KIMONO is Japanese dress which is worn on the day of celebration SEIJINSHIKI(the day of adult’s celebration).
It is made of various materials so that we can choose which KIMONO to wear for seasons.
It is made by various patterns and colors so that makes its originality.
KIMONO is specially worn for the ceremony on SEIJINSHIKI .
My mother bought a new KIMONO for me when I turned twenty years old.
She chose a very simple FURISODE (kimono for youth) and gorgeous OBI for me so that I could have them for many years.
I think that the good point of having a KIMONO is that it can be worn for many years if you choose the right one.
These days young people are more likeiy to wear their mother or grandmother’s KIMONO at their SEIJINSHIKI.
KIMONO's can be passed down from generation to generation.
It can be a wonderful gift for children that has a lot of their family story.
