Nawacho-san's products
Hello from Chilly Tokyo!
Christmas is just around the corner; we are likely to spend a different Christmas and New Year holidays this year.
As a professional stylist, I occasionally have opportunities to do Japanese kimono styling for photo and commercial shootings; and did one last week.
For this occasion, I have selected a beautiful Okinawa's tradicional kimono called Benigata Kimono with a choice of Okinawa's traditional Bingata Obi designed by Nawacho-san, a texitle designer of Japanese towels sold at our shop.
This light-blue kimono perfectly matches with the Obi with unique coloring and texitled. The pattern of the Obi is a plant called shell ginger, which many Okinawans love and use it for aromatic products such as tea and lotions.
We shall be able to introduce more of Nawacho-san's products at our shop starting next year. We will keep you posted.
May your rest of 2020 be happy and healthy; looking forward to seeing you at our shop in 2021 as well.
Best Wishes!

12月も半分近くになって、気忙しくなってきます。
今年は、いつもと違うクリスマス、年末年始を過ごすことになりそうです。
先日、CM撮影があり着物のスタイリングを致しました。
水色の色無地に沖縄の紅型帯を合わせて・・・紅型の帯は、縄チョウさん作。(SHOPの和手ぬぐいの作家さん)です。伝統的な紅型を縄さんの独特の色づかいとテキスタイルで、センス抜群の帯。
素敵にスタイリングさせていただきました。
そして、この帯の柄は。
沖縄で愛される爽やかな香りの「月桃」(ゲットウ)だそうです。
アロマやお茶、化粧水などいろんな製品に活用されてるそうですよ。
縄さんの作品も少しづつショップにご紹介できると思いますので、その都度、お知らせいたしますね。
