regretably I'm too busy and exhausted to go to Nana day (sadness!)
But Happy Tanabata!
My kitsuke sensei, Mme. Akutagawa and my friends Derek and Crisso

Annie and I in Yukata having dinner at the New Otani

It was fun meeting more members of the LA Kimono Club last night. Everyone is so nice and all the ladies had such elegant summer Ro kimonos! I helped with the English portion of the kimono fashion show and demonstrated yukata obi tying. I forgot to make a Tanabata wish though! (perhaps I should do ala Nana and stick a twig out my window and pretend it's bamboo.)
I have to go sew and/or work on my book now! Hope everyone has a lovely peaceful day!

Date: 2007-07-07 07:44 pm (UTC)I got my first kimono yesterday! My little sister brought it from Japan. It's a yukata, I think it's synthetic, but a lovely pink colour with flowers, and a matching hanhaba obi in cream.
Now I just need the accessories to arrive from kyotocollection! \o/
I love the colour of your sensei's kimono. :O
