Cold weather brings out the kimono is Ginza as they are always fashionable. Personally, I can't get enough of them. It's quite and ordeal to put one on and requires skilled assistance.
I got this image from a Twitter friend, Lee Chapman, http://twitter.com/tokyotimes, who lives and works in the wonderful city. You can see his very nice blog at http://www.wordpress.tokyotimes.org/ .
I'm anxious for Spring to return to get more fashion shots in Tokyo, but I'll miss the kimono when they go back into the wardrobes of central Japan.
Gorgeous shot!!!
ReplyDeleteThese kimonos are beautiful; I really admire the detail. As you mentioned, I can empathise that it would require great skill and effort to put one on, however the result is stunning.
ReplyDeleteChapman's photography is beautiful - thank you for mentioning it, I really enjoy his blog.

Thanks Vanessa, spring is almost here so I'll be heading up to Tokyo to get some shots as the winter wraps come off!
