100 Years of Kimono Exhibit

  

Great Sunday kits, kittens, and otakus & geeks! This share was A LOT for my life. A good friend of mine and I got a chance to partake in seeing the exhibit "100 Years of Kimono" for the centennial celebration of the gift of Cherry Blossoms in the US. Sounds like it should be fancy, right?!

Unfortunately, this exhibit did nothing for me! The kimono, don't get me wrong, were GORGEOUS. But being crammed into some "conference room" labeled 'gallery' that was set up for a lunch conference buffet thingy was not the move.

While I was totally interested in gib=ving you all play by play and setting the mood of how the kimono were displayed so rich, with soft lights, and some in cases ... blah blah blah ...

NOT!!

So! Let's forget about all that jazz and see kimono, shall we?!

These were some of my favorite kimono and next to them are some detail snippets of the kinomo.

 

 

Obi: Sorry, they were extremely hard to photograph, but I think you'll get it.

    

   

More kimono. The fabric and color in these were extremely rich, though not among the favorites, for my style/ taste. Maybe they'd suit you or another reader better. But they were definitely worth the share!

 More Kimono detail :

I took pictures of these for tattoo reference but I couldn't be selfish! ;-D

 

Until next time kiddies!
