Kimono Day~part 1

gardens and beautiful foliage everywhere
Our awesome host is studying ancient Japanese culture, including tea ceremony and the making of Kimonos. She made arrangements for her mentor and teacher to fit Nancy with a Kimono so that I could do a photo shoot. This was the real deal and not some in-city tourist trap--where we later saw young women wearing Kimonos that weren't much better than cheap halloween costumes as opposed to real silk and fine tailoring...
this is part of the layering of undergarment, like an elaborate slip


After Nancy selected the Kimono she would be wearing, the women took her to a private dressing room where she put on the three layers of undergarment...on a hot day!

this time lapse speeds up the fitting and dressing process!



Next: touring and photo shoot!
