Baltimore Museum of Art’s curator’s tour of their exhibit “Kimono and Obi: Romantic Echos from Japan’s Golden Age.” #wafuku #kimono #baltimoremuseumofart #BMA #kimonolife

Interesting kimono at the Baltimore Museum of Art’s exhibit “Kimono and Obi: Romantic Echos from Japan’s Golden Age.” It was commissioned by an American man for his wife for their vow renewal. The Japanese artisan couldn’t create a traditional wedding kimono as the woman was already married. And felt that a kurotomesode worn by married relatives of the bride would be wrong as well. So this was his artistic solution. #weddingkimono #wafuku #kimono #kimonolife #yuzen #kurotomesode

Off to the Baltimore Museum of Art’s curator’s tour of their exhibit “Kimono and Obi: Romantic Echos from Japan’s Golden Age.” It’s 105 F / 40.5 C. Glad I got my new hemp juban! #wafuku #kimono #obidome #summerkimono #kimonolife #baltimoremuseumofart #BMA
