Introduction, but first, a Reply

That upsets me really, I was hoping that it would work, but that's just our luck now isn't it?

Oh, yes, an introduction. I have many aliases for myself but here, I am Owl. Like Inga, I share a passion for kimono and was the one who converted her to the traditional garbs. I have a pink bamboo-patterned kimono with the cheat obi and bow, a white undergarment kimono given to me by a dear friend, two winter yakuta and several obi between them along with the tabi socks and mock traditional footwear. I have had a fascination with the Japanese culture since grade school and have learned much over the course of time. It started with the freetime studying of the Shinto religion and has since branched into zounds of different things for me. It persists today. I plan to live there someday as well, as I am a believer in that if you must learn about a culture, one must dive in head first and with an open mind. This blog is the brainchild of Inga and she has my thanks. I wish to teach others more about kimono and their significance because every aspect of them says something. It is easy to misinerpet and, if worn incorrectly, can say some unpleasant things. But, they are things of beauty and with this blog, we'll show why. We've done our homework, we've studied and we've enjoyed it the entire way. Please, enjoy.
