brooch

it is nice to visit keibunsha anytime.
they have some lovely new items.

AND don't forget to enter hiki's kamifusen giveaway
for some delightful paper balloon fun!


what do you call these in english?
a balancing object
both above by gold and silver smith seiko ohara
(i am not 100% sure of that name translation though, names being hard)

glass pasta plate

earrings


soy sauce dispenser

blown pyrex glass teapot

lacquer soup bowl


is nice to see hair ornaments (kanzashi) popping up.
i like these understated bent and beaded ones.
kanzashi are traditionally worn in kyoto by the maiko.
