One night in Yoyogi Uehara

I went out with my very good friend Renee few weeks ago. We had dinner in a cozy little place not far from Yoyogi Uehara station and then walked to one of her Japanese girlfriends' shop. Amazing shop, full of hand-made yukata with the most unexpected patterns, to wear with leather obi and sexy pink sandals. I don't know why I felt so intrigued by it, I guess it's that surprising blend of tradition and innovation, past and future, passive acceptance and furious rebellion... Here she is, the owner of this tiny messy and magic shop in Yoyogi Uehara, wearing her own sexy creation. Just great.
