Summer Meetups 2025
Didn't get a chance to go to many meetups this summer, however we did do a little picnic in the park and I attended a local summer festival to participate in their fashion show. For the picnic, I paired this summer weave houmongi with herons by a stream (HK2022.01, silk, b.1950?) with one of my favourite neutral hakata-ori obi in cream (NO2020.09, silk, a. 1950).
For the festival, I went with a sunflower yukata (YK2020.02, cotton, a. 1950) and this fun plaid nagoya obi (NO2020.29, synthetic, a.1950). My little drawstring bag is a woodblock print of goldfish from the Tokyo National Museum and is so cute to add for a festival.
