Anime Wearing Kimono


It's almost the end of year 2012, I'd like to post something related to kimono again. These are several anime characters wearing kimono, either the original character or just some characters wearing kimono in special occasion. Can you guess all of them? o

Kimono Collection: Pink Flower Yukata with Real Glitter


New yukata from Shinei woohoo⌒▽⌒). I've been eyeing this yukata for a while. The yukatas from Shinei are beautiful and gorgeous. It was a doki-doki time when I tried to eliminate several yukatas into one ( ̄ー ̄). It couldn't help I wanted to buy all of those yukatas. If I'm not going to wear all of them, I might think about selling them. But that just another plan maybe. I crazed into buying new kimono stuff now.

This yukata has a real glitter, I wonder if it's safe enough to wash this yukata. I'm afraid the glitter will dissolve into water. I should find a proper obi for this yukata, maybe black will match well.

To date, I haven't worn this yukata yet and will post the kitsuke once I wear this lovely yukata. This cotton yukata is still stiff when I did test-wear. I guess after several wearing, this yukata will drape nicely.

Kimono Collection: Black Fukuro Obi Woven Camellia

I instantly fall in love with this obi. The colour is so vivid . It's rare to see black obi with woven flower like this. This obi waved at me and cry, "Make me mine! Make mine!" repeatedly. The woven thread are loose in several places but it's fine since the tear is covered when the obi is worn.

I finally decided to wear this obi at my friend's wedding with my new self-made komon and my brand new obijime. I will post the kitsuke later (^o^)/.

Kimono Collection: Black Chrysanthemum and Navy Blue Sharingan Hanhaba Obi

I bought two obi from my favourite shop (≧∇≦). They are hanhaba. Both of them are synthetic and woven. These obi are very versatile since black can go with any color and the navy blue has the mirror side, which is white. These obi came in handy when Dinda, one of my friend decided to visit Yogyakarta for about a week. She was having a long vacation after bitter separation from her ex. Now that I mentioned it, let's not talk about that. During that time, there was also a matsuri named Jogja Japan Week so we dashed to the matsuri without hesitation. I dressed up her with my brand new dark blue yukata. Dinda loved the blue side more, so I put the navy blue hanhaba but as for the musubi, I showed the white side one ^_^. More picture of the events will be uploaded soon in the next post.
