Kimonos ¬¬

Birdsonsummerdaywframe When my sister was a little girl, my grandfather made a trip to Japan and like he used to do, he brought us lots of presents, but there was one that had my sister stunned (it still does.)

He brought her a Kimono! but not just any one... a golden one with roses an dragons, with a big lace and OMG... so so so so soft, she told me she felts like as  been touched by clouds.

Then my grandfather tolds us that for over 1500 years the Kimonos were part of the japanese culture and couture.

He showed us some pictures and I could see the grace, glamour, mistery that those women carry when they were all gawned up.

She stills have hers in the closet, of course it doesn't fit her anymore, but some day, when she or me have a kid we will pass it over to her, that's the impression that simple but extraordinaire outfit left in us, heritage sent.
