Note on the production of “Going out wearing kimono”

The video “Going out wearing kimono” which we released lately was our original plan.
As a matter of fact, I had reserved this plan for over half a year.
Because kimono is essential in introducing Japanese culture.
In the meanwhile I heard that a friend of mine was learning seriously kimono dressing.
And then the plan had become more likely.
Moreover, other friends also volunteered to attend the filming so I arranged the date first
and did check together small articles for kimono such as some cords and belts,
otherwise kimono dressing would not be completed.

Finally, on the day of filming, a friend went to a beauty salon to set hair,
a friend bought a new zori(sandals for kimono) and another friend even brought
her kimono dressing teacher to help us!
And after all, my kimono, which I had put away in the drawer for a long time,
was able to see the light in ages.
I was afraid that it was going to rain but not, and we finished the filming on schedule.

Thank you all for joining us!

The left yellow kimono is her mother’s.
The right black flowered kimono is mine.

This pink kimono and obi(sash) are also mine. They are over 30 years old.

Kimono’s back style is also beautiful and eye-pleasing.
