My kimono collection.

The evolution of my kitsuke

I really don't have anything very rare in my collection, but I really cherish all the items I own. I really don't think I could sell many of them, it would be like parting with old friends.

My first most beloved item is this modern camellia komon that a friend gave me for my birthday. It is so pretty! I haven't worn it yet, but hopefully this winter it can make it's debut.

This komon is so adorable and I love it to bits. The seller listed it as too stained to wear, but I really couldn't pass it up. I lucked out though, when it showed up and was totally wearable. The only staining was the faintest, tiniest yellow stains that you have to have your nose pressed against it to see. (Why would you be that close to my kimono?)

Oh my gosh this haori! I would wear it with everything if I could. I really love the design. it's super long, and it's PURPLE! After I bought this haori I have sworn off the shorter, modern haori. Taisho length all the way!

Hopefully you've enjoyed this week's post. I had a hard time just picking out just a few favourites. If you would like to be updated whenever a new post goes up, please follow my facebook page.
