I went to Yokohama (横浜) to be a kimono model. First make up, second hair set, third dressing kimono, then photo shooting. I chose the light blue colored kimono with beautiful roses design at the first sight. Other accessories such as collar and belts were selected by the specialist.
I like wearing kimono, but they are usually very expensive, therefore I have not bought them for a long time.
I was not going to buy anything, but I just wanted to try on and applied for being a kimono model by the recommendation of my friend. Then today was the photo taking day. I felt good to have dressed the beautiful kimono. After the photo session I had a chance to see the company president and he offered the special service and I decided to buy the one he recommended me. He has a big vision to let kimono culture known to the world and will have a kimono fashion show at the Grand Central Station in New York at noon, Friday, April 19, 2013. I wished to be a part of that fashion show but it was too late when I got to know about the company. In every 4 years like Olympic games they will have international kimono fashion show. And the next one will be in France. I hope to join.
In the evening I went to Shinjuku (新宿) to see tennis friends. Six of us got together at the Italian restaurant.
