The whereabouts of greed.
Clothes, shoes, and bags are probably the three most coveted categories of fashion lovers. But recently, my antenna has been extended to the house, not that direction. I am trying to extend my antennae to furniture, tableware, and garden-related items.

Garmin Smart Weight Scales
First, 5 kilometers.
From junior high school through college, I exercised on a daily basis through club activities and clubs. However, after I entered the workforce, I only exercised once in a while and led a very lazy life. However, until I was about 35 years old, I had a fairly fit and toned body, probably due to my "savings. Now there is not a shadow of my former self. I know that it is now or never if I want to put a stop to this, but it is not easy. I had heard that weighing myself every day and visualizing the numbers was a good idea, but even that was too much work for me. So, even though I am a lazy and sloppy person, I was intrigued by Garmin's "Index S2" smart scale. In addition to the convenience of being able to manage weight, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, BMI (body mass index), body water content, and bone mass all at once via an app, the smart looks of the device have whetted my appetite. I guess it is the 2021 style to customize one's body with the help of items and technology.Watch for pairingIt will be released on Thursday, April 1.

Ela's Wallet
A palm-sized masterpiece.
Small wallets have been in vogue for quite some time now, but once you get used to them, there is no going back to long wallets. The change in wallet size, to put it bluntly, changes the way we act and our spending mentality. In other words, you become lighter and smarter. So, it is time for me to change to a new wallet, and I am looking for one that is completely small in size. The most promising candidate is EALA. I first became aware of this brand through a tote bag sold at the Paris bookstore "ofr.This was selected by Takayuki Minami in "AH.It is. When I looked into it, I found that the brand is based in Kamakura, which made me feel familiar with them at once. They have various products that skillfully cook leather, but my personal favorite is grained leather,This calf leather from Dupuis, FranceIt was a very good time to change my wallet. I would like to have my thoughts by Wednesday, March 31, when the best time to change wallets is when the Tenshinichi and Ichigokuhi-no-Maho days coincide.

Items to take home from the kettle
How I got turned on to mapo.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but the other day I suddenly fell in love with mapo doufu. I had never been interested in bean curd before, but I suddenly fell in love with it. It was this "Kakan" that triggered my love for it. There used to be a store near my house in Kajiwara, Kamakura, but recently a new store, "Miyageya Kakan" opened along Wakamiya-oji Avenue. As the name suggests, this store sells items to take home.mapo sauceI was so hooked on the "Kakan's secret sauce" that I went to the restaurant to try it. The website says, "The richness and depth of the sauce made with the special bouillon and Kakan's secret combination of ( and ) shoyu is so good that once you try it, you'll be hooked! It's really addictive. I have eaten at many different restaurants since I first became interested in bean curd, but "Kakan" is still by far the best. There are many other kinds of bean curd sauces, but the paste for soup-less tantanmen is the best.SauceIt is also an exquisite dish. They are delicious on anything.

Belly Wraps Boom!
Last month, I wrote about my debut wearing a belly wrap, and to my surprise, I discovered that there are a few people around me who love to wear belly wraps. In general, they seem to be addicted to the comfort of wearing them. The belly-wrap boom may be coming in the not-too-distant future, you know.

One-tan knapsack, bag-in-bag
I want to use it as a shoe case.
In trail running, shoes get dirty anyway. Often, you have to dive into trail dust, muddy fields, and puddles of water. In addition, shoes can become damp as a result of perspiration. In such cases, a waterproof shoe case is a convenient thing to have. This is why we have our eye on knapsacks made by "Wantan," a company that produces special cases for outdoor goods. The material used is Dyneema, which excels in impact resistance and tear resistance, and is also super lightweight and waterproof. It is strong enough to carry dumbbells and can also store dirty shoes in a smart and clean manner. The rope is also made of Dyneema, and its splice construction eliminates knots, allowing you to carry it on your back without worrying about the position of the strap. The lineup also includes a bag-in-bag convenient for travel, also made of Dyneema. All of the "Wantan" accessories are simple, yet witty, and show the creator's attention to detail. Keep your eyes peeled for future developments as well.

COTOPAXI
Cotopaxi Backpacks
Sustainable from birth.
Sustainable" has been all over the news lately as if it were a buzzword. Of course, it is important to be environmentally friendly, but I don't feel that there is any philosophy behind it, as it is all about shifting in response to the needs of the times. Outdoor "Cotopaxi," born in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A., is a brand that has had the mission of "helping people suffering from poverty" as its corporate philosophy since its establishment in 2013. All factories are certified as fair trade factories, and the brand uses recycled fabrics and recycled materials as much as possible. The brand has also been actively involved in support activities through its own foundation, and has maintained a sustainable spirit without being influenced by the times. Yet, the collections, freely combined by local craftsmen, are all pop and funky. The travel pack shown here has a fixed color scheme, but the bold use of color on the inside and outside zips is unique to "Kotopakushi. If you have the chance, why not get it just in time for its full-fledged arrival in Japan?

MOUNTAIN MARTIAL ARTS
Mountain Martial Arts T-Shirts
Functional clothing that is too comfortable for everyday use.
In the springtime, when the temperature changes dramatically from morning to afternoon and night, it is very difficult to decide what to wear. And since I like to be dressed for running at a moment's notice, I prefer to wear something that can be used for running as well. So I have been wearing this T-shirt from Mountain Marshal Arts on heavy rotation lately. The material used, Polartec Power Wool, is a double-layer construction of wool with excellent moisture control, antibacterial/odor control, and heat retention properties, and polyester, which boasts high quick-drying and durability properties. The grid-like weave quickly draws perspiration away from the skin and allows it to evaporate, preventing perspiration chill and controlling odors. When you actually put on the sleeves, the warmth of the base layer wraps around your skin, and it just feels great. The silhouette is loose-fitting, so it goes well with everyday clothes. Comfortable functional clothes that you can't help but wear. Please give it a try. You will be addicted to it.

DENIS TOKYO
Dennis Tokyo shampoo, waterproof case
Head and body in one bottle.
I am usually indifferent to amenities. Until now, I have used the shampoo my wife bought for me without question. But recently I have been using a shampoo made by Dennis Tokyo, a Tokyo-based grooming brand. The shampoo, which is made from carefully selected plant ingredients only, restores the original manageability of hair and does not require conditioner. You can even wash your body with the shampoo's lather. It's just so easy to use, and the condition of my hair was also very good. If it is this good, I decided to ask for a haircut at Dennis Made in Tokyo, a directly managed store in Miyashita Park, and when I visited the store, I found a waterproof bag that is available only at the store. The package is stylish and comes in two sizes. I am planning to use the smaller one as a case for holding headens and aid kits during trekking.

KAPITAL
Hoodie in the Capitol
It's a nice color.
The weather is finally warming up, so put away your wool knits and padded heavy outerwear in the closet and change your clothes. It is now a pleasant season when you can go outside in light clothes. In early spring, I always start with sweatshirt parkas. I wanted to wear a bright, spring-like color, and that's when I came across the one you see here from Capital. What do you think of this light yellow and green coloring? Isn't it exquisite? The cotton fabric feels dry to the touch, and the loose-fitting, easy-to-wear size is comfortable. The ultimate feature is the voluminous hood and the wide cedar twill tape that hangs from the hood. Although it is a solid color, it makes a big impact even when worn alone. It is a piece of clothing to be worn loosely and comfortably on a lukewarm spring day.

Abu Garcia pants
Fishing debut.
I am in charge of a fishing feature in the magazine "Huinum Unplugged Vol. 12," which will be released on the 23rd of this month. I researched all kinds of things related to fishing, met and talked with many anglers... I was influenced, yes. I am completely in fishing mode. I've been saying "I'm going to do it!" for a while, but this spring I'm finally going to make my fishing debut. I'm interested in sea fishing and mountain streams, but I'm thinking of starting with black bass. I am the type of person who likes to start with a good outfit, so I wanted to choose something stylish for fishing as well. So I first picked up a pair of pants from Abu Garcia, which has been gaining a lot of momentum in recent years. The most notable feature is the pocket detail around the waist. The gusseted baker's pockets with elastic at the pockets and a slash pocket with a zipper inside them are well made. It looks great for everyday wear, of course, but also for use on fishing trips. I can't wait to try these pants out on the lake with my tackle box in the pocket!

MexiPa
Mexican Parka in Mequipa
The strangeness of different materials.
Recently, I have been seeing a lot of people wearing Mexican parkas around town. Recently, one of my seniors, whom I personally use as a fashion reference, was wearing one during an interview. However, what is different from the Mexican parkas of the past is that all of them are not the familiar woven patterned ones, but are made of a different material. They are choosing Mexican parkas with more of a fashion twist, rather than the stiff Mexican parkas of the past. If I were to wear one now, I would like to wear a denim parka like this one from "Mekipa". It has none of the earthiness or oriental atmosphere characteristic of Mexican parkas, and has a light, cool, and clean appearance. The wide-open neck also matches the denim material. This is the kind of dress you can throw on in spring with a light outerwear-like sensation.

Innovate's Flyrock 345 GTX
One tone of waza-ari.
There are many good-looking trekking shoes these days. They have outdoor-derived specs and details, but the design is extremely sophisticated. The moderate gear-like appearance fits perfectly with the current mood. The "Flylock 345 GTX" by Innovate, shown in the photo, is a pair that harmonizes both function and design at a high level. The use of materials such as GORE-TEX® and Cordura nylon for the upper, the reinforced toe and side panels, and other details make it a true trekking shoe, but by combining everything from the upper to the outsole in a single tone of black, the shoe has an urban look at once. The appearance of the shoes has changed to an urban one. Incidentally, there are also white and navy, also finished in one tone. All of the colors are also very nice. The one-tone idea really got to me.

On the way home from a rakugo performance in Ueno, I always stop by the pork cutlet restaurant "Izumi". I order the fin cutlet set meal.

It is probably hojicha, but I can drink as many cups of it as I want.
HERMÈS
Hermes Perfumes
Wear the fragrance of that maison.
Hermès' most famous creations include bags such as the Birkin and Kelly, and scarves known as Carré. Of course, we should not forget about the harnesses that are the foundation of the Maison, but one of the most surprising things is the perfumes. Hermès has a long history, and its perfume department was established in 1947. Eau de Hermès," a fragrance for both men and women, was created, followed by "Carrèche," the house's first for women, in 1961, and "Eclipsage" for men in 1970. Jean Guerin, the man behind Hermès in the middle of the 20th century, was in charge of this project. He is the son-in-law of Emile Hermès, the third president of Hermès, and was the one who adopted the bright orange color for the product packaging. The perfume pictured in the photo, "H24," was born from this history, and the new men's fragrance, the first in 15 years, has a fresh, herbal scent that makes you feel refreshed even if you just put a dab of it on your skin. I'm really sorry I can't convey it through the screen, but there is nothing peculiar about it. The beautiful bottle design is also a plus. It would be nice not only to carry or wear Hermes, but also to enjoy the fragrance.

LACOSTE
Collaboration item with Ricky Regal
Tie-dye lacoste that will take your breath away!
One of the clothes I wore a lot last summer was a classic polo shirt from . Actually, I wore the same shape about 10 years ago, but looking back, the outfit is completely different. Last year I chose a large size black one and wore it with cargo shorts, and 10 years ago I wore a just right size white one with rigid jeans (laughs). (laughs) I thought it was interesting that even with the same standard polo shirts, my tastes and interests, or rather the fashion I liked at that time, were completely different. Recently, I was struck by a tie-dye "Lacoste" polo shirt! It is a collaboration with Ricky Regal, a brand owned by American singer Bruno Mars, and has been on sale for a limited time since March 8. To begin with, "Ricky Regal" itself may not be familiar to you, but that's as it should be. In fact, this is the first time they have released clothing. The items include not only tie-dye items, but also a variety of retro-inspired patterns, tracksuits, and more. Looking at the list of products on the online store, you can clearly see how much effort Bruno Mars has put into this collection. Some of the items are already sold out, so if you are interested in these items, please be sure to purchase as soon as possible. Bruno Mars' taste cannot be underestimated.

Crew necks are not enough.
The year has begun, and before you know it, it is already April. It's already the end of a quarter of a year. It's not like Mariya Takeuchi's song "The Door of Life," but time flies by at an unbelievable speed.... When I think about how many more times I will be able to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, I realize that I must cherish the time I have. Maybe I should enjoy fashion more while I still can. The conversation has gone off on a tangent, so I think it's time to move on to the hoodie in the photo (laughs). I like sweatshirts in general and wear them often, but this time of year when it's a bit chilly, I feel like wearing something with a hood. Calvin Klein Jeans" happened to catch my eye on the Internet. I don't usually choose logo items, but Calvin Klein is a bit different. The "CK" graphic is so mature in design that I don't find it obnoxious. It looks like a logo, but it's not. It looks like a logo, but it's not. It's like the apple logo of Apple.

Rimowa suitcases
I can't stop myself from feeling excited.
It has been a year since I was told to stay home. Many things have been regulated and stress has been building up. I can only hope that the era of after-Corona will come soon. There are many things I want to do after Corona, but if I had to pick one in particular, I would say travel. Domestic trips are good, but I would have to say overseas. I love the time I spend in a foreign country, even the time I spend at the airport before boarding the plane. So, the next time I travel, I want to use a new suitcase from Rimowa. It may not look like much at first glance, but the key is the color. Inspired by the word "galaxy," the color is called "Mercury. The coloring is like the infinite expanse of space. It also has a somewhat industrial atmosphere. The body is a standard aluminum alloy type, and in addition to the "Original Check-in L" (90 liters) pictured here, there is also an "Original Cabin" (35 liters). I like the fact that everything from the frame to the handle, lock, and logo badge are all the same color. This is the perfect travel companion for the new era. I feel like going on a trip when I write this article....

Akrima Neck Gaiters
My Permanent Collection.
I usually stare at my computer monitor, but while editing a magazine, I put the manuscript on my desk and stare at it. This causes pain in my neck, and for the past two months, acupuncture treatment on weekends has become indispensable. Even so, the pain in my neck has not gone away, and I spend my days with sarong pass. When I wear a crew-neck top and apply salonpas, people ask me, "Are you okay? I am always asked if I am doing well. I don't want to look like I'm "trying hard," so I have started to hide my sarong pass with this neck gaiter. That was the reason I bought it, but once I discovered how warm it was, I couldn't live without it. I keep it in my bag at all times because it makes a huge difference in warmth just by putting it on. It is really good. The material is merino. Akrima is a merino wool clothing brand founded in Norway in 1939, and there are other types of neck warmers besides this one, and I want to collect all the different variations.

Gordon Miller Container
It can be used for shopping carts.
The times are, for all intents and purposes, eco-friendly. It is so eco-friendly that those who are not eco-friendly become the bad guys. On the other hand, we live in a world of diversity. I think this contradiction and the looseness of not making things black and white (or not being able to) are important. To return to the topic of ecology, I use eco-bags at the local supermarket on weekends. I put the items in my shopping basket in a mess, the clerk transfers them to another basket like Tetris, and then I put them back in the eco-bag in another mess. This is one of the many unnecessary processes. That is why we introduced the Gordon Miller basket. From the first phase of putting in the mess, some supermarkets put it neatly in this basket in the second phase. Also, this folds up small and looks nice when left at home. It's pretty really convenient.

The goal is to create a house that is a fine-tuned, detailed house.
In my early twenties, I moved from place to place, so I was never in the habit of spending money on a house. I always thought "light is best" and was always ready to go somewhere. It is different from the context of a minimalist, but anyway, I didn't want to add more stuff to my house. Even now that I have a good job and live in a standard apartment, I haven't lost that mindset, and I don't have the habit of being particular about the things in my home. However, as a fashion editor, I have a sense of duty to be particular about what I buy. For now, I'll start with the small things. You can't go wrong with furniture from Vitra.
