Kawagoe visit / 川越散策

N-ko san, one of my kimono friends, couteously volonteered to show Kawagoe city around for us.  She is familiar with the place, as she lives close by. 

きもの友達の一人、N子さんが感謝なことに川越を案内して下さることに。お近くにお住まいなので、よくご存じなのである。


Firstly we visited Chuuin garden.  Very nice with seasonal flowers on a sunny, a bit too windy, beautiful day. 

まずは中院へ。少し風が強いがきれいに晴れた日に、菖蒲の花が映える日本庭園だ。







Today's coordinate.  I should have taken the photo before I moved around.. 
今日のコーディネート。出かける前に撮るべきだった。着くずれまくっている。。

After coming back, husband and myself joined Kasoyo-san's dinner with Nishimura-san from Nishimura Hakata Orimono.  Enjoyed Korean restaurant, which is impossible if I was not wearing cottton kimono like today!  They gave me a bouquet of flowers, which was also very pretty. 
帰った後は花想容さんのディナーで、博多織織元の西村さんもご一緒に。木綿のきものでなければ行けない韓国料理を堪能。母の日に余ったカーネーションももらった。きれい!
