The kimono is one of the symbols of Japanese culture. Many people would like to wear a kimono when they travel to Japan and stroll the streets.
When you hear the word "kimono," you probably think of the colourful furisode (振袖：long-sleeved kimono). However, do you know that there are various types of kimono, not only furisode, and that you need to wear the right type of kimono depending on the occasion?
The more you know about kimonos, the more you will be fascinated by them.
In February 2023, FUN! JAPAN will host an online event featuring a kimono expert!
The event is recommended for those who are interested in kimono culture and have daily conversational level Japanese language skills.
The guests will not speak one-sidedly, but will ask questions to the participants and receive questions from them, so you can use the event as an opportunity to test your own Japanese language skills.
And the event is FREE! All you need is 5,000 FUN! JAPAN points, and if you don't have any, don't worry, you can get 5,000 points just by registering with FUN! JAPAN.
ABOUT THE EVENT
This online event will be held jointly by FUN! JAPAN and Yamato, a kimono specialty store established in 1917. With over 100 years of history, Yamato is well known for its willingness to create not only traditional kimonos, but also innovative kimonos in collaboration with popular manga artists and popular apparel brands.
ABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER
The venue for the online event is "THE YARD", a beautiful kimono store in Shibuya, Tokyo, operated by Yamato. Ms. Miwako Hagihara, a kimono advisor with extensive knowledge of kimono, will be the guest speaker, communicating with participants in simple Japanese.
