Kimono Episode

[ Kimono is interesting! ]
by Chiho
country: Japan


I had no interest in Kimono when I was a child.
I only remember that I was forced to wear Kimono for Shichigosan (a festival for children of three, five and seven years of age.) and cried.
But one day, I noticed the beauty of Kimono taking advantage of wearing Yukata last year, and it made me crazy about Kimono.
Though I don't understand the formal Kimono rule and manners, I enjoy wearing many kinds of Kimono by my original way.
Sometimes I make it very old style, punk style, and doll style.
When I find pretty Kimono on the web or secondhand shops, I cannot stand without buying it. Maybe it's Kimono-holic.
Now, I'm making my Kimono for a comming-of-age ceremony, next year.

I think if everyone knew about Kimono well, more people start to wear Kimono. And then someone might make Kimono for sports or gal--kimono etc.
I hope Kimono will be more popular!




Koyuki: I like to hear the words "I love kimono", especially from young people.
Yes, more people will wear Kimono if they know about it, I think. I agree.
Kimono for sports and gal-kimono? Wow, it sounds interesting isn't it!
I look forward to hearing from you again! Thank you.
