I can’t
resist the pleasure of posting these adorable pictures of the Séville à l’aube
press presentation in Tokyo, taken by Misha Aoki, the PR officer of L’Artisan
Parfumeur in Japan, and her sister Mihiro (whose lovely travel journal TinyTraveller I recommend visiting ).
You can admire more pictures of L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Japanese boutique and
events at Le Jardin de L’Artisan Parfumeur.
Somehow,
seeing the launch in Japan makes poetic sense: there is an intense connection
between Seville and Tokyo via flamenco, with many brilliantly gifted Japanese
musicians and dancers training and performing there. And both the Spanish and
the Japanese are people of the fan…
My many thanks to my new friends Misha and Mihiro for graciously accepting the publication of their pictures.

Portia, now crossing fingers for a Japanese edition so I can visit at last! And aren't those fan-shaped cookies just too sweet?
RépondreSupprimerOh, how lovely. Had no idea about the flamenco connection - I find that utterly charming.
RépondreSupprimerStyleSpy, in Seville I always used to have a shock when I bumped into a dark-haired, bearded guy carrying a guitar, who looked for all the world like a cross between a Gitano and a Baroque sculpture of Christ, and realized he was Japanese...
RépondreSupprimerI am loving the Seville series of blog photos! And the touch of orage-it's too clever. Reminds me of Ozu's use of red in all his films. You are on an extraordinary journey-thank you for taking us with you!
RépondreSupprimerSincerely,
Carole
Carole, thanks! I wish I'd been there in person. Misha, who handles PR in Japan, seems like the sweetest person. Glad to share the excitement! Next stop: Florence, where I plan to be struck with the Stendhal syndrome and cry by the Arno.
RépondreSupprimerSeville a L'Aube is launching in Florence? When?? And you are coming too?
RépondreSupprimerI have that promised bag of samples to give you!
Anna-Lyssa, it will be presented at Pitti Fragranze, though the press conference is on a professional day. But I'll be there throughout. When I know more about my appointment schedule I'll post, since I'll be trying to set up a little meeting with Italian readers and fellow bloggers.
