I am a professional kimono teacher as stylist, Pokemon Go trainer, world traveler, and foodie!https://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.social/post/3lgars4ww422uThis is a reminder of where I started with my official kimono journey. How far have I come? It’s good I practiced with pre-coordinated pieces. I wouldn’t do this today. Hopefully this helps others in taking their first steps to whatever they want to achieve, too! #kimono #japan21 Jan 2025 11:47 +0000at://did:plc:tu22ymmwea25cmxed7yllsd2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgars4ww422uhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.social/post/3lgargu3tbc2uMore throwbacks. There is so much to think about when creating a kimono coordination. Will the kimono and obi go together? If not, can I make it work with the right accessories? What about formality and seasonality, especially with alt-kimono? #kimono #japan21 Jan 2025 11:40 +0000at://did:plc:tu22ymmwea25cmxed7yllsd2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgargu3tbc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.social/post/3lga6vsf2j22hThrow backs—I also learned geimai-kitsuke. It’s pretty difficult because of how precise I feel I have to be, but so rewarding. It made me really understand kimono fashion and how to coordinate better. #kimono #japan #geisha #geiko #maiko #kitsuke #芸妓　#芸者　#舞妓21 Jan 2025 06:09 +0000at://did:plc:tu22ymmwea25cmxed7yllsd2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lga6vsf2j22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.social/post/3lg6n4byqec2cThis might be my favorite current kimono outfit. #kimono #japan #着物20 Jan 2025 15:18 +0000at://did:plc:tu22ymmwea25cmxed7yllsd2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lg6n4byqec2chttps://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.social/post/3lfqfxpdwec2vwww.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FuwSLv/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FuwSLv/14 Jan 2025 23:33 +0000at://did:plc:tu22ymmwea25cmxed7yllsd2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfqfxpdwec2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.social/post/3lfqffejo2s2vwww.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FucJe3/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FucJe3/14 Jan 2025 23:22 +0000at://did:plc:tu22ymmwea25cmxed7yllsd2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfqffejo2s2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.social/post/3lfmzqw2ljc2yInspired by all of the beautiful outfits I saw on Seijinnohi, I decided to go gone and try an original creation. #japan #kimono13 Jan 2025 15:16 +0000at://did:plc:tu22ymmwea25cmxed7yllsd2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfmzqw2ljc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimonotown.bsky.social/post/3leu6wumjf22gThis is currently my favorite kimono style.
