A fan in the bari.

I am here in Paris on a PFW. I have been walking more than 25,000 steps every day in temperatures over 35 degrees Celsius, which is like training for a warrior. Moreover, there is almost no air conditioning in this city, so everywhere I go is hell itself. I make do with a fan and a hand towel. These are Japanese convenience goods that have been handed down since ancient times, but I was reminded once again of the high potential of these two items. The fan in particular. If there were stylish designs that could be used casually, they would be very popular.

MOUNTAIN RESEARCH

Mountain Research Mountain Hats

Straw pile.

This is a straw hat version of the famous "Mountain Research" mountain hat, which I personally like and wear often. While using soft and delicate raffia as the material, the uneven crown that looks like a mountain range and the large brim that bends up are perfectly reproduced. In addition, the sweat-proof sweatband on the inside, which is in direct contact with the skin, can be easily removed with a zip for washing. The hat is very elaborate in both appearance and functionality, but the name of the manufacturer on the inside tag is convincing: Kijima The hat was made by Kijima Takayuki, a hat maker. It is voluminous and has a great impact! With this hat, you can say goodbye to the tasteless summer styling. As a side note, when I was wearing this hat at PFW, many people asked me, "Where did you get that? I felt good about it because I was wearing it here. Between you and me, I felt good about it.

SOUTH2 WEST8

South 2 West 8 mesh shirt

Mesh in summer.

South 2 This is a standard mesh shirt released every year by "West 8" in a different pattern. Actually, I had not marked this shirt at all before, but when I saw someone I know wearing it at Fuji Rock last year, I thought, "It's so cool! and I decided to copy him. Although it has long sleeves, the mesh material keeps you cool, protects your skin from direct sunlight, and is also insect repellent, so it works well as a bug repellant. I got the camo pattern to try out, and when I tried it out fishing and camping, it was so good that I bought an additional beige one. On a very personal scale, I can say that this is one of the strongest outdoor summer outfits I've ever worn. The transparency allows you to enjoy layering, and the hem can be cinched with a drawcord, so you can be creative in how you wear it!

WOOLRICH OUTDOOR LABEL

Woolrich Outdoor Label linen shirt

The option of long-sleeved linen.

I have tried many different types of shirts, but if you are looking for comfort, linen long-sleeved shirts are the only way to go in the summer. If you only want instant coolness, you can't beat a T-shirt, but linen is breathable, and long sleeves allow you to avoid direct sunlight and also protect you from air conditioning. If it gets too hot, you can just roll up the sleeves, so overall, linen long-sleeved shirts are the best choice for summer. This year, I acquired a Grampa shirt from the Woolrich Outdoor Label's Grampa shirt. I like the classic design reminiscent of French work, and the moderate thickness of the 40-count linen fabric is just right for mid-summer. The large-capacity Napoleon pockets on both chests provide good storage capacity. The body width is also relaxed, so you can enjoy a relaxed fit without it clinging to your body. I liked it so much that I got it in both the check and solid colors you see here. The wrinkled look of the fabric after wearing is also very tasteful.

KEEN x Hiking Patrol

Keen x Hiking Patrol sandals

This year's festival sandals.

Every year, I buy a pair of sandals for outdoor summer festivals, and when I consider design, comfort, functionality, and other factors, I end up with "Keen. In fact, most of my outdoor shoes, not just for summer festivals, are Keen. It is partly because they fit my foot shape, but also because they give me a great sense of security. This time, I chose the new "Hyperport H2 Sandal. It is an updated version of the well-known "Newport. While the toe protection and comfortable fit are maintained, the cushioning has been dramatically improved with a thicker EVA midsole. And it's lightweight. With this, you can spend 3 days of heavy walking at Fuji Rock in safety and comfort. The color in the photo is a special order from Hiking Patrol, a Norwegian social media company. The vivid fluorescent colors are perfect for the strong summer sun, and above all, they make you feel happy just by wearing them. What better pair for summer festivals?

This year, I went to Nozawa Onsen again.

How many years in a row have I run this? This year again, I will participate in "The 4100D Mountain Trail in Nozawa Onsen" on a hot sea day. Nozawa Onsen" on a hot sea day. By the way, I have chosen 65km as the distance. For now, I will acclimatize myself to the heat in Totoke-den.

SUUNTO

Suunto Sports Watches

Lightweight watch for long trails.

Suunto watches have been my favorites for many years since I started trail running. I have always admired the beautiful product design and graceful interface that only the Finnish brand can offer, as well as the tough design reminiscent of the famous "Vector" watches. However, due to my professional background, I often flirted with watches from other companies to be fair. In the midst of all this, I have been using this "Suunto Suunto Run" is a lightweight watch designed for runners. Described as a "lightweight sports watch designed for runners," the Suunto Run weighs only 36 grams and has a cloth strap that fits comfortably around the wrist. The high-definition amoled display boasts high legibility, and one of the five easy-to-operate buttons is a crown type, allowing for speedy control. The battery performance of 40 hours in power-saving mode is also attractive. This is sure to be a reliable partner for long trail races coming up in the fall.

LUNA SANDALS

Luna Sandals x Ryuji Kamiyama Sandals

Minimalist, pop, and artistic.

In summer, I usually wear bee-sans. Recently, I have been wearing a recovery type made by a French outdoor manufacturer. These are comfortable, but I find them cumbersome because I can't start running at the moment I feel like it. That's when we turned our attention to a model created in collaboration with Luna Sandals, a leader in the barefoot movement, and Mr. Kamiyama. Minimalist Trail Sandal "Retro The base model is "Oso Flaco," and "RATFACE" is printed all over the footbed. The print is almost invisible once worn, but the overly understated pop assertion is a nice touch. The outsole is made of Vibram The outsole is made with Vibram Mega Grip, so you can use them on mountain trails with no worries. These minimalist, pop, artistic running sandals are sure to come in handy this summer. They will come in handy this summer.

SAUCONY

Succaneer sneakers

Technical details and high quality materials.

One brand that has been steadily strengthening its presence in recent years is the long-established American brand "Succany. Its so-called "thick-soled racing shoes" have been well received, and the company opened a street store in Shibuya. Furthermore, the brand has launched the "Succany Silo" as a luxury fashion category. The company has been steadily covering a wide range of products from performance to lifestyle, including the launch of the "Succaneer Silo" as a luxury fashion category. The "Grid-X Ultra S" sneaker, inspired by the trail running shoes of "Succany," is now available. The Grid-X Ultra S combines a compression-molded dual-layer midsole with a breathable mesh upper, plus a full-grain leather closure system and a Vibram The outsole is equipped with Vibram Mega Grip, a clever blend of technical details and quality materials. This is truly an ambitious work that shows the momentum of the brand. It's a great choice for a short trip in the mountains.

Teva

Teva Sandals

It can be run on both road and trail.

When running in the mountains, I have always worn trail running shoes as a matter of course. Because they are designed for running in the mountains, they are simply more comfortable and provide a sense of security by protecting the feet (especially the toes) from the uneven ground. However, Teva's "Aventrail" series of mountain-running sandals, released last year, has quickly overturned this stereotype. The latest "Aventrail," introduced this season R2T" has been updated to road-to-trail specifications. The midsole is made of lightweight, cushioned LITE-COMF®, and the lugs on the outsole have been rearranged to accommodate road and gravel paths for a light and comfortable ride in any field. The upper with the W-strap system allows for delicate adjustment of the fit while still fitting the foot. Of course, toes remain a concern, but the overwhelming sense of freedom, which is different from that of shoes, is irreplaceable. We hope you will enjoy sandal running this summer with the "Aventrail" series.

Shuhei Wakiyama

Only goodbye is life, he said.

I had heard about it since I lived there, but finally the rundown apartment I lived in about 10 years ago now was torn down. The two-story house I shared with a friend was lived in by my former roommate until the last minute, and I have good memories of all the good and bad events. Goodbye, 2-8-9!

HOUDINI

Houdini short-sleeved shirt

For a comfortable summer.

As the years go by, I feel that T-shirts are becoming less and less suitable for me. I still wear T-shirts, of course, but it is also true that I find myself wearing short-sleeved shirts more and more. This one from Houdini is called "Tree. It's called a "polo shirt," but the key point is that it is made of a plain weave fabric, not a knitted fabric like the so-called "deer cloth. The color and other details give it a somewhat elegant finish that is typical of Houdini. The smooth, silky feel of the fabric comes from the recycled fiber Tencel, which is also breathable and quick-drying. It also has moisture permeability and quick-drying properties, and the generous fit of the pullover makes it a great choice for sweaty summers. Moreover, it is a recyclable fabric that is completely renewable and biodegradable, and has been certified with the EU eco-label. It is a piece that will move you to reduce the use of electricity for air conditioning, etc., even if only a little, although you should not overdo it.

BIRKENSTOCK

Birkenstock Shoes

When it comes to Birkenstock shoes, this is what I'm talking about.

I've been wanting to wear leather shoes for a while now. However, summer is just around the corner, and I felt that it would be difficult to match them with my clothes if they were too spicy. I remembered the "Pasadena" shoes by Birkenstock, which were revived this spring, and I had worn them in the '00s. They are not sneakers, nor do they look as stiff as leather shoes. I like this balance. I felt that they were somewhat cleaner than the old ones, and I wondered if the form of the sole and upper had become more refined. I felt that the shape of the sole and the upper has become more refined. Thanks to this, I feel like I can wear them with any pants. And after all, "Pasadena" is suede! The mood of being carefree in a good sense is the best.

Biryani Osawa

Takamasa Osawa, "Fried Pan Biryani from "Biryani Osawa"".

June is biryani!

Exactly three years ago, I covered "Biryani Osawa".It is still one of the projects that we are very glad to have done, as it is often picked up on social networking sites. As you can see from the article, the owner, Mr. Osawa, is a big biryani lover and is particular about serving only biryani at his restaurant. The biryani is fluffy, yet fluffy and airy, almost melting in your mouth, and the spices are extremely tasty. The only problem is that it is not easy to make a reservation, so I sometimes use mail order for home use or as a gift. If Mr. Osawa is going to publish a book focusing on pan-fried biryani that can be made deliciously at home, I have no choice but to buy it. I prefer mutton when I eat out, but there are also home-style flavors such as pork kimchi, cod roe, beef and burdock root, and so on. This is a book that makes you want to try all sorts of things and makes you too hungry.

Montbell Cap

Celebrating 50 years!

Whenever I see a MontBell store, I tend to stop by. However, rather than looking at the items in a prominent place, I tend to go to the back of the store to look for seasonal items that I wish were available. After a long time, I took a look around the entrance area and found the 50th anniversary items. While many items were out of size or sold out, I unexpectedly bought this cap. The logo design from when the store was founded is on the front, and the washed look is very retro. It has a "souvenir" feel to it, or as I like to call it as a compliment, I like the way it looks. Moreover, I was surprised to see that the cap is available in three sizes, which is rare for this kind of cap. I'm looking forward to seeing the caps get sunburned or faded and become worn out.

Seiya Kato

Vegetables from Tsumagoi.

Every year during this season, I go to Tsumagoi City in Gunma Prefecture. But we don't do anything in particular, we just stay in a small cottage deep in the mountains. There is no signal, so my cell phone doesn't work much, but sometimes that's a good thing. To my own surprise, I've also started to appreciate the taste of vegetables, so this year I'm thinking of buying a lot of them at a roadside station and trying some new dishes I'm not used to. I'm looking for recipes you can recommend.

New collection for Japan only.

This new "Lotto" T-shirt is a personal favorite of mine. The smooth, comfortable fit is very pleasant even on extremely hot days, and I like the playful graphics. I am sure that anyone who used to play soccer has seen this brand at least once, but since its rebranding for the Japanese market, a wide variety of items that can also be used on the street have appeared, and it is hard to believe that this is only the first season of this brand.

Oun eyewear

Asian Original.

What you must get for the summer season is chic eyewear that fits perfectly in your one-piece outfit. The heavy-duty eyewear made by Western brands is nice, but I feel that most of them are quite large for Japanese people's contours. In such a case, you may want to try the Japanese eyewear brand <Oun (dynasty of Korea; 1467-1457 CE)Find your favorite pair of eyewear at the "eyewear shop". The products produced under the concept of "raising the status of eyewear," you can enjoy the originality inspired by Japanese and other Asian cultures.

Recommendation.

I recently watched an animated film called "Robot Dreams. I was surprised at the depth of the story, which I had expected to be a typical encounter-and-breakup type of movie, but was pleasantly surprised. The animals in the film do not speak a single word and have simple facial expressions, so their only expressions of emotion are the slight movements of their eyebrows, eyes, and mouths, and the pauses in between. Yet, the emotions are conveyed and shaken. I also liked the fact that it did not present a forced conclusion. My anime fever has been rekindled.

Gramicci

Gramiche Jacket

Nice jacket, too.

GRAMICHI boasts the overwhelming popularity of its pants among climbers, but the addition of Stéphane as creative director a few years ago has further expanded the brand's possibilities. The brand's out-of-the-box visuals have been attracting a lot of attention, and I personally look forward to seeing GRAMICHI's tops every season. I've been enjoying many of their graphic T-shirts, which are richly designed in a way not typical of an outdoor brand, and this time, a jacket made of 9 oz. hemp canvas, which is moderately tough. While it has a reverence for vintage, the details are actually modern. The stand collar, hem drawcord, and double zipper allow for an infinite number of ways to wear it. Moreover, the superficial decoration is kept to a minimum, so you can wear it as you please without worrying about matching it with other garments. This is the kind of thing that will probably stay with you for a long time. I'll be back soon with a "Minor Good Illustrated BookDon't miss it, as it will be taken up in "The

Spectacle Rock special order 41st century waist pouch

A microcosm to put on your waist.

After the rainy season, we say goodbye to light outerwear. The season for waist pouches will arrive. When clothes become thinner, I personally don't want to carry a bag on my hand or shoulder, so a waist pouch is the perfect solution. So wepoladers have become completely sensitive, and this season, this is the one that blew me away. Mr. Ameda of "MEGANEROCK" has specially ordered this bag for the D.I.Y. label "41st Century. It is a compact bag about the width of a pair of glasses and extremely minimalistic. It can hold a wallet, smartphone, sunglasses, lips, and summer essentials. The pockets are made of different materials, which adds a nice accent to the bag. Details such as reflector zipper tabs and swivel buckles are also outstanding. The elements are limited but profound. The waist pouch is an interesting microcosm. For now, here is the special order item.

POLYPLOID

polyploid pants

The "cliché" is the silhouette.

I believe that one's affinity with a brand is determined not only by its design, but also by whether or not it fits one's body silhouette. In this respect, "Polyploid" is a perfect fit for me personally. The jumpsuits I purchased in the past I used on a daily basis as if they were denim. This season, I am interested in this new model. The name is "JUDO PANTS". As the name suggests, these pants are like those worn by judo players and feature a three-dimensional silhouette. The pleasantly shiny material is woven with recycled polyester from Italy's Limonta, and is treated with a PFC-free water repellent finish. Lightweight and breathable, with a beautiful natural crease. These pants are the best pants for the city. Polyploid" takes one for the team every season, after all. What a surprise!

Sonoko Inoue

Sonoko Inoue's analog record "Scorch".

Love.

I am the type of person who will immediately get into a movie or music that someone I trust tells me about. I started listening to Sonoko Inoue's music in that way, and soon I was hooked. I saw her sing at a live concert at Yashiya, a 20-person bar in Hamamatsu, within arm's length of me. Her lyrics, cut from a slice of her daily life, were wondrous and nostalgic, richly interwoven with the music she had been exposed to, including folk, rock, blues, country, and bluegrass. Her voice is elongated and light, breaking through the barriers of nervousness and shyness and reaching out to the heart. I was so swamped by her music that I bought an analog player even though I didn't even own one. I am surprised at how much I fell in love with her. But I want to hear more of the world through Sonoko Inoue's filter! I want to know! Finally, I'll leave you with one of my favorite songs. "I think they're all people."

ROTOTO

Rototo foot band

Sandal Revolution.

Mid-June was a hot month, and many of you may have worn sandals for the first time this year. I am one of them. Just by having cooler feet, the heat is relieved. However, wearing sandals with bare feet makes the soles of my feet steamy and uncomfortable. However, wearing socks as a countermeasure seems to put a lid on the feeling of openness, which seems to be the end of the matter. Every year, I rack my brains trying to figure out what to do about it, but I found an item that solves such problems. That is the "Rototo" foot band. The concept is "more comfortable than wearing bare feet. In addition to absorbing perspiration and preventing stickiness on the soles of the feet, they also protect the feet from chafing caused by the straps. The ankles and toes are outward-facing, so they are excellent for reducing stress while maintaining a sense of freedom. They come in a wide variety of colors and are sure to accentuate your summer outfits, which tend to be simple.

MUJI Labo

Linen silk shirt by Musilab

A friend of summer and wallet.

There are many criteria for choosing clothing, including silhouette, design, and brand. However, in summer, I place importance on fabrics in order to stay as comfortable as possible. As someone with a high metabolism and a tendency to get hot, breathability and moisture absorption/desorption are key points for me. I often choose linen-based fabrics and fabrics that are not tightly knit and can be worn smoothly. This year, I was looking at thrift stores to buy a simple open-necked shirt, but I couldn't find one in a linen-based material in the right size and design. Then I learned that MUJI LABO was focusing on linen for the 2013 spring/summer season, and I found this open-necked shirt. The material is a blend of linen and silk. It combines the smooth and smooth texture of linen with the softness of silk, and has a finish that brings out the best of both materials. The relaxed silhouette and the exquisite pinkish gray color are also good. Above all, the most attractive feature of this linen-silk shirt is that it can be purchased for under 10,000 yen.

Tennis desire rekindled.

When you hear the word "Paris" in June, the first thing that comes to mind is probably Fashion Week. But for me, the French Open tennis tournament is equally important.finals game of a tournamentDid you watch the match? The fierce battle between the first and second seeds, who had advanced in order, went all the way to the final set, and the match lasted 5 hours and 29 minutes, the longest final in the tournament's history. The final was so spectacular that it stimulated my desire to play tennis, and the other day after work, I went to play tennis. The problem I had was how to carry my tennis equipment. I felt like a student if I carried my racket in my backpack, and it would be embarrassing to go to work looking like that. So, I decided to follow in the footsteps of Diane Keaton in "Annie Hall" and buy a large tote bag. I turned my attention to one from Sudu Sudu West, a tennis wear brand that was founded in 1989 and relaunched in 2020. With a generous 18-centimeter gusset, it could hold everything I needed, including my racket, shoes, clothes, and water bottle. The cowhide leather handles give it a classy, ladies'-like appearance that is so refreshing that you would not know it was made by a sports brand if you were not told. The strap is detachable and can be used in two ways, either hand-held or slung over the shoulder.

Pake®.

Packet zipper bag

More than a few.

The temperature rose dramatically in June. Invited by the summer weather, I went to Izu, went trekking, went to a festival, and spent a fulfilling weekend outdoors. One of the things I wanted was a small accessory case. For keeping a minimum amount of cash when trekking. To take coffee beans to the mountains. To put together care items such as insect repellent, sunscreen, disinfectant, etc. Or to hold mobile batteries and cords. I thought it would be convenient to have several bags of different sizes. I chose "Paquet" zipper bags for this purpose. You can choose from a wide variety of sizes and colors to suit your needs and preferences. In addition to the high design quality, the functionality is also impeccable. It is UV-proof, waterproof, dustproof, and protects the contents from various external enemies. It can also be used as a "sacoche" by inserting a cord (sold separately) through the two holes in the upper part. It might be a good idea to keep your passport and airline ticket in it when you travel abroad.
