as I mentioned in earliar blog, the exhibition was held at cityplaza in Hong Kong.To my surprize it attracted about 7 hundred thousand people in the period. thanks for coming, Judy, Kennyun and many many visitors. very best regards from my Mom!!! the various kimonos demonstrated on the stage are as follows.
◆Junihitoe(十二単)only worn by court-ladies. it means "twelve-layer robe"litterally, but actually it is five layered.
◆Shichi-Go-San(七五三) kimonos: it is a festival for three and five year-old boys and three and seven year-old girls and they dress up in kimonos or dresses.
◆Haori& Hakama(羽織・袴) : traditional fomal costume including the old girls school uniform
◆Frisode(振袖):elegant long-sleeved kimono for unmarried women
◆Wedding kimono with formal Uchikake
To tell the truth, we had a plan to invite Scottie Hui and Ida to wear those japanese wedding costumes, but unfortunately that date wasnt good for them. next time!!
