| 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!
