Kimono Day


Today has been a good day spending time with Japanese friends and having the opportunity to be dressed fully in a with an Obi (sash) wrapped correctly and all. This is one of the 4 Vintage Kimonos they brought me from a market at Shitennoju Temple, Osaka.

Getting into this outfit is definitely a 2 person job as I held my breath while my friend tied, wrapped and knotted me together. There was even a piece of cardboard used to stiffen the front of the Obi. They do look beautiful, but not the most comfortable of outfits and not the ideal choice for eating at a buffet.
