つばき

2023.11.25

今日も久々に花の文化園に行って来ました。毎度のことながら花の文化園に近づくにしたがって天気が悪くなってくる。

いつもの事なので、まぁ仕方ないかって割り切っていたんですけど、園に着いたら晴れだしてきました。でも、こういう時に限って開園時間になってもシャッターが開かない。すこし遅れて、シレっと開園しました。

これは晴れている間ん急いで撮らなければと思い、思わず駆け足でもみじ谷に向かいました。やっぱり紅葉は晴れている間に撮りたいですもの。

そう言えば、椿ってもう咲いているのかなって思ってつばき園を見に行ったらピンクの椿が咲いていました。

水仙も咲いてるって聞いたんですけど、咲いてる水仙を見つけることができませんでした。

そろそろ冬の花も咲き始めましたね。

Impressionism art

I just made a impressionism art phone case for a friend in the university and I feel really really proud of how it's done... I never felt this before when I painting but... It feels good.. 🖤

Busy weekend with kid stuff and two birthday parties. We were running around all over town. We had a beautiful sunny comfortable Sunday walking around our favorite Brookside Gardens with the family. It’s feeling like summer! I love seeing all the flowers blooming! Makes me so happy we get to enjoy all of this beauty.

[Haircare during Edo period], handy illustration by Sayuri Sasai.

As time went, Edo hairstyles became more and more intricated. Hairdos were set using plenty of styling products, like 梳き油 sukiabura (creamy pomade) or 付け油 tsukeabura (solid pomade). Many recipes existed, varying in bases (like 椿油 tsubakiabura/camellia oil, 菜種油nataneabura/canola oil, 木蝋 mokurô/sumac wax etc.) and fragrances used.

Once set, hairstyles did not fell apart easily, but the oils used meant hair easily caught dust or dander - hence why people used tenugui or other kinds of hoods to protect their hair (see those past notes 1 / 2):

In the past, washing one's hair was usually done once or twice per month (in the meantime, to relieve itchy scalp, people often used hairpins to scratch without unraveling hairdo!).

Dirt and wax were washed off using hot water and shampoo made from dried 布海苔 funori (a type of red algae) and うどん粉 udonko (wheat flour). You can see here an attempt at recreating the mix.

Then, hair was allowed to dry naturally (taking care of not catching a cold in freezing weather!).

山茶花

2023.12.18

なんかメッチャ寒くなっていませんか?一気に気温が下がって紅葉も散ってしまいました。

こうなったら何を撮ろうかと考えながら長居植物園に行ったら、ちょうどサザンカが咲き始めていました。

咲き誇るサザンカも勢いがあっていいんですけど、咲き始めのサザンカも花の１つ１つがパワーがあってキレイに咲いています。

特に葉の深い緑と対象的なピンク色は、葉と組み合わせて撮ることで独特の雰囲気を醸し出してくれますよね。

ちょうど今からサザンカがキレイに咲きそろってくる時期です。公園や庭先でもよく見かけるので撮られてみてはいかがでしょうか。
