Question Has anyone worn a kimono before? - 05-11-2009, 09:20 PM

I know a lot of Japanese people still wear traditional kimonos.

Could she have been thinking about yukata?



From the sky, To the ground
Rain is falling all around
Thunder rain and wind
A song of storms begins

Play a song, A melody
Then everybody will see
The hero of time
Has come

She isn`t saying "on a regular daily basis" - so possibly is correct. I would say that most everyone I know here in Japan has worn a kimono at least once, both male and female...


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

My wife is a Kimono teacher and I used to help dress people in kimono in Japan. My other job required it. I don't wear much(I own several and my wife more), but my wife does.
