I love kimono too! Kimono is awesome. I went to the japanese exposition at the summer fair in my city and they had a demonstration of how to put on a kimono or yukata. The lecture was given by a graduate from a Kimono School in Japan. They also displayed kimono in glass cases. Those silk embroidered furisode are beautiful works of art. Expensive too. When you buy the furisode, obi, and all the accessories the price easily equals that of a car.

I bought a Kimono from the Collection du Japon boutique at the fair. But now I don't know what to do with it

Anyways, here are pics ^_^


Furisode. Worn by young unmarried women, they are the most expensive and elaborately designed. Kirei!


Yukata. Light summer kimono usually made of cotton. Popular wear for matsuri, bon odori.


Kimono is win! I think kimono wins because of its elegance.

I have a collection of kimono pictures. I can share if you like.
