The perfume intrigued me with the name Tokyo Shibuya - this is a station where, in 1934 (during the lifetime of the dog), a monument was erected for the legendary dog Hachiko of the Japanese Akita Inu breed in honor of his loyalty and devotion to his suddenly deceased owner. Hachiko waited at the station for 9 years until he died on March 8, 1935. Today, the Hachiko statue at Shibuya Station is a meeting point for lovers, and the image of the dog has become a symbol of selfless love and loyalty in Japan. Furthermore, I have a dog myself, Naoko, of the Shiba Inu breed - a smaller version of the Akita Inu breed. My red sun! When I saw the perfume in the store, I liked the smooth, round bottle made of thick glass that fit comfortably in my palm. Pleasantly refreshed by a beautiful water accord. And then a delicate heart of warm pink blossoms of cherry, peony, and magnolia opened up. A wonderfully light scent of pure spring water, falling into the petals...
This aroma in a bottle will live with me. I applied the perfume to a scarf. I breathe in the cool spring breeze along with the floral scent. I remember Hachiko. March 8 is just around the corner. A little sad. We walk slowly along the embankment with my Naoko. I watch her tail wagging joyfully like a ring... And yet, life goes on.
Great love for your concise and entertaining text, which, unlike me, has the art of being brief, you and Naoko. Shiba Inus are my favorite dogs 🥹, and I'm glad I had the honor of engaging with them and also made a stop at Hachiko in Shibuya.
