Nostalgic sato no aki (autumn countryside/village scenery) mood for this lovely tsumugi (rough silk) kimono with handpainted kaki (persimmon).

There really is something comforting about persimmon pattern? I think it's because they bring back to mind the very wintery sight of countryside houses covered in dangling strings of hoshigaki (dried persimmon):

One of the decorations at my favorite local Chinese restaurant.

だいじょうぶ。 ニャンとか生きていけるよ。

"It's all right. I can live through this some-meow."

●　だいじょうぶ　【大丈夫】 OK, all right, fine; safe, secure; without fear; surely, undoubtedly ●　何とか　【なんとか】 somehow, one way or another; something, so-and-so ●　生きる　【いきる】 to live, to exist; to subsist, to make a living 　・[verb]て＋いく 　to continue to [verb], to go on [verb]ing; 　to start to [verb] 　・生きていく　【いきていく】 　to subsist; 　to keep on living 　・生きていける　【いきていける】 　potential form of 生きていく: 　to be able to keep on living.

Putting it all together, this is a photo of a very scuncht cat who looks done with all of this. He's saying, "It's all right. I can live through this somehow." The joke is that the 何 【なん】 in 何とか is replaced with ニャン, the sound a cat makes.

Initiation Well Location: Sintra, Portugal

A pair of wells, called the Initiation Wells, spiral down deep within the earth, like inverted towers. The wells were never used to collect water. Instead, they were part of a mysterious initiation ritual within the Knights of Templar tradition.
