Just a quick post to wish anyone celebrating Christmas today a wonderful holiday. If you’re not celebrating Christmas, I hope you had a wonderful holiday whenever and whatever it was, and that you have a great weekend! That lovely goof in my tree is my beloved Vinnie. He’s the only decoration we need!
I was a lucky duck and got a wonderful lobster tsuke-obi and some beautiful watercolour prints of traditional Kumadori makeup that I will be sharing soon. I actually have several gorgeous Japanese pieces of artwork I’ve received recently that I’ve been meaning to post – perhaps I’ll do an entry about them now that I finally have a bit of time off.
Did you get any wonderful kimono or related items as gifts this year? If so, what did you get! Please share in the comments

Thanks! I’ve got a funky non-standard outfit planned with it, but I’ve got a horrible flu right now. I’m hoping to get dressed before the end of the week, if I’m feeling better.
Is that a cat in your tree? Happy holidays to you too! You survived the last few days at work?
My gifts weren’t kimono-related, but I did receive my purchases from dear Ryujiro-san. Unfortunately he forgot the put in the tatoshi… Oh well, we’ll see how he’s going to solve that
Enjoy the next few days and all the best for New Year’s!
Thank you, Anne. I did survive, but not without drama. Our store was broken into on the night of the 23rd – the thief (thieves? we don’t know) threw a rock through our glass door and emptied the cash register. That was pretty upsetting. That same day I also fell off a stepstool while helping a customer. But in the end, it’s all over!
That is indeed my cat in the tree. He is a pest, but I love him anyway.
I hope you get your tatoshi soon, and I can’t wait to see your new items being worn!
