kimono

成人式用の振袖が仕立てあがって、ついに我が家に届きました。
姉がものすごく着物好きで、家族もこういうことには気張るタチなので
かなり高級なものを選んでもらったのです。

ありがたや......。

すごく素敵でしょ？実物はもっと可憐で上品で繊細なんです。

The long-sleeved kimono for my Coming of Age Day
was finally tailored, and delivered to my home!
My elder sister loves kimono very much (she has many kimonos
and yukatas) and my family treasure such custom,
so the quality and high-grade one was chosen.
I really appreciate for my family.....

It's great and beautiful, isn't it?

The original is more pretty, elegant and delicate.

こっちは帯。これも高級品。

着物ってほんとに工芸品としての価値があるだなーって実感。

広げると１枚の絵みたいで、これはどんなに高くたって

その後しっかり財産になるんだなって思う。

早く着たい...。

This is obi (sash). Of course it's also a high quality one.

I realize that kimono is really valuable as an art.

It's a great handiwork. It looks like a painting when it is unfolded.

However expensive it might be,

I think kimono can be a big fortune later.

Anyway, I want to wear it soon......

(In Japan, most of the girls wear kimono for their
Coming of Age Day. It is the second Monday in January,
and my Coming of Age Day is next year.
So, you may think I made my kimono very early,

but it isn't so much in general.)
