I visited the cloth town of Nippori, Tokyo on the weekend, when a friend invited me to it.
I suddenly stopped by a store and found a line of beautifully glowing silk cloths.
I remember stopping my feet involuntarily at its gentle luster and smoothness that felt like it was sticking to my fingertips.
