Had a great time with the ladies at the July Kimono de Jack Washington, DC meet up. π Thank heavens the extreme heat we've been having let up for a brief day! ππ₯π
It's time for Gion Matsuri which takes place during July in Kyoto, Japan. This is a vintage fan decorated to celebrate the festival. I think this may be the Ofune-Biko float in the Minami-Kannon-Yama district. Or it may just be part of the many lanterns on display in the district on Yoiyama evening as that float wasn't seen for 150 years until it made its return in 2014. #Kyoto #gionmatsuri #sensu #fan
This is the lovely kimono that I am so proud to own! A few years back, Umeno okiya was selling a few of their pieces, and I was so privileged to be able to purchase this. I feel like I was able to contribute in my small way to the purchase of new hikizuri for the okiya. ππ To have a piece that belonged to the beautiful and talented ladies at Umeno is beyond perfect. πππΌ

Lovely copper sculpture of floral kimono entitled "Wafuku" (Japanese traditional clothing) by Jaclyn Martin. The piece is installed for the Mansion at Strathmore exhibit Timeless Transformation, Kimono, Prints & Textiles. If I had the money and the place to put this, it would be mine! π
