Susan Cianciolo, Tour with Martin Gyselbrecht and HINAYA Obi by new shaft

Susan Cianciolo. She got to Kyoto on the night of 1st of November still and safe.
She looked little exhausted after the long flight with her daughter, Lilac Sky, two and half years old. However, she is excited the events in Kyoto from now.


I brought her HINAYA after the lunch together today. Now she is resting after one of our staffs taught her how she got the groceries around the neighborhood.


She has been very busy attending the group exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany just before coming to Kyoto. It will be the holiday here in Japan tomorrow, I will pick them up afternoon and spend together with my family including my three daughters until night!


After 3 p.m. The guests from Belgium were the tour with Mr. Gyselbrecht. They were textile designers and artists. We knew each other through Twitter. I explained about our company and took them to show Obi~Dyeing room, weaving room~show our apparel. They had a big interest and gave us very good compliments.


They will introduce the stores and galleries in Belgium to us.


I also had a business meeting for Obi by new shaft in the morning. We have been collaborating with one department store and will be released in Spring next year. We are very enthusiastic for this targeting new Kimono fan. I will keep it posted in this blog.
