A Luxurious Obi (kimono belt) From A Friend Of A Friend


Hello everyone! I hope you are fine in the beginning of June! Today's blog is about a memento from a friend of a friend. The memento is this luxurious obi (kimono belt). The friend of mine told me, "This obi is from F chan, and she quickly ordered luxury kimono or obi whenever she really loved them! She was so cool!"

みなさま、こんにちは。いつの間にか6月ですね!さて、本日は先輩のお友達の大切な形見の豪華な帯を、いつもの単衣の紬の着物に合わせてみました。先輩に教えてもらった、この帯を誂えたFちゃんはとても潔い女性なんです。展示会で気に入った着物や帯は迷わず、「これ、いただくわ!」と即決。帯からその時の様子が浮かんできます。










F chan's obi came to my home about a year ago, and it reminds me of F chan even though we have never seen. The obi is great and special, so I couldn't decide how to style with it, and I have been looking at it in wonder long time. At last, I thought about a better outfit and decide the day to go to Meguro sky garden with my son! I wrapped the obi talking to F chan's obi. When I put the obi on a sofa, I said to the obi, "Please wait here." When I was wrapping it, I asked her inside the obi, " Is it right?" The obi is really light and soft. It makes me feel luxurious...However an accident happed! A basting thread of a kimono got caught in a zipper of a bag. I hadn't noticed the thread even though I wear the kimono every year. Anyway, the garden is so beautiful! It takes me only 30 minutes on foot. I felt like that F chan also loved the garden! If you come to Tokyo, you should visit the garden<3

約一年前に、Fちゃんの豪華な帯が私のもとに・・・、そして、この帯を見る度に一度も会ったことのないFちゃんの気配を感じます。あまりにも荘厳な帯ですので一年間、コーディネイトが決まらず眺めてうっとりしておりました。先週のことです。ついにFちゃんの帯を締めてお出かけする日が決まりました。帯をたとう紙から出して傍に置く時に、「Fちゃん、ちょっとここでお待ちくださいね」と話かけ、「Fちゃん、こんな感じでいいですか」と尋ねながら帯を締めました。初めて締めたこの帯の、とても柔らかな締めやすさ。優雅な気分でお出かけすると、なんと途中でハプニングが。着物のしつけ糸がバッグにひっかかってしまいました。毎年着ている着物なのに、まだしつけ糸が残っていたなんて!気を取り直して、家から徒歩30分の目黒天空庭園へ初めて行きました。秘密にしたいくらい素敵な場所でしたので、Fちゃんも喜んでくれているのを感じました。みなさもこの庭園に行かれたことはありますか?それでは、来週もお楽しみに♡

  10. Hello Akiko! How you doing?!

    Oooh I didn't know that this was the meaning of a memento! Really clever and lovely! I love how you can find different types of obi's and that there is a luxurious version. I imagine a lot of hard work and craftmanship is involved to create a piece like this!

    You made a really interesting styling with the bag and with the tiny but shiny earrings! It is one of your most elegant looks *_*

    All the best!
