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.

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.

Time for a garden reset. With the nights and early mornings turning cooler, we only have a short window to get the soil ready for your autumn veggies. By the way, the calendula are beginning to bloom. #kominka #slowlifejapan #over40vlogs

Our garden buffet is open.
One bite only! Honestly, is finishing a whole loquat too much to ask for?

The rainy season has started and it should rain ☔ for a week straight. Should give me the time I need to finish my yukata class homework and get in a few more pages of "I Capture the Castle". How do you like to pass the time when you can't go out? #therainyseason

I tried dyeing my last silk scarf with the goldenrods growing out back. I love how the color changes like magic when added to the mordant liquid. #naturaldye
秋に咲く黄色い花、セイタカアワダチソウでスカーフを染めてみました。
媒染液にひたした瞬間、一気に色が変わる様子はまるで魔法みたい。
思わず「おぉ〜」と声が出てしまうくらい、見ていて楽しいです🎶
