A Different Light

Last month friends and I visit Hayama which is a beautiful seacoast town facing the Pacific Ocean. It's near one of the most famous tourist areas, Kamakura. The surrounding area has many good restaurants and Cafes. I'm not a person who likes to read Kinfolk magazine though. But I think this is a kind of Kinfolk believer's place.

Have a lovely weekend! x

August

 Bye bye August. 

You suddenly disappear and leave me alone.

Grunge'n' Art

Recently I've been enjoy reading Grunge'n' Art magazine's blog and Instagram. Lia & Zebra create many very beautiful images. I'm a big girl now not a teenager. But I remember the fragile, dark and obscure feeling in youth.

Now we can order their zines on the web or purchase them at some Japanese book shops. Please check. x
Lia & Zebra, Thanks for your cutest letter. x

Cruise Control / Say

My fave band IS TROPICAL already released the second part of their 3rd album 'Black Anything', 'Cruise Control/Say' via Axis Mundi Records. I embroidered the lyric from 'Say' on my Uniqlo sweatshirt. Because the words are so kawaii and funny. For me non English speaking person, it is hard to understand the words they sing without a lyric sheet. But this youtube video helps me.

Kirstie's move is lovely ♡

Kamakura, Flower, and Cat

In most of Japan, the rainy season lasts from the beginning of June to July, it is moisture and sweat. Most people might think this sucks. My friend Yumiko and I visited Kamakura to stay away from that kind of feeling. Kamakura is situated in Kanagawa prefecture, less than an hour of Tokyo. It's near my town. Sometimes called the Kyoto of Eastern Japan, Kamakura has lots of temples, shrines and some beaches. It's a small city but a very popular tourist place.

At Meigetsu-in Temple, the blue season comes in June. Beautiful flowers in full bloom cover the whole hillside. But it's so crowded like hell this season. That's why this is not my most recommend spot.

   Myohon-ji temple, I guess there are some friendly cats lurking here!!

Beautiful unknown flowers are everywhere. I need a flower identification APP.

Kakigori is a kind of a shaved ice dessert covered with sweet syrup. It's a sign of Summer.

Bye-Bye until autumn!

Blue

The English film maker Derek Jarman created the garden at Dungeness. It's so epic, not an usual garden that we can imagine ... kinda like holy place like his films. Someday I hope to own a little garden. The very small one is fine.

If you're reading this .... It's my birthday!

I'm quite lucky to have my friends. Thank you for your support all time. BBs
