January Letter

Although January is still pretty cold and miserable at a time in New York, 
I cannot stop thinking about the spring color palette for Pigeon Dynamite's collections.

I always love the muted color palette, like beige, white, light gray kind of milky toned colors.
But spring makes me love more colors like pastel colors.
There are quite a few movies that I love for its color palette and great for inspiration.
One of them is Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.
 The decadence of Rococo style always inspires me.
And this movie was full of great colors that I love.
Sofia Coppola's world always has this faded color that I love.






And speaking of faded color, the most recent movie that I liked for that matter, (and also the movie itself) was Spike Jonze's her. (funny how they used to be married and were my favorite coolest couple. Well, I still love both and Sofia is now married to Thomas Mars so...damn Sofia.)

Her (2013)

The whole movie is like shot with instagram or something.
It's got this filter of 70s rusty faded color like sunset.
I love the color of this movie, it's really beautiful.
The story is also very, very interesting.
Watch the trailer.
and if you liked it, you can also enjoy this too.

Like these films, movies always are the great source of inspiration..colors, stories, fashion, etc..
what's your recent inspiration?

 Thanks for reading.

1月は未だ全然寒い季節ですが、もう春の事を考えている私です。
Pigeon Dynamiteの新しいコレクション、
春はどんなカラーを持ってこようかと考えるだけでワクワクします。

私は常に控えめな色、ベージュに、ピンクベージュや白、ライトなグレー等に凄く惹かれます。
でも春はやっぱりもっとカラーに惹かれます。パステル系の淡い色が凄く好きです。
そういうカラーパレットを扱った好きな映画がたくさんあるんですが、
そのうちのひとつがソフィアコッポラのマリーアントワネット。 
とってもガーリーなソフィアコッポラの世界が炸裂してて、ストーリー、映画としての出来よりも 小物や、色が素晴らしい。
そのソフィアコッポラの淡いトーンがとても好きなんですが、彼女の元夫
スパイクジョーンズが最近また凄い自分的にストーリーもですが、色がまたドツボな映画を作りました。
『her（原題）』という映画で、日本ではまだ公開されてないので詳しくはお話しませんが、とにかく映画全体の光の描写や空気の撮り方が凄く好みです。
 『her（原題）』
こういうカラーの使い方はインスタグラムで見ますが、映画で見るとやっぱり全然違いますね。
こういう映画から得るインスピレーションは凄く多いです。
皆さんの最近のインスピレーションは何でしたか？
 では、また次回。

I Wanna Be Buried in Dots

For some reasons, I've been looking at Yayoi Kusama's work again recently. It's probably unnecessary to explain who she is since her collaboration with Luis Vuitton in the past that helped a little bit making her a world famous Japanese contemporary artist like Takashi Murakami. As far as I can remember, the first time I saw her work in person was at the NY Armory show in the city many years ago. I remember looking at her sculpture of this flower, just instantly felt that I love her work without a thought. Ever since, we've had some of her work exhibitions in NYC, but what I remember the most of her work is from the exhibition I went in Osaka even before these events in NYC. There were just so many of her work in Osaka city museum. Her famous "Pumpkin" sculpture. You can find this at Chichu museum in Naoshima, too. I am hoping to visit in near future. The architecture of the museum is also pretty cool too. The kids playing wi

Almost Autumn

Image
Autumn is my absolute favorite season besides spring (but probably even better.) Summer is great, even now I don't live as close to the beach as I used to in San Diego (15-20 min drive to any beaches..sweet!) here in NYC, summer is still fun and inspiring. But it's just fall is so much more to me. The color deepens, the food tastes better, air is crisper, coffee feels more comforting and I feel more creative and productive. It's like the pigments of every colors I see outside become more vivid and it's almost too beautiful and I cannot take it. Luckily the fall in the northeast gives the best part of my favorite season compared to what it did in SoCal which was a lot more muted. I remember the colors of Nara in the fall when I visited last year.   Even though it was passed the best time of their leaf watching season, it was still magnificent. I've seen better time, but it is always lovely to see the beautiful parks in the fall in Japan. I th

Questions to Be Answered

I have a confession to make-it's been a very difficult time for me to come up with new jewelry ideas in the last several weeks. And this might just sound I am making an excuse but since I know exactly why, I thought that I would make a post on this.  Besides my current move of my workspace, there's been just too much sad news that are giving me such a hard time to be creative and productive. (If I was working for a Japanese company, I'd probably be fired right away.) I could not possibly write a blog after just one post last month. Why on earth the airplane needed to be shot down? What the fuck is going on in Gaza, with Palestine, and Israel? And now Japan is possibly becoming the nation that supports war fares? Why?  I could not stop questioning why the world is how it is today. And I started researching and looking through the history, trying to understand. It was like one of the most depressing researches I've done. It only made me question
