Ikebana Competition in Kyoto

Posted on by Hijiri

I felt so lucky to be able to stop by Kyoto again last month (it is one of my favorite cities in the world) but not only that, I happened to pass by these awesome Ikebana competition that was held inside of and in front of Kyoto station (this stations is gorrrrrgeous!) — I was blown away!

These are BIG, too, and it was beautiful with spot lights in the dark.

It really is an art, right?! Each piece is just so amazing and really original. There were more, I wish I could have taken pictures of all… but I hope you see the greatness and that you enjoy these :)

Tuesday morning inspiration! Have a great day — I will be printing all afternoon!

Sweet Linen Heart

Posted on by Hijiri

Happy February! February is my favorite month, love is in the air (not just Valentine’s Day, but we have our marriage anniversary — a leather year!) and I am saying hello to my new year (age) later this month, so exciting!

To start the month, I wanted to share these beautiful little white hearts by All Things White — love the vintage buttons and its details. I would love to hang it on my door or on a wall… so very lovely!

Hope these will make your Monday a happy one! :)

Sweet Stuff

I loved everything about these Japanese sweets, plates, forks, placemats… I had to take pictures for my inspiration and hopefully your inspiration, too :) Love the patterns, colors… like I said, everything.

Aren’t they lovely?

(Tastes lovely, too. Thank you, Mom!)

Anthropologie Snow Window Display

Posted on by Hijiri

I am always amazed by how creative anthropologie window displays and store displays are all year round, but this one I saw at their Rockefeller Center location is by far my favorite!! Yes, the letter “S” “N” “O” “W” are falling down and accumulating. How awesome. I love it. I want this in my office window. Seriously.
