Footsteps of summer.
Summer is the best season for me, as I love the hot season anyway, but it seems that various leisure activities will be restricted this summer as well. In the midst of all this, I received news that the swimming pool at Oiso Long Beach will be open this year! I am so happy! I think it might be a good idea to stay at a hotel and enjoy the pool.

Zento Curry Dish
![](/dummy.png)
You can look at it, you can put it on the website.
It is too late for me to say this, but recently I have finally become interested in tableware. I wonder to myself why I did not go there before, but at any rate, it is finally happening. I know that there are many wonderful artists, but I want to select pieces based on my intuition, not on their names. As a first-year ceramic artist, this curry dish really caught my attention. It was originally made by Hasamiyaki Nakazen and supervised by architect Ai Yoshida, and I fell in love with its matte texture and gently rounded form at first sight. Although it is named a curry dish, it can be used in any way you like.

Outdoor spices from Tokyocraft

Overly evolved spices.
There is an unprecedented camping boom in Japan. Although I am too lazy to join this big wave, I am of course interested in it. I am thinking of slowly getting together gear and goods in my own way, and the first thing I am looking for is a fire pit for crackling in my yard. In the midst of all this, I came across this "Tokyocraft". It is a famous brand in the outdoor spice world, "Tokyocraft".engravingI have both the basic and the dry version and use them a little bit, but to be honest, I think I prefer this one. I think I prefer this one, to be honest. "SHIN SHIM" is for when you want a Japanese flavor, and "滾 TAGI" is for when you just want to sprinkle it on meat. It sounds like a lie to say that it tastes good on everything, but it's true.

Maias T-shirts

Let's wear art.
I feel like I say this every year, but this summer I want to wear something a little more flashy. Putting aside the one-tone black, gray, and navy T-shirts, I'm in the mood for shiny, beautiful T-shirts. In addition, another hot item in my mind is a product with an artistic interpretation. The form is loose, with a pop and bright touch. This T-shirt is a collaboration with stencil artist Kansuke Akaike, and each piece is hand painted with a gradation reminiscent of an abstract painting, using the stencil technique. When I saw it for the first time, I simply fell in love with it, thinking how beautiful it was. Mayas is a brand by a knit engineer who has been working with knitwear for many years, and has a wide range of wonderful knitwear.this way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)Please start at

Timberland's Three-Eye Classic Rug

Brown first pair.
previousI blogged about it.I first put my feet through this masterpiece 8 years ago. I have been wearing them ever since. I have two more new pairs that I haven't worn at all, but they are all burgundy, so I decided to get a spare pair as well. The one I got this time is the brown one you see. I'm wondering why I didn't get them before, they are so great. I love the masculine feel of this pair, which is less sweet than the burgundy. The more I wear them, the more I am captivated by the charm of these three-eye classic rugs. They are sturdy, solid, classy, and well-made. Don't you think it's crazy that such a well-made moccasin shoe costs less than 20,000 yen? Oh, and the "Sleeve Eye Classic Rugs" are also available at the following stores.AH.HOf course, I believe that the influence of the "Mere Old Man" has a lot to do with the "Mere Old Man.

I just visited the "Forest, Road, Market 2021." It was a very nice event. It was a great event, and the pure heart palpitations that started from "I want people to know about the bad Genghis Khan restaurant" were also wonderful. The "Sauna Shijiki" on the way home was also great!

New Balance Running Shoes
![](/dummy.png)
A mysterious top-of-the-line model that inherits the NB character.
I decided to check out New Balance's trail running shoes and visited the flagship store in Harajuku, which boasts an impressive selection. I went to the running section of the store and looked around the lineup of shoes and found a strange model that I had never seen before. The color scheme was based on the gray that symbolizes "New Balance," and the sophisticated appearance was reminiscent of a high-numbered shoe. Moreover, the midsole is made of foam with excellent repulsive elasticity, and a carbon plate is also included. It looks beautiful and has many functions. I tried them on and found that they had a luxurious fit that enveloped my feet. They were so comfortable that I tried to put them on and check out the store, but the price was a premium. I couldn't turn back, so I bought them, although I was hesitant about the price. Since then, I have been using this model called "Lerato" for many occasions. By the way, this model is limited to the official store, so if you are interested in it, please check the availability at the store or online store before trying it out.

Stampin' Stampin' Shorts
![](/dummy.png)
Technical but tasteful.
When running is your hobby, shorts are often needed. I usually wear shorts when I run in hot weather and even in cold winter, unless I am in an extremely cold area. Therefore, shorts that are easy to use and can still be run in are my favorite all year round. To that end, I would like to introduce the ultra-thick silhouette of the Stamp Stamps. The nylon ripstop material used for these shorts is lightweight and water-repellent, although not stretchy, so they can handle daily jogging without difficulty. It has a total of five pockets, with an additional cell phone-sized pocket on the right side back. It is a smart way to store your hand luggage. The puckering on the stitches gives it an impressive and tasteful look. It is available in one size for both men and women, so you can enjoy the superb big silhouette by cinched the waist with a drawcord.

City Country City Quick Dry T-Shirt

Quick-drying body T-shirt by a mysterious label.
A friend of mine told me about an Instagram account called "CITY COUNTRY CITY". As of this writing, I have only 22 followers. However, a look at his followers reveals that they are, for some reason, all members of the apparel industry. The contents of their posts are also outlandish, ranging from a famous physicist to a cover photo of a leading Japanese techno-pop unit to a British breakfast, all of which are just plain strange. Nevertheless, there is no sense of incoherence, and the world view is well expressed throughout the entire exhibition. Is it an individual, a brand, or just a prank? I have no idea of the details, but my friend handed me this "CITY COUNTRY CITY" T-shirt. For some reason, the body is made of a cotton-like quick-drying body, which I like. The mystery only deepens.

Running shorts with the Pharrell mark.
I dress to run at all hours of the day, whether at work, at home, running, or sleeping. It is simply comfortable and can be used as everyday wear if you choose the right design. Above all, choosing the functionality to suit the climate at the time is similar to fashionable enjoyment. Even so, there are times when fashionable elements are desired. However, it is desirable to be able to run without changing the function. For this reason, I have recently been using the "Billionaire Boys Club" shorts that Pharrell Williams is involved with. The shorts are made of nylon fabric that excels in water absorbency, moisture absorption, and quick-drying, with a bold graphic on the left side and a rubber patch added to the right side. The drawcord at the waist allows you to adjust the fit according to your needs. A modern version of the so-called amphibious shorts. Fast Facts,Photographing for a feature article on BrooksI wore them in and they were in pretty good shape.

I visited the Tokyo Garden Theater for the first time for a Nulbarich concert, and it was a great venue, with good acoustics despite its size (8,000 seats) and interesting four-tier seating configuration. There are not many halls of this size in Tokyo, so I guess it will be very useful in the future. Oh, and the live performance was also a lot of fun! The guest performers were gorgeous, and it was a luxurious time!

THE one and only.
There are a few words that are not my favorite when it comes to writing captions for items, one of which is "unique. One of them is "one and only," which, if you look up its meaning on Yahoo, comes up as "only one and only one. It's a commonly used word, and there's nothing wrong with the meaning, but it makes me wonder if it really is "one and only. Is there anything else like it, or is it really worthy of the word? I don't want to use "one and only" so easily. But of course, there are exceptions. One of them is "Capital. Everything is completely original, from the brand's worldview to the clothes it produces, the store's interior, and even the staff who work there. There is no other brand that fits the term "one and only" so well. These shorts are just such a case. They are easy shorts with a belt at the waist, but they are hunting shorts with three flap pockets on each side. They have an extraordinary appearance. Have you ever seen such a design anywhere else? They are truly "one-of-a-kind" shorts.

Lure of the lamebug

Artistic lure.
I started bass fishing this spring. There are many reasons why I started fishing, such as the desire to have a chance to get in touch with nature and the pleasant personalities of anglers, but I was also attracted by the adorable appearance of lures. Among them, I fell in love with the handmade lure "Chimushi," which I came across during a fishing report! The warm shape of the lure, which is made by cutting wood, and the painted surface, which is done by hand and painted carefully one by one, make the lure look like an art figure. I was so captivated by their appearance that I bought several of them even though I had not even started fishing yet. The photo shows the first plastic duck-shaped lure (left) and two handmade wood lures (right), both of which are made by "Lover's Mushi. Of course, since they are lures, the important thing is whether or not they catch fish, but according to the fishermen around me, "Lover's Mushi can catch fish. While enjoying the pleasure of collecting them, I am thinking of catching a black bass with these lures someday.

Bonfire x Grateful Dead x recliner chair = super comfortable.
We also visited "FUJI & SUN '21" to cover GOMA. It was very satisfying to be exposed to live sound in nature for the first time in a while. Once again, I realized that going to festivals is a necessary part of life. Looking back, the two days were full of fun, but it was the nights that left the biggest impression on me. Drinking sake around the campfire with friends. Just sitting and relaxing, looking at the flickering outline of the fire. What made this ordinary time special was the "Stargaze Recliner Luxury," a reclining chair from Nemo Equipment that I used for the first time that day. When you lean back in the chair, it sways like a hammock, and it feels great. With the sound of crackling firewood and Grateful Dead as background music, I swayed freely and dreamily. The comfort of the seat that wraps around your body also gives you a sense of security. It was such a happy time that I could stay like this for the rest of my life.

The latest camping gear is gathered here!
With the rise of garage brands and rare, hard-to-find gear, the camping scene is suddenly on the rise. Nowadays, the camping scene has crossed over into the fashion scene and is maturing into a single culture. In this context, "United Arrows'" first outdoor label "Coty Beauty & Youth," which opened this spring, is very good. This outdoor label, which brings together a collection of tasteful camping gear, makes use of the aesthetic sense cultivated in the select store business. Since its opening, it has become a personal favorite of mine, and I feel confident that I can find the most current camping gear at this store. Next on my list is the gear shirt shown here, made in collaboration with Grip Swanee. It has multi-functional pockets on both chests, each with a different shape, making it easy to use. The fabric is made of Supplex nylon, which is lightweight, easy to move in, and dries quickly even when wet. This is definitely one that will come in handy when camping or fishing. It can also be worn as a short-sleeved jacket by rolling up the sleeves and buttoning them up. This makes it perfect for the upcoming high season. Coty continues to drop new items of interest every week, so we will continue to check back.

Can you read this kanji? Kugenuma. The first time I went to Kugenuma, it was a wonderful place. Not the famous beach area, but the land area called Kugenuma. There were people riding bicycles with surfboards, and it had a nice local atmosphere because of its proximity to the ocean. Let's go to the beach next time.

Puebco Hat Case
![](/dummy.png)
Memories overflowing.
Is there anything you can't live without? One such item in my mind is a felt hat from Dior Homme. Let me tell you a story from about 15 years ago, when I was a fledgling editorial assistant. The men's fashion world was all about Hedi Slimane. It was a time when Hedi Slimane's Dior Homme brand boasted a cult following. Under such circumstances, I was a big fan of Hedi Slimane without a doubt, but his clothes were too expensive for my own pocketbook. So, after much deliberation, I chose a felt hat that I could just barely afford. I kept it in a plastic bag at the dry cleaners, but the way I put it away has always stuck in my mind. I wondered if it was okay to treat it so carelessly. So the other day, I finally got off my back and bought a hat case. It is a steel one from "Puebco" with a stencil on the front and a handle on the side. The moment I put the hat in the case, I felt refreshed, having resolved a long-standing rut, but I had another worry on my mind: when would I open it again?

The rainy season finally arrived.
I wrote about the start of the rainy season in this project last month. I wrote about the start of the rainy season from Okinawa to Tokai in record time. I thought it was about time for the Kanto region, too, but no matter how long I waited, the rainy season never arrives! I've got the Aerios FL Mid GORE-TEX Shoes from Arc'teryx on standby because the rainy season is coming...damn it. But then, the rainy season finally arrived. This pair of shoes was originally made for trekking and hiking. As the name suggests, they are made of GORE-TEX®, so you don't have to worry about getting wet, and the mid-cut design keeps water from splashing on the ground. Another key point is the "Vibram® Mega Grip Outsole" that resists slipping. Even if they don't get wet, they will be ruined if they slip. The rainy season has just started, and they are immediately put to great use.

Flying Tiger Copenhagen rugs

Cute face and a nikko.
The other day, my wife and I went to Flying Tiger Copenhagen in Futakotama. From the moment we entered the store, we were immediately drawn to all the petit Scandinavian goods on display. As I was going through the maze of items in the store, I noticed this rug. It was colorful, cute, and just what I was looking for to replace my bathroom mat! I reached for it and was surprised to see that it was only 660 yen. What a steal at 660 yen! It was a convenient size of 60 x 90 cm and was made of recycled materials with a firm thickness. I bought other sundries that day, but this is definitely my personal number one item. Flying Tiger Copenhagen" is a real force to be reckoned with.
