Recently, this obi keeps popping up on ads, and I was pretty sure I already owned it. And, yep, the earliest photo I can find at the moment is 2017-9-24.

9/14 MON
And then I decided to compare the advice in Tōsei Fūzoku Tsū text, to Ihara Saikaku's description in his A Woman Addicted to Love 好色一代女






9/12 SAT
I'm in a study group for reading "hentai-gana" (Edo period Japanese script writing) and we are reading Tōsei Fūzoku Tsū which is an Edo period sharebon about how to dress as a sophisticate for going to the pleasure quarters. Here is one page of my notes concerning the proper (straw) zōri to wear.




8/30 SUN
And finished one essay of four (three more to go...)




8/27 THU
White shijira-ori, hanhaba obi, ro 絽 haori



8/23 Sun
I also wrote a short ghost tale....




8/17 MON
Too lazy to wear a Nagoya obi, but in the end did do a similar kimono coordinate

黒田清輝の《湖畔》1897年(明治30) 東京国立博物館蔵
