This is how I want to be.
Big hair, fragile slender body and lots of colors.

Thenibushiki-juban can be a jacket and a skirt as well?
The size is not baggy like modern juban, so it actually fits pretty well.
Sorry to be in public without makeup…
With one of my favorite haori: I love tachibana motifs!!
I don’t think people won’t be happy about me being outside in juban, but the color ensemble is lovely. I love the color of antique kimono.
The haori is also from Hyotan-ya in Osaka.

I made nibushiki-juban from my vintage beautiful silk juban by myself.
I bought this juban from Hyotan-ya, which is an antique/vintage kimono store in Osaka (I’m sad that the store is not open right now, hopefully the owner will start his business again soon!), almost 10 years ago… !!
This is actually my first juban, but it is difficult to wear antique kimono because they are a little too small, or the fabric is worn out and if you pull the fabric too hard, it would break off.
Anyway, I didn’t wan’t to ruin it, and had kept it like a treasure for a long time. But now I’m confident enough to wear them and it is actually in a very good condition than I thought.
But the problem was, as usual, it was short. So I decided to make nibushiki-juban out of it.
I always wear nibushiki-juban, because it is easy to wear, easy to shape the emon nicely.
First, cut it in 2 pieces! Be bold and just cut it!!
It’s better to have the edge a little bit longer so you can sew it up.
Like this.
The bottom part. I searched and referred on the Internet and found some nice instructions to make juban.
色のあるくらし ←The blog has a lot of recipe to make kimono stuff!! Very cool ;)
I love anqitue/vintage kimono, but the size had been always an issue, but now juban, I will be able to buy anything with this technique. It is so exiting!!

After that, we went to a Chinese restaurant, House of Chang in Cambridge. I forgot to take pictures but it was very decent. They have dim sum lunch for weekends and we have to go back again!
帰りはケンブリッジにある中華屋さんでディナ、写真すっかり取り忘れましたが中々本格で美味しかったです。エビの炒め物はセロリが多すぎてちょっとあれでしたけど。

Today’s outfit, summer iromuji azuki kimono.
Actually it was the first time to wear this one, and it was shorter than I thought. It is no problem but I wore it a little bit shorter than usually I do by mistake, I prefer the bottom line about to touch on the floor.
I think I forgot to how to tie the obi, always a little bit too loose and showing the datejime!! I have to be careful with this issue.
今日の装い、夏着物小豆色無地。
実はこの着物を着るの初めてだったのですが、広げてみると思ったより短かった。それは特に問題ではないけど、いつもより短めに着付けてしまったのが。。。ちょっと残念。裾は床スレスレぐらいが好きです。帯は久しぶりに一本締め笑 兵児帯でひらひら結び。
しかし、ちょっとの間に帯の締め方を忘れたっぽい。最近よく着るけど、一日の最後ぐらいになると、帯が緩んでしゃーないっす。早く感覚を取り戻さねば。。。もっとギュッとね！！ #Nozomy #望 #望Nozomy #kimono #着物 #和服 #夏着物 #小豆色

We had a tea ceremony at Boston common today. It was very lovely to be outside, it was kind of warm today again but it was very comfortable under the shade and by the water.
Anthony is learning Japanese tea ceremony, and conducted us a very nice one. I always love the creamy fresh matcha and I have a good time with those nice people.
ボストンコモンでお茶会（ごっこ）をしました。まだ日中は暑いですが、水辺の木陰に座っていると、風が気持ちの良い午後でした。
アンソニーさんはお茶をお勉強されています、そして私たちド素人に本格的な茶席を設けて下さいました。外国の方から本国の事を学ぶというのは、なんとも面白い経験。クリーミィな抹茶、美味しいですよね。素敵な人たちを楽しい時間を過ごせて良かったです^^ #bostncommon #teaceremony #matcha #boston #ボストンコモン #お茶席 #お茶会 #抹茶 #ボストン #kimono #japaneseculture #着物 #きもの #和服 #日本文化

Today’s outfit, summer bamboo kimono which I bought in Okinawa.
Only one mistake was that I didn’t do obijime or obiage to hold the bow up on my back. I took a bus and people bumped to my obi when they get on/off the bus, and it was limply hanging on my back after a while… Good lesson.
今日の装い、夏きもの竹、沖縄で買ったものです。
帯締めか帯揚げをして後ろの結びを固定するようにすればよかったというのが唯一の後悔。バスに乗ったのですが、結構込んでいて、人が乗り降りするときに後ろに当たって、しばらくしたらダラーンとしてしまいました。沖縄では車移動が多かったので、教訓です。
