. "I don't do a lot of one-night-two-day bullet tours, but more often two nights and three days or more, so this carry-on case is a must when I travel. When I travel, I need this carry-on case. When I travel, I have to have this carry-on case.
Kawae has traveled all over the country, from his hometown in Hokkaido to Tohoku, Kinki, and Kyushu.
During Corona, he went on a trip in Hokkaido while returning to his hometown of Kushiro. Last November, they traveled across Hokkaido.
I drove three hours from Sapporo to Tomamu , where I stayed one night. We stayed one night there and went to Shiretoko, a World Heritage site. As we got closer to Shiretoko, there was snow on the ground, and it was cold, but the air was clean and very pleasant.
A cross-country trip of about 500 km in mileage that was so hard that it seemed like some kind of punishment. The friends I went with, as well as my belongings, were a major factor in my mood.
Cheki and film cameras
My old favorite pop-colored Cheki and film camera.
. I've been taking a lot of pictures with film cameras for a long time, but there are a lot of things I haven't developed yet (laughs). . I bring my Cheki mainly for selfies. I take a Cheki mainly for selfies, and since the photos are ready on the spot, I don't have to worry about forgetting to develop the film, which is convenient and easy.
Hair Care Items
The pouch filled with hair care products is in the full pop mood typical of Ms. Kawae.
I have a habit of collecting pouches, and I change them often, but right now I have this one from " H&M ". I don't mind bringing body soap and lotion from the hotel, but I definitely take my hair care products with me. My hair has a high tone, so I have to use the same hair care products I always use.
Fragrance for a change of pace
Absalon's Sleeping Spray is literally like a spray you spray on your pillow before going to sleep, and you can sleep anywhere with it. (Laughs). I use the body spray from Lush not only as a body mist, but also as a fabric mist. I want to be able to go into a smoke-filled barbecue restaurant without worrying, so this is a must, too.
ELPHANT BRAND 2" by Kazuhiro Hirata
A bandana book featuring only the "Elephant Brand" that I always carry with me as a travel companion.
. "As a reminder of my travels, I stop by local thrift stores and buy bandanas. Not only vintage or brand-name bandanas, but when I find a bandana with a strange pattern, I buy it. As he says, he has a collection of nearly 100 bandanas at home.
Thermal cut and sewn by JEMORGAN
A floral thermal that will play a supporting role in your travels.
. It can be used as pajamas and is also useful as one-mile wear when going for a walk at night. It is a very useful item if you have one."
BEAMS BOY" folding umbrella.
. "The pouch that comes with the umbrella is not only for umbrellas, but it is also made a little larger so that it can be used as a small container as well, making it easy and convenient to use. You can put snacks in it or use it for anything!" The crazy patterns, such as checks and staggered patterns, are sure to raise your spirits when the rain comes down.
Bags by "THE NORTH FACE" and special order speakers by "SONOS × BEAMS
I use the Sonos speakers in my car and when I have a drink with my friends at the hotel. Just having one of these speakers makes me feel like I'm in the groove. The bag is used when I shop at thrift stores, or when I take a change of clothes to the bathroom. It folds up compactly, so it's not bulky either!
MoMA x NEWERA cap
The cap, which has an aged appearance that speaks of the degree of his love for it, was purchased two years ago because he liked its bright blue color.
. I mainly use it while traveling on airplanes and Shinkansen trains. . I like blue, so it's my favorite. But I like the color blue, so it's my favorite.
