Today's topic is the Japanese word of the week! When I was studying Japanese (actually, I still am studying Japanese), I used to have a "word of the day" and I had to use the word at least once that day. So I thought to put up something similar here, only that the words would be kimono-related or one that you would hear frequently in conjunction with kimono. So here it is!

Lovely aren't they? I've been looking to buy a nice dark red kimono to wear, and I did win one with black motifs a few days ago! Here's a little picture:
I can't wait to get it in the mail!! Hopefully it'll arrive before I go home for Christmas :P
Well, that's all for now!

That geisha and kimono is so pretty! I love japan and kimonos I'm afriad I can't pull off the face make-up though :(
Haha, yes, it is difficult to pull off the face make-up! But that's kind of what makes it so special, I think ^^
