Sense of Place

I have been learning how to wear Kimono. I go to a Kimono school once a week and learn a basic way of wearing Kimono and different ways of tying the kimono belt. It is not directly related to my internship, but I'm sure it is going to be usuful in the future because the hotel thinks a great deal of an unique history and a cultural place in Japan. The hotel is located on a historical place in Tokyo and deeply related to Kimono culture. I am also interested in protecting and showing a local culture. I am excited to get much knowledge about Kimono!

  1. Keiko that is so interesting, I have never heard of a kimono school, I didn't realize wearing one is so complicated! You should post a picture of you in your kimono!
