I bought a ramie indigo men’s kimono jacket – it was very pricey.( I am a woman.) I wore it today – I live in London. As we parked near Burlington Arcade, a young man looked up seeing me put on my jacket as I got out of the car. Her called his colleague and they both came out of their studio asking about my beautiful kimono jacket. Late someone else who understands about fabrics etc wanted to touch the fabric. I just love the Kimono jacket.

You know, I didn’t see the traditional garments, but talking to a friend who went there a week after I did, she said there was a room out the back full of clothes that I never even saw! I was only in the very front room and though that was the whole shop, and I didn’t try to go out the back because i assumed that was their home and they never indicated I could go out there. So very strange! I have sent you an email :)

The textiles were amazing. Did you see the traditional field garments next to the modern designs that Utsuko-san has created? Also: Email me? I have a story for you that might explain the son’s comment….

Lived in Melbourne last year, wish I had known about your work.

Erika

Hi Adriana,

No I didn’t get to go back, there is just too much to see and do in Kyoto! I’ll go there again one day :)
