Hello Everyone,
I've been waiting on a few big boxes full of kimono greatness for some time now, so of course when I went to the post office today, and park far away from the door, two of those boxes choose to arrive. Thankfully I had a friend with me who helped to carry one of those boxes. :)
Yup, the Obi Bundle of DOOOOOOOOOOOM had finally arrived! It sure took it sweet time, but I wasn't too worried because I knew that anything other than Priority mail takes a while to get to me.
The other box was from Shinei, and here is what was inside:
 |
| Meiji tsuke obi |
 |
| Chuya obi |
 |
| Funky komono |
 |
| This one is extra puurrrrty! |
 |
| My second furisode! |
 |
| Furisode juban |
 |
| Kimono coat |
Have you gotten anything new lately?

woow! awesome! that obi bundle is really great! I personally looove the black and silver obi with pink flowers on it! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI managed to buy a kimono bundle some time ago, but now I need so many obis to go with them! XD
It's just so emotive when one gets kimono stuff, isn't ti? :)
Love you're blog! I think you've got a fan here in México :P
Yes, that black and pink flowers is one of my favorite obi from the bundle :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a magnificent package, envy envy
ReplyDeleteObi bundle of heavenly bliss , you mean ^^. The red one is so you , it can only be surpassed by one with actual wild strawberries and wild strawberry blossoms on it :)
ReplyDeleteWhere to put it ? Hmm : put a small table in the kitchen and start eating there, while turning the living room into a walk-in closet - kimono room. OR.. put the bed on stilts so you can have a one very large closet underneath. Sleeping close to the ceiling is warm, although you have to be careful when sitting up in bed or jumping out of bed in the morning.
Buy a container truck, redo the interior of a standerd 20 ft container into a closet and you can then drive with your whole collection to any matsuri or Kimono de jack happening in the UK. Parking it in Westminster might be hard , though :)
Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures with us :)
We're all jealous ^^ ( which is what you were aiming for ,no ? :)

i was eying of that chuya obi, is it in better condition than the photos hinted???
ReplyDeleteIt's in perfect condition! :) At least from the "pretty" side :)
ReplyDeleteAh - You too have a Shinei Addiction. I wish Australia was a bit closer so I could come hang out with you and get assistance in making sure my kimono are properly donned. I am learning by trial and error, Youtube and one or two books on kimono wearing in japanese.
