Luxury Kimono Exhibition by Erizen

The Erizen (luxury kimono draper) Exhibition was held at HAPPO-EN in Meguro last month. I wore a kimono called 'Oshima Tsumugi' with a pine needle pattern for the first time in a long time. I chose an obi made by turpentine soot that was pine smoke. My last name, Hiramatsu, has the Japanese word for pine in it. In Japanes, pine is pronounced ‘mats’. Three pines together! So I was very glad. Thank you, Erizen!!!

先月、目黒の八芳園でゑり善さんの展示会がありました。久しぶりに松葉の柄の大島紬に袖をとおし、帯は松煙染め、私の名字は平松なので、松が三つ揃ってなんだかおめでたい気分に。素敵なランチもごちそうになりました。ゑり善さん、いつもありがとうございます。
