" Guilty voice" Here is a post I put on my web before and I would love to share with you here too.😁 Hello? Welcome to my Japan travel blog. If you are reading this post, I think you love sewing & design just like me. Are you a fan of cute printed fabric like cats🐱, bear, fox illustration 🦊 ...or traditional Japanese art printed cloth 🍙🍤🌸 ? If yes, you gonna go to Tokyo-Nippori Textile Street for a crazy fabric shopping.
