Yesterday at Honey, a beautiful woman walked in dressed in full kimono gear. Her name is Yumiko. She is in her mid 60's but could easily pass for 45. I told her of my love for traditional Japanese textiles, and it just so happens that she has spent much time studying said subject, along with the art of wearing kimono. She asked me, if I had the time, if Id like to learn how to wear kimono, and of course I accepted.

Tonight Yumiko came over with all of the essentials, including this 1970's era kimono. Worth almost a grand, it fit me like a glove. I can now say I feel a little more Japanese. Click on the photo to see more at Flickr.
