I went to the Kokeshi exhibit held at the Shibuya Parco Museum.

Kokeshi is a wooden doll that was made in the past as a souvenir for hot-spring bath guests.
They are mainly made in the Tohoku region.

At this exhibition, Kokeshi made in each prefecture in the Tohoku region were on display.

The atmosphere changes at little with each region and it was very interesting.

I liked the Mexican girl style one and the Miffy Kokeshi that was created from a collaboration with a Holland Airport.

I went with a friend to CAFE MAME-HICO in Shibuya.

Before we opened the door, we could smell the beautiful scent of coffee.

They are very particular with the coffee here, and apparently they grind the coffee beans for each cup after being ordered.

We had an an original blend coffee, an orange muffin, cheese cake and lemon cake.
Not only the coffee, but the cakes were also made carefully and were very delicious.

These are actually rain flats but they look classy and I can enjoy on sunny days at the same time.
They look great with denim and a simple dress for a downtown look!
