこにも行かない、ただ家事をする一日。赤い八掛けはちょっとレトロかな?次は紺か緑に挑戦してみようかと。こんな日の着物が、実は一番好きだったりする。

New vlog is up! 🍂
Made persimmon jam from our garden harvest (so many this year!), visited a historic site in kimono, and reflected on life in rural Japan. Also: why my husband filming me was both helpful AND problematic 😅

Persimmons ripening under a pale autumn sky, chestnut rice, followed with a bit of Utagawa Kuniyoshi.

A slow, reflective autumn in the Japanese countryside 🍂👘🐈‍⬛

I am loving this Obijime. When she reached out and began to touch my Obijime, I thought it was just to straighten it, but little I know she was going to tie this lovely knot.

I bid on eight old kimono at an online auction — $30 total.
I planned to take them apart for patchwork obi… until I realized some were still wearable.

I’ve been learning wasai (traditional Japanese sewing) and just finished making kimono waist straps. Simple, but deeply satisfying.
Do you prefer hand sewing or machine sewing?

I would pay NHK, but I don't have a TV and don't watch it. Simple really.

A small step in my sewing journey—made my own kimono waist strap (koshihimo).
It’s the little things that make kimono come together ✨

Checked the chestnut tree by our 100-year-old Japanese house today. Still waiting for them to fall… autumn is patient here. 🌰🍁 #KominkaLife #Japan

A samurai garden, a lotus pond, and the quiet hills of Shimonoseki.
Chōfuteien is an Edo-period mansion once home to the Mori clan’s chief retainer.
