The other day I posted about the Goze Museum which is curated by Mr. Zenji Ogawa. His home and kimono shop are 3 doors from the museum, and a place worth visiting for the Machiya (townhouse)architecture as well as for the small Japanese trinkets (“Komono”) which he and his wife have on sale and on display in their beautiful home. Don’t think you’ll have to buy an entire kimono when you visit his store. Just last week some Australian visitors came down from the ski slopes to wander around Joetsu. When they arrived at Mr O’Hara’s shop, they were treated to a “trying on” of kimono, a bit of a cultural experience and photos to show friends. The small trinkets also make wonderful and appreciated gifts for those at home. Mr. Ogawa is a bit of a local historian, and is brushing up his English. Why don’t you stop by for a chat? #joetsu #takada #machiya #japaneseculture #kimono (at きものの小川) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtLx1Ljjtj7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z2aeevqcx2o4 -- source link
