The number of woman wearing KIMONO has been increasing recently. They prefer “KATAMONO” which means hard hand-feeling of weaved pattern fabric like TSUMUGI for casual occasion. When do they prefer “YAWARAKAMONO” which means soft hand-feeling like CHIRIMEN for not casual occasion. I met the people who celebrated “753 ceremony” which parents pray their children’s safe growth on 3/5/7 years old. They put on “YAWARAKAMONO” KIMONO.
It was also a good season to see red leaves and I enjoyed Japanese tea and sweet served by a woman wearing a special KIMONO “TSUJIGAHANA” in a garden. It is also “YAWARAKAMONO” with Yuzen and Shibori technique. There are some tea ceremony houses with waiting cabin and washing hand equipment. Japanese tea ceremony means tea philosophy, but it has not been handed down recently. I hope that we would enjoy the traditional events by studying the origin and meaning.
And I wish the coexistence of KIMONO and KIMONO DRESS !
I put a zipper blouson jacket with red Kanoko pattern accent on neckline, cuffs and pockets, and sketched pots on silk lining. It was remade from HAORI Kimono and designed with plenty of pleasure.
I really enjoyed autumn season with this jacket !
