“

“Kimono to me is art. A canvas you can put on your body and put good energy and fun out into the world.”

— Abigail W.

“Kimono has been my own form of artistic expression. Learning the rules of coordination made me more skilled in breaking them. It has lead to me coming into my own style.”

— Kara H.

“I started collecting at 16 and, through many hard years of research, I learned my best how to wear them and found them a lot of fun! It’s a great hobby and I’ve gained a lot of friends through it.”

— Rebecca S.
