kimono
Kimono and suits are the standard clothing choice for this annual event, but this model chose something much skimpier.
Every year all eyes are on the flashiest fashions at Kitakyushu, but there’s another side to the story.
Gajoen offers over 2,500 kimono/accessory combinations for day-long experience, professional photography service available too.
Kimonos and gangsta flair to celebrate freedom and individuality before conforming to Japanese society.
Pop-up stores in Gunma Prefecture will also showcase these fashion items that bridge the past and present.
