[Okazaki Skip.]

AM7:30-

On Saturday mornings, I wake up a little early and make coffee.

The weather was fine, the temperature was 27°C, and the humidity was moderate.

On a day like today, I feel like going out in just a shirt.

The one I chose was drawn by SHOKO TAKAHASHI.

Military-themed skipper shirt .

Tanks, helmets, grenades...

That sounds a bit extreme, but

In her hands

It makes it look incredibly delicate and artistic.

What's great is that it looks like embroidery from a distance.

The pants are above-knee length chino shorts.

She is wearing leather sandals.

A small canvas tote

I put my paperback book and water bottle in it and set off.

AM10:00-

First, go through Okazaki Park

Take a leisurely walk along the Lake Biwa Canal.

The breeze blowing through the rows of trees was just right.

Cotton typewriter shirt

It sways gently.

This shirt has an excellent balance of firmness and lightness.

The wrinkles from washing also add a nice touch.

It doesn't stick to the skin

It's surprisingly comfortable even in the middle of summer.

AM11:00-

Take a short break at Tsutaya Bookstore at the Rohm Theatre Kyoto.

Blended coffee and a magazine

Flip through the pages.

Relaxed fit shirts

The silhouette is also good even when sitting

It's helpful because it doesn't crumble easily.

Skipper neckline

The neck is naturally open.

It's casual, yet somehow feels casual.

A little leeway

It might come out in a place like this.

12:00 PM-

During the day, we went to Grill Koho, located next to Heian Shrine.

The classic omelet rice.

As always, it's so different

Volume. LOL.

In the afternoon, we went to the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art.

On a day to see art

This graphic shirt fits right in.

It's not just casual

I like to leave a strong impression.

After 5:30 p.m.

The sky in Okazaki is gradually turning amber

It starts to stain.

Sitting on a bench along the canal

I like spending time gazing at the reflections on the water's surface.

When I looked down at this shirt,

In the delicate line drawings

Small grenades and tanks

I found it hiding

I can't help but grin.

It's rugged, yet stylish.

This contrast is what makes this shirt so appealing.

Before dusk, along the Okazaki Canal

I walk to Shirakawa-dori.

Stopping for a moment on the bridge

I look up at the sky dyed in the setting sun.

I didn't do anything special.

But wear a nice shirt

I feel like I had a good time.

Okazaki Afternoon and this skipper shirt

It might be a better fit than I thought.

18:00-

I was thirsty, so I went to Shiba in Okazaki.

An old Kyoto townhouse

In a renovated tatami room

While sipping a cold alcoholic beverage

Spend some time listening to your favorite records.

It was slightly open just now

The collar of the skipper shirt

As the temperature drops, it rises moderately

I was reminded once again that he is surprisingly reliable.

19:30-

Dinner is a little outside Okazaki

In the alleys of Jodo-ji Temple

"Shoka-tei" is a quiet local Chinese restaurant.

A long-established store founded 40 years ago

Once you step through the noren, you'll find yourself surrounded by the Showa era atmosphere.

A space that seems to remain.

Sit down at the counter

I ordered a Tsingtao beer.

Grilled pork and steamed chicken.

The flavor is not too strong, but remains firm.

Just right for a tired body.

It's not too flashy, but the details are definitely artistic.

That balance

It doesn't feel out of place in a place like this

Maybe that's why they can blend in.

While the owner was placing the roast pork on a plate,

"That shirt has an interesting pattern."

He spoke to me.

"It's military, but it's illustrated."

I replied,

"Oh, it's a painting...

I thought it was almost like embroidery," she said with a laugh.

Moments like this

I think it's a joy to wear this shirt.

21:00-

Head to the Kitashirakawa area of Ginkakuji Temple.

The destination is close to Ginkakuji Temple.

A wooden house built about 54 years ago for rent

Renovated wine bar

"HOWENE".

When you open the sliding door

Wine glasses are hung neatly on the wall.

Comfortable lighting envelops the space.

"HOWENE" offers natural and biodynamic wines

Centered

At least 30% natural wine

That's how particular they are.

To conclude this night

It was just perfect.

The shirt is neither daylight nor evening light.

The lighting at night gives it a different look

He shows me.
