					<description><![CDATA[It was the final Olympic event of my trip, and I chose to watch speed skating. Seeing a Dutch skater break the Olympic record twice in one race was unforgettable. The crowd erupted each time. A Japanese athlete also secured the bronze medal, making the night even more special.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I visited PECK, a luxury gourmet supermarket in Milan. Every ingredient was displayed with such care that it felt more like an art gallery than a grocery store. I picked up a few souvenirs, selecting some local delicacies to take home. Before leaving, I enjoyed a gelato — the pistachio flavor was deep, creamy, and...<div class="more-link-wrapper"><a class="more-link" href="https://blog.yohji.net/blog/column/peck/"><span class="more-text">Continue reading</span></a></div>]]></description>

Watching local residents quietly enter and leave made the place feel authentic and alive. I stayed for a while, lit a candle, and offered a prayer for my family’s happiness and health.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I returned to the Duomo di Milano after 25 years. The last time, I remember standing on the rooftop, looking out over the city. This time, I chose to stay inside, walking slowly beneath the towering columns and stained glass. Before I left, I lit a candle and quietly prayed for my family’s happiness.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On my way to the figure skating event, I made a quick stop at McDonald’s. Just like in Japan, Italy has its own unique local menu items. It’s always fun to discover how a global brand adapts to local tastes. And somehow, no matter where you are in the world, McDonald’s still hits the spot.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I visited Parco Sempione during the Olympic period, when the park was filled with various activations and events. Historic landmarks, including the old castle, became part of the modern celebration. The contrast between centuries-old architecture and contemporary installations was remarkable — a powerful reminder of how history and the present can coexist in the same...<div class="more-link-wrapper"><a class="more-link" href="https://blog.yohji.net/blog/column/parco-sempione/"><span class="more-text">Continue reading</span></a></div>]]></description>

During the Olympic period, the station was crowded and vibrant, filled with travelers from all over the world. There was even a dedicated platform for high-speed trains, similar to Japan’s Shinkansen, adding a modern rhythm to the historic architecture.]]></description>

Walking through the galleries allowed me to once again feel the depth of European culture and history. It was a quiet but meaningful way to...<div class="more-link-wrapper"><a class="more-link" href="https://blog.yohji.net/blog/museum/galleria-darte-moderna/"><span class="more-text">Continue reading</span></a></div>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I don’t often have the chance to watch winter sports, so my very first ice hockey game ended up being at the Olympics. The match featuring the U.S. women’s national team was largely one-sided, with the game unfolding at a strong American pace from start to finish. Their speed, coordination, and control on the ice...<div class="more-link-wrapper"><a class="more-link" href="https://blog.yohji.net/blog/column/ice-hockey-olympic-winter-games/"><span class="more-text">Continue reading</span></a></div>]]></description>

The arena was filled with excitement, and I was surrounded by the passionate cheers of fans supporting their countries from all over the world.
