I searched, but I didn't find any sort of topic on this hobby, so I decided to bring it up.
So, one of my hobbies is kimono collecting and dressing. Not quite the robes that you buy at an asian gift store that come with a matching tie-sash, but rather, the traditional piece that takes a lot of time and learning to dress in.
For almost 7 years I've been involved in learning about kimono, how to tie obi, and the various formality rules.
I suppose it's a shot in the dark, but is there anybody who is interested in this hobby or already spends time and money on it? If you want to see, I can post pictures of my own kimono dressing, as well! The posted picture is actually an outfit I dressed my mannequin in. :)
P.S. Here's my kimono tumblr blog.
No Kimono, No Life!
