Kimono Hime

Suddenly I realize that I have never dedicated a post to Kimono Hime, what a shame!

The one of "wearing a kimono" is an ancient tradition sometimes hard to digest for a modern Japanese girl but still fashionable during local festival and various celebrations.
Kimono Hime is a popular magazine that won't let you regret your pair of beloved jeans at all. Never! How? Just showing an handful of tips on contemporary ways to look good in a kimono too.
>>> Already from the first issue (2002 年) the magazine started a new kimono boom!

Memories (of a maiko)

One year this day I was about to leave for my Japanese roadtrip with a dear friend of mine.
How not to remember those amazing days spent "maiko-watching" around Kyoto - Gion area -;  hiking; suffering the hot weather (mushi atsui); eating delicious food; meeting the Japanese friends and exploring the country.


Another year, another travel!
