The heavy snowfall of 2024 has passed.
This is Sakemaru.
A real heavy snowfall!
Heavy snowfall has caused damage across Japan.
Just last month I was complaining about how hot it was... (sweat)
We've suddenly entered the depths of winter.
As for me...
It will increase as the end of the year approaches.
I've been to a variety of events.
At the "Awabook Market" held in Boso in mid-November,
I also set up a stall and bought a variety of used books. 
I also got a second-hand book that looks like a textbook on "Mingei," which I've been interested in recently.
I will continue to study. 
Now, it's the gift-giving season known as Christmas .
Introducing the perfect items.
Here it is!
The color scheme is wonderfully Christmas-like,
Front-opening sweat jacket! 
This shape,
In fact, this is a masterpiece that was also included in the autumn/winter lineup last year. 
It will be available in two colors: Viridian Green and Honey Mustard.
The delivery date was delayed again and again,
The delivery date was originally scheduled for September, but it ended up being February of the following year (lol).
However, they sold out in no time.
In response to requests from customers for additional production,
It has been re-debuted in a new color.
This time with olive drab... 
Available in two colors: red. 
It's a truly Christmas-like color scheme.
The original is a vintage item like this. 
1930s sweat jacket.
It's a pretty rare item,
This is an item that is sure to fetch six figures in vintage shops these days.
It's a fairly old pattern, with a stand collar even though it's a cut-and-sew item. 
(This one is from a different vintage.)
In this way, the top collar and the collar stand are integrated.
Because it is a stretchy material,
This method gives the collar the most stability.
Therefore, we have inherited the same manufacturing method for Dry Bones. 
The material is the same as last time, 26 count/2 count.
Ultra-tough sweatshirt (fleece) fabric. 
Plus the buttons...
Two-hole buttons with a striking engraved pattern.
Truly classic.
I bought mustard during my last delivery.
Great as an inner layer in the middle of winter,
It was a great outer layer until the summer.
Pair it with a striped or printed T-shirt underneath.
It can be worn in a wide variety of ways.
It is very useful.
I want red too.
Delivery was quicker than last time,
I'm hooked on the perfect gift-giving season.
Everyone please hurry!
And the continuation of the story from the beginning.
I bought a folk art textbook,
I haven't read the contents yet.
But last week,
The last Heiwajima Antique Market of the year was here, so I went shopping.
And then we met. 
A Mashiko ware one-mouth bowl.
The pattern looks a bit like slipware.
probably,
From British people's arts activist Bernard Leach:
It must have been the work of those who received the teachings.
Recently, this kind of tableware has been sold in famous select shops in Tokyo,
It has gained a certain fan base.
Personally, I really like it because it makes food look great.
I got it before New Year's,
I would like to serve some New Year's dishes.
See you later!
