A masterpiece that captures plants in a new light.
I have had to buy more things since I moved in. Furniture such as tables, chairs, etc. , lighting, rugs, etc. . And surprisingly, I needed a lot of plants. . but not for the garden, but for indoors. If you think you don't need any plants, try living in a house. So, I have been buying more plants from time to time, but to be honest, I am not a diligent gardener, so the easier they are to take care of, the better. But I'm not a regular gardener, so I prefer to keep things simple and easy to care for. That's when I remembered this "Landscapers" brand. Mr. and Mrs. Hanawa of HIROKU, the company behind this brand, live near our house and we see each other from time to time. Their products are a new dimension of green products that exquisitely combine fashionable sensibilities with interior aesthetic sensibilities, and they are just beautiful and look great. This series consists of natural dried flowers arranged in glass jars, filled with oil, corked, and then sealed with sealing wax. Wouldn't it be nice to put a few of them together?

Time to go back .
When we decided to move, the first thing we started looking for was a sofa. When I moved into the house I had decided to make my final home, I had decided to buy something that would fit the space, so until then, I had been content to settle for something that was, I am sorry to say, adequate. So I started researching, and the more I looked at different sofas, the more I realized how well-balanced Acme Furniture's sofas are. By balance, I mean good workmanship, fashion, and price. I was not interested in designer sofas, and I wanted something from a Japanese brand, but in the end, I couldn't find anything better than this, and I ended up buying a sofa from Acme Furniture. However, this is not the sofa I bought (tears). This "Lakewood Sofa" is a new product, so it has just been released. Oh, I wish it would have been released a little earlier, I wet my pillow every night.

A piece of clothing that you want to throw on roughly.
Big silhouettes have been in vogue for quite some time now. Well, to be honest, I am wondering if it will end soon. . Because, as a Hobbit, there are very few items that fit me perfectly. They are big, in general . What's the point of everyone trying to become a "Vetements"? I'm thinking to myself, "Why does everyone want to be a Vetements? It was in the midst of this disappointment that I found this cardigan from the Vinyl Archive. It's not a big silhouette, but it's a more modern form, with shoulders that are much more sloped. Without thinking about it, I lightly put it on my body and found, to my surprise, that even I could wear it. The pattern is exquisite and different from the usual ones on the market. And even though it is multi-colored, it is not gaudy and has a calm mood. This is the work of a master craftsman.

Put it on the front with dignity.
There is probably no other industry in which trends change as rapidly as the bag industry. The "sacoche" boom, which was raging like a storm just a few years ago, has completely subsided. The current trend seems to be the waist pouch. Speaking of waist pouches, they have been a shady player in the bag world for a long time, since their first boom a few decades ago. Now that they have finally seen the light of day, many brands are making them all at once. Among them, I was drawn to Patterson, a skate brand from New Jersey, U.S.A., which started in 2015, and its greatest appeal is its exquisite looseness. The phrase "slapdash and cool" has become a common expression these days, and Patterson is taking that vibe and twisting it even further, giving it a contemporary flavor.

When I tell people that I am going to participate in a 160-kilometer race, many people's eyes start to glaze over. Among these long trail races, the Ultra-Trail Mount Fuji (UTMF) is one of the best in Japan, and it will be my first 100-mile race. In order to complete the race, I am planning to use Salomon's S/LAB SENSE ULTRA 2, co-developed with the world's best ultrarunner, Francois Denne, as my partner for the tremendous distance of 160 kilometers. The S/LAB SENSE ULTRA 2 is Salomon's top-range "S/LAB," but with a voluminous midsole for a stable run. The midsole is also designed to support my running at the level of an ordinary runner. Above all, the liner is very comfortable. The feeling of the shoes absorbing your feet the moment you put them in is exceptional.

An authentic rain shell that can be used in town.
. I am fishing around for various gear in preparation for UTMF. In order to be in the best condition for the day of the UTMF, it is important to choose gear that will prepare me not only for my own condition, but also for changes in temperature and weather conditions. I am particularly interested in The North Face's Hyperair GTX Hoody. The new "Shake Dry" material, which is a semi-permanent waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane with a double-layer structure without lamination, boasts excellent water repellency and moisture permeability, and is also lightweight. It is made with a three-dimensional pattern that can be woven with a 10-liter sack on the back, reducing abrasion resistance to a minimum. The ventilation zippers on the front allow direct access to the zack, which is also attractive. The high level of design quality that functions well for town use is as expected of "The North Face.

A new option for your mountain companion.
There is a brand that is slowly increasing its presence in the trail running scene. It is the world's leading sports company "adidas. In recent years, the brand has been steadily increasing its popularity at the field level, developing apparel, shoes, and packs for trail running and climbing under the "TERREX" label, as well as participating in various races. Among these, I am personally interested in these shoes. They are equipped with a Boa closure system that allows for smooth on/off, and the coloring is fearless, with white as a base color, which is not often seen in trail shoes. The stylish design, which can only be achieved by a sports company, also makes a good impression. . We hope you will choose these shoes as a new option for your mountain activities.

The moment when shock turns to joy.
Not only in clothing, but now that we are inundated with similar things, it has become difficult to search for new discoveries and experiences. Conversely, perhaps we have become more discerning individuals and have entered an age in which we only acquire (experience) what we truly want and what we are satisfied with. It was in these chaotic times that Porter Classic and Showa Nishikawa spent three years developing the "Newton" bag. The bag, which uses "muatsu," a long-selling item from bedding manufacturer Showa Nishikawa, as a shoulder strap, is simply amazing. Thanks to ergonomic weight-distribution technology, you can carry a 10kg dumbbell in the bag and not feel its weight. It is such a shock that it is a wonder why this bag has never been used before. I really thought that this would change the history of bags, really. Please try it for yourself and see for yourself.This articleThe story behind the birth of the product is also introduced in the following page!

Permanent side gore boots.
I have been searching for the perfect side gore boots for about 5 years. The time came by chance. Last month, when we happened to be talking about boots in the company, Bob, a member of our editorial staff, said to me, "If you're looking for side-gore boots, I think you should try Sanders' Chelsea boots. Steve McQueen used them too! I was already impressed just by that comment, but when I saw the boots in person, I was even more convinced. I was impressed just by those words, but when I saw them in person, I was even more convinced. The moist and elegant suede, the not-too-bulky volume, the mudguard manufacturing method, the crepe sole, and above all, the all-black color including the sole, are all so cool. Thank you Bob.

I have worn sneakers from all different brands, but the Vapor Street Flyknit is a completely different thing (and a different feeling). Once you wear them, you will notice that the cushioning is so noticeably different that it seems almost sickening. I was told that this model is a street version of the model worn by many marathon winners last year. They are insanely light and breathable, making them the perfect pair for the coming season. . So far I have only used them as street shoes, but eventually I will try them for running as well.

Eyevol is a sunglasses brand for people who enjoy modern lifestyles, born out of the "wearable glasses" concept of EYEVAN. Although it has been less than a year since its debut, do not underestimate it. It has been about three months since I purchased "RYS. Frankly speaking, I can say that they are lightweight (23 grams) and the fit of the temples is exquisite. . And the texture of the material is pleasant to wear. I don't feel any stress when running, let alone for daily use. Also, I have a short nose, so I am happy that I can choose nose pads.

An expressive and leading jacket.
Perhaps because basic colors such as black, navy, and khaki have become so prevalent, the desire for colorful items is naturally on the rise these days. As if in response to this trend, many colorful items, especially checks, have been dropped from all brands since last season. This jacket, reminiscent of the Drizzler jacket, is one such item, and since the brand "Captain Sunshine" is well-known for its "special fabrics," the quality of the fabric is a given. The checked fabric is woven from a mix of rare Finks cotton and Zimbabwe cotton slub yarn, and is washed to give it a rough look. This nuance evokes the old clothes and the sea that are the roots of "Captain Sunshine. The thicker arms make it a perfect match with wide-leg pants. It will be immediately useful as a spring-like outerwear.

Clothes that stand tall.
I once met one of the designers of "James Coward" from Canada. He wears black from berets to shoes and is a great admirer of Daido Moriyama (famous for his black-and-white photography), and I felt that he loves black to no end. What kind of black items does he create with such a fascination for black? Well, it often happens that when we apply the word "black" to an item, the image that the word conjures up comes first, and we don't look at the item itself properly. This black set-up is indeed black, but the shiny fabric is too graceful and elegant to be called a basic color. Furthermore, the jacket and pants, which are neither too thick nor too thin, are exquisitely cut and finished. It is the kind of clothing that makes you want to grow a little taller with your clothes.... By the way, we hear there are only a few left, so don't delay.

There are many style icons of people who wear caps, but the one that I now worship on my own is Orono , the singer of the band "Superorganism". She has many elements that make her a pop icon, such as coolness that doesn't suit her young face, good sense of style, and her ability to sing , but she wears a casual cap and sings!This video. He has a medieval face and a cap that suits him well. The medieval look on their faces and the caps look great on them. . I would like to see them live for the first time in a long time, including staging. . On the other hand, it has been rare for me to wear a cap in the past few years. The reason is that caps don't suit my vertically long face, but the solution is rather simple: I should wear a deep cap. I looked for a few deep caps, and one of them was a cap from Cams and Gos. They come in a variety of materials, from cotton to sheep suede, and designs range from one-tone mature to one-pointed casual. Perhaps it is a reaction to the "caps don't suit me" problem that I have had to endure, but I have been craving caps.

Romanticism on your arms.
Junghans" is a favorite of many people. Among them, the "Max Bill," with its simple dial and Bauhaus philosophy, has many fans, and its name is always mentioned in watch features. However, I would choose the "Meister". Among them, this type has a moon calendar. This display in the center of the dial works well as a design feature. And since we don't pay much attention to the moon when we live in the city, having a moon phase calendar like this one makes us conscious of the moon at a moment's notice. Putting aside the practical aspect, I think the function itself is romantic. The point at which analog watches excel over high-performance watches such as the Apple Watch is the overwhelming romanticism of the analog watch. Such a product is a watch that can be enjoyed as a fashion item.

Then, I found this new tissue case at a Puebco store. You simply take out a box of tissues from the box and insert them into the bottom of the case. The key point is the use of vintage parachute fabric. The texture of the fabric is exquisite and ensures that the tissue is used up to the very end.

Shoes recommended by Mr. Yagisawa .

The well-known penny loafer "Logan" is glass leather, and it has a leather sole to begin with, right? As I was wondering, Mr. Yagisawa, the owner of the store, came to me and said, "There was a model in Scotch grain leather in the 1970s, and I used to wear them a lot back then. We reissued them together with Septiz this time. I didn't realize how different the look could be just by using a different leather. Moreover, the cushioning has even been improved by arranging them on a crepe sole made of raw rubber. Logan," which used to be an excellent shoe, now has a casual appearance at a stretch. It seems that you can wear it without any self-consciousness. We simply take our hats off to Cassidy & Septiz for their veteran's point of view. (Coming soon)

Yes, this is the "G-Shock" that you are all familiar with. But as you can see, it's a bling bling. The case and belt are made of full metal with a gold specification, and it is a gorgeous finish that sets it apart from the casual watches of the past. The presence of this watch is not to be missed. The G-Shock will celebrate its 35th anniversary this April, and this special model was created to commemorate the occasion. The familiar square face of the first G-Shock model has been retained. Even with the change in the shock-absorbing polyurethane material, which is synonymous with G-Shock, it is still instantly recognizable as a G-Shock, a result of its long 35-year history. It is a stylish look for an adult to wear a watch like this without being obnoxious. In addition to the gold (limited edition) model shown in the photo, a silver model is also available as an in-line model.

Anyway, pay attention to the name on the chest. It is a faithful reproduction of the name of the nostalgic workwear brand "Payday" from the 1950s. Payday" is one of the private brands of J.C. Penney, a major department store chain in the U.S. The two names, "PENNY'S" and "PAY DAY," are credited side by side as they were back then. I had thought that this name would never be reprinted here in Japan due to trademark issues, etc., so when I saw it, I couldn't help but murmur, "Good job. For some people, it may be a self-satisfying backstory that has nothing to do with the quality of the clothes, but I am still happy to see this kind of attention to detail.

At an exhibition six months ago, Mr. Ozaki, the designer, recommended this item to me and said, "This is really good. I ordered this one. Now, after using it for another six months, I can see what Mr. Ozaki was talking about. The great thing about the "Old American Pocket" is its convenience. The apron can be tied around your waist, or even worn over your shoulder, and the apron can also be turned into a drawstring by putting it inside. By the way, Ozaki recommends wearing it "over the shoulder. When worn over the shoulder, the opening is always open, so it is very easy to take things out of the apron. The size of the bag is also great because it is large enough to hold all of your items.

I don't usually wear jackets, so I'm half a jacket novice, and even if I wanted to try it again, a jacket from a venerable brand with a long history would be a hurdle, but that doesn't mean I can't just pick anything at random. So, one of the shopping options is to pick up a piece that excites me when I see a look! . and then it occurred to me. I never thought that a brand's look would make me reconfirm my attitude toward shopping. I believe (on my own) that the "08 Circus" look has some kind of power hidden within it.

Art to Scent.
This candle and perfume is from London-based fragrance brand Ivo. It is produced by two men, Tomi and Leo, and will be available in Japan from mid-April. The lineup includes fragrances with a variety of approaches, from floral and mellow scents to fresh fragrances that tickle the nose. . The most important feature is that they are beautiful to look at, and there is no compromise at all in the visual making of them. For example, the black candle is a collaboration with contemporary artist Stefan Brückemann, who always seems to have his eye on art in his creations. Hmmm, I like the concept as well! I was impressed. Incidentally, I saw Tomi and Leo during their visit to Japan, and they are both nice guys. Again, no blind spots. Thank you for your kind attention!
