When I was in my thirties I first chose my own kimono. It was made by an artisan in Kyoto. It is a goldish brown homongi, with a pattern of bamboo leaves on it. The ground is very subtly coloured and shaded and I still love this kimono.

30代で初めて、自分で着物を選びました。京都の作家さんのものです。金茶の地色に竹の葉っぱが描かれています。地色は綺麗にぼかしてあります。今でもこの着物大好きです。
