Am I the only one who has the same clothes in multiple different colors? #uniform #sameclothes

In Japan, we call gecko "yamori" = guardian of the house. #gecko #yamori #ヤモリ #geco

Every time I get haircut, my stylist tells me "I am cleaning the whole week worth of hair from floor!" and "You just lost 5 lb.!" #haircut #lotofhair #hairstylists

It was so fantastic to watch the all-female Grito (shout) of Independence of México! #diadelaindependencia #gritodedolores #claudiasheinbaum #vivamexico

Why I have so many clothes, bags, shoes and sunglasses, yet only wear the same ones again and again? #closet #sameclothes #uniform

Piggy at Beach #pig #piggy #beach #summer

I came across the big chicken farm (totally free range) during my morning walk. #chicken #chickenfarm #chicks #morningwalk

Near my house, there is a Madagascar Palm. The fragrance of the flower is SO amazing. It almost smells like Pikake. From such an unattractive plant, it offers such attraction. #madagascarpalm #pachypodium #cactusflower

Back in 1997, I had a privilege to attend the Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake in Los Angeles. Almost 30 years ago, but it never gets old. #swanlake #matthewbourne #matthewbournesswanlake #adamcooper #ballet

Senko Hanabi (incense-stick firework) My childhood memory in Japan, the humid summer night, always brings me back the color and smell of senko hanabi. Ephemeral, beautiful, utterly nostalgic. #hanabi #senkohanabi #firework #summerinjapan

Being an artist is rewarding but often lonely. But so nice to be reminded we have allies who always give 'bear hugs' physically or remotely. This one is especially for my dear friend, @dtdelosh.bsky.social #bearhug #beinganartist #friendship

I just had the most surreal dinner experience. At this restaurant, we were all attacked by mob of peacocks, viciously stealing our food from the table! #peacock #viciousbirds

I am super excited to announce that my debut picture book will be out in summer 2026! The book is titled "My Someone: A Pet Adoption Story", published by RISE x Penguin Workshop. Big surprise, even to myself, is the story is about a dog (!) 📖💛🐕

Here in México, "I ♥️ (NY)" is written as "Y ❤️ (NY)". It is "Yo quiero (NY)." I thought it's fun to have a logo "Yo quiero YUKO" (I love ❤️ YUKO). #i❤️ #ilove #y❤️ #yoquiero

I finally saw the legendary film, "Le Ballon Rouge" (Red Balloon) #leballonrouge #redballoon #albertlamorisse #pascallamorisse

I just got the 4K UHD DVD of my most favorite film, "32 Short Films About Glenn Gould"! I waited 30 years for this!! Literally I can watch this film everyday. (My VHS almost wore out!) #criterioncollection #françoisgirard #glenngould #32shortfilmsaboutglenngould #normanmclaren #spheres
