New and Restocked items in March
Posted by shinya sogabe on
In Hiroshima, now is the best season to view ume blossoms. Daytime temperature here in Hiroshima is around 50°F and the air is definitely getting warmer.
In Japan, Spring Equinox Day is on March 20th and many Japanese visit the family graves and honor their ancestors on this day. We usually say, 寒さ暑さも彼岸まで[samusa atsusa mo higan made]. This means, heat and cold will only last until the equinox. Yes, spring is just around the corner!
I just love having lunch outside especially during this season and we have some useful items that we want to introduce to you for your spring picnic!
広島では梅の花が見どころを迎えています。日中は１０℃を上回る、比較的過ごしやすい日も増えてきました。
もうすぐ春のお彼岸。この日はご先祖様に感謝の気持ちをこめて、お墓参りに行かれる方も多いのではないでしょうか？「寒さ暑さも彼岸まで」と言われ、この時期を境にだんだん春めいてきます。そう、もうすぐ桜の季節！
外でランチ、なんてとても気持ち良いですよね。お外ランチに是非お勧めしたい優秀なお供をご紹介！
First of all, you will need a bento box to pack your lunch and we would strongly recommend this cedar wood bento box for your lunch buddy. The cedar wood absorbs moderate amount of moisture, keeping rice fresh and delicious! The slight scent of natural cedar wood makes rice even more delicious.
We waited for more than 6 months and they are finally here! We have restocked cedar wood bento boxes!
まずは、なんといってもお弁当箱。杉の木で作られたまげわっぱで食べるお弁当は、ごはんが主役。杉の木が乾燥からごはんをまもり、適度に水分を吸収してくれるおかげで、冷めてもおいしさをキープ。ほんのり香る杉の香りがまたおいしい！
You can make a simple bag with it and even use it as a mat. KOTONOWA furoshiki is indeed a useful item for a picnic.
持ち物を運ぶ、そして敷物としても使えるのはこちらの風呂敷たち。KOTONOWAの風呂敷はお外ランチをさらに楽しくしてくれます。
Japanese traditional item, furoshiki designed by Finnish designers, Heini Riitahuhta and Juho Vitasalo. They took traditional furoshiki to another level!
They are made of 100% Cotton, hand dyed one by one by skilled craftsmen in Kyoto using Tenassen technique.
日本の風呂敷文化とフィンランドデザイナー、ヘイニ・リータフフタとヴィータサロ ユホのコラボレーション。素材はナチュラルな木綿100％。染めはこだわりの「手捺染（てなっせん）」。一枚一枚、京都の熟練した染め職人が手作業で染め上げています。
