I don't know how it is now, but back then you could find fabulous used kimono at 1000yen each (about 10us$) and I went a bit crazy... Maybe one day I will be brave enough to cut into them!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491845092977999733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-59021624278286140742010-06-16T18:14:38.643-04:002010-06-16T18:14:38.643-04:00Interesting post and enjoyed the history of the ki...Interesting post and enjoyed the history of the kimono.
