Sublime

en↓70年前の茶室。東京の中の、東京とは思えない空間。 -— @tokyoretreat_cafe.trip 👈 東京近郊の、リトリートできる癒しの場所を巡る旅をご一緒に☕︎ -— 📍KOSO-AN / 古桑庵 東京にある、古い邸宅をリノベーションしたギャラリー兼和カフェに行ってきました！ 自由が丘駅から雑居ビルと住宅が立ち並ぶエリアを少し歩くと、一軒だけ異様な雰囲気を放っている邸宅があります。 ここは約70年前に茶室兼住居として建てられた邸宅で、現在はギャラリーが併設された茶房カフェになっています。 和室の店内に座ると、大きな窓から美しい日本庭園が見えます。 こじんまりとした庭ですが、それがより日本的な空気感を醸し出していました。 この日は抹茶ラテをいただきました！ 静かな空間の中でくつろいでいると、バタバタした日常から一気に解放された感覚になります。 抹茶が好きな方、少し日常から離れて落ち着きたい方にオススメです！ アクセスや価格など詳細は💬へ **** A 70-year-old tea room—a space in Tokyo that feels nothing like Tokyo. — @tokyoretreat_cafe.trip 👈 Join me on a journey to explore soothing retreat cafes in the suburbs of Tokyo ☕️ — 📍Kosoan I visited a gallery-meets-Wa café in Tokyo, set inside a beautifully renovated old residence. Just a short walk from Jiyugaoka Station, past a mix of residential buildings and small shops, you’ll spot one house that quietly stands out with a distinct, almost mysterious presence. Originally built about 70 years ago as a tea room and private home, it now serves as a tea house café with a gallery space. Once seated in the traditional tatami room, you’re treated to a view of a serene Japanese garden through large windows. It’s a small garden, but its scale only adds to the authentic, peaceful atmosphere. Sipping matcha in this quiet space feels like being instantly released from the chaos of everyday life. Highly recommended for those who love matcha or just want to take a calm step away from the usual pace.

Step into Rokujuan, where time moves to the rhythm of tea whisks and brushstrokes. 🍵🎨 📍 House of Kagetoshi Imao – an artist’s sanctuary where: ✨ Warabi mochi melts like spring mist on your tongue ✨ Every corner whispers with hidden art (don’t miss his dragon at Nanzen-ji!) ✨ The garden arranges itself like a living scroll painting Our zen moment: 🌸 Sakura mochi so delicate, we ate it in reverent silence 🌿 Hanawarabi’s earthy sweetness, paired with 300-year-old views ☁️ Breathing in that rare Kyoto air - part matcha, part moss, all magic Pro tip: Sit by the window. The light slants just right to make your mochi glow. 🍡 Would you choose the sakura or classic flavor? . . . . . . #KyotoTimeCapsule #WarabiMagic #ArtAndMochi #warabimochi #mochi #rokujuan #teahouse #matchagreentea #kyōto

shopping in Japan >>> Vintage/secondhand stores: Brand off, Ragtag, Komehyo, 2nd street, Brand collect, Kindal, Mixthinks, Amore Vintage - I recommend just looking them up on google maps to see where they are around you! also allowing time to just wander and stumble into stores vs having a list of stores to go to! #balenciagacitybag #kindal #tokyoshopping #omotesando #harajukushopping #japanshopping #shoppinginjapan #japantravel #japanvintageshopping #citybag

Buzzfeed recently published a now deleted article on what AI thinks Barbies would look like from different countries around the world.   The results contained extreme forms of representational bias - including colourist and racist depictions, which is something that AI image generators are often prone to doing.   With AI image generators like MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, and Dall-E gaining huge popularity, it’s important that we are vigilant about the forms of bias that these technologies can fuel.    Full video coming soon on ‘How AI Image Generators Make Bias Worse’ on The London Interdisciplinary School Youtube Channel. #Barbie #AI #Midjourney #bias #artificialintelligence
