Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to readers of Chiangmaimary.

I hope you like this gorgeous Christmas tree in Tokyo Midtown as much as I did.

Thank you for looking at the blog again this year.
I hope to see some of you while I am home over New Year.
The blog will be back from Tokyo in 2020.

Christmas Gingko

Loved the Christmas lights in the Gingko trees at Tokyo Midtown.

Sunday Kimono 12 - At the market

The Boroichi Market last Sunday was wonderful - so many great things to taste, to try and of course to buy - including kimonos.  Loved this lady in her winter kimono checking out the vintage/second hand kimonos.

More orange - or is it Vermillion?

Love the colour connection between the bridge and the maples at Shuzenji.

Lone Gingko Leaf

The Gingko season is coming to an end, but they are still beautiful, even when fallen.  

Stone lantern at Jissoin Shrine in my neighbourhood.

Orange haze

Vermillion torii gates on a winters night at Hie Shrine in Tokyo.

Shoes

As a break from maples and autumn colours - some photos of the amazingly ugly and undoubtedly uncomfortable shoes on display in Harajuku - the teenage fashion hive of Tokyo.
