Hello from Wet Tokyo!

As museums in Tokyo have started welcoming guests to their exhibition, I recently had a chance to visit the special exhibition of "KIMONO - Fashion Identities" held at the Tokyo National Museum. This exhibition traces the kimono from its inception some eight hundred years ago to its role today as a symbol of Japanese culture with increasing sway on the contemporary fashion scene. The exhibition pieces were just all breathtaking and beyond my expectation.
My personal favorite was Nishijin Haori (warrior outer robe) of Nobunaga Oda, one of the historical legends.
                                                                    
Enjoy shopping with BARRIQUE TOKYO!

こんにちは。

新型コロナで延期されてた「きもの展」に上野の東京国立博物館に行ってきました。鎌倉時代から今に至る着物の通史として、興味深く、心待ちにしてました。日本の美的感覚を体現するきもの。染・刺繍・金銀の摺箔（すりはく）などで模様を表し、それは繊細で気の遠くなるような手作業に感動とため息の連続・・・

そうそう織田信長の陣羽織がとてもカッコ良かった。
