Kyoto in early summer and an openwork hat.
NagaoDaisuke A gentle breeze along the Kamo River
When it gets a little damp
The start of full-scale summer has finally arrived.
In Kyoto during this season
The wind caressing my skin and the light shining in
The key to your outfit is how you make it your ally.
What I picked up was
No-brand DEADSTOCK straw hat.
Carefully woven natural materials
Maybe raffia or straw.
Large brim and
A softly rounded crown.
It has a rustic yet sophisticated appearance.
The delicate openwork pattern
It's actually very practical.
It is breathable and does not trap heat in the head.
But it's not just practicality.
Light filtering through like sunlight filtering through the trees
Casts a beautiful shadow around the face.
It's like the willow leaves of Shirakawa
The beauty is like the ripples on the surface of the water.
Attracted by the natural texture of the material
Try pairing it with a white linen dress.
Espadrilles on your feet
She has wooden earrings on her ears.
Put a bottle of cold-brewed green tea in a basket bag
We head to a small gallery in Higashiyama.
So this hat
It subtly enhances your travel mood.
Of course, they are a reliable presence in the city.
Off-white wide pants and a black camisole
Layering a linen haori
The relaxed atmosphere of the city coexists with the tranquility of Kyoto.
While taking a break at a cafe
"That hat is lovely," someone said to me.
It's not too assertive, yet memorable.
Such a great supporting actor.
Maybe
An old actress at a summer resort
Maybe it was a hat like the one he was wearing.
Or someone found it at a flea market.
It may be something you have always cherished.
The nameless hat
There is room for such imagination.
In early summer in Kyoto, the sun is getting stronger
Light and supple.
This straw hat is
It's not just a sunshade
I think of them as accessories that carry a story.
