sushi-go-round

My first dining out in Kyoto was here.

All computerized sushi place, and most of them were 100 yen, $1 for a plate.  And they are actually very good.  

You order sushi through touch-screen system, and your sushi comes to your seats on the conveyor-belt.  

We paid only $18 for two of us.  No need to tip at everywhere in Japan.

I'm sure I was the most excited customer in this restaurant.

tokyo!

After 13 hours of flight, I'm here in Tokyo.  

new jewelry

Just updated new collections.  I hope you will enjoy them!

Yayoi Forest Collections

for mom

She told me once how it was to be in the mother's womb.
When my friend's daughter, Miyu was three I asked her if she still remembered about it and she said "yes."
She said it was very warm there, she was floating, and then she pointed a beige crayon saying the place was this color.
I think of cosmos when I see a pregnant woman.  
There is a tiny universe in her womb.
I made this necklace thinking of my friend's (Miyu's mother) saying "It was one of the happiest time in my life to carry her inside of my belly.  I miss my big belly so much."

cat in the basement

Whenever I see a cat looking outside from a window of a house or from the basement of a restaurant, I feel like I should speak something to a cat.

my previous life as a kitty

Every April Fool's Day, my sister play harmless (I hope) jokes.  And I fall for it every year.


One time, she called me at night and said "You have to check this out now, there is the biggest shooting star in the history!"


I ran out from my apartment barefoot.  I was saying to my sister, "I still can't find the shooting star.  Damn, I haven't watched TV for a while, I didn't know such a big astronomical phenomenon until now!"


Every year, I forget that today is the April Fool's Day.
Because my sister is the only one who still do jokes on that day.


She emailed me today saying "I went to see a psychic and she told me you were hello-kitty in your previous life."
For the first time, I found that today was April Fool's Day before I fell for it (who would?).
It was the easiest one ever!

new spring/summer hat

This summer, I'm not going to buy too many outfits but I will add some important accessories to refresh my style.
My friend Tsuyumi has a beautiful hat line, and I'll wear this dark blue hemp hat of hers everyday!


I really want many people to try her hats because her hat makes anyone's head shape look perfect instantly.


You can see her beautiful new collections here.
They are all handmade in New York by herself, just like my jewelry line.
