So today was the national cherry blossom festival. Its always fun so I went down. Quite by accident i came across a demonstration by the Washington DC kimono society.
While the style of the traditional garb is beautiful in its own right the fabrics and intricacy of these outfits was gorgeous. Embroidered silks and satins.... I didn't drool (I don't think) but I did have this dumb awed smile on my face.
