First Kimono de Jack in London

Kimono de Jack events are becoming more and more popular in Japan, spreading from Kyoto to Tokyo and other prefectures. But Japan is not the only one country that could have de Jack, after all the essence of Kimono de Jack is to create more reasons to wear kimono for kimono lovers.

The  very first Kimono de Jack in United Kingdom will be held on October 23rd in London. There are no rules, no obligation to stay. It is encouraged to wear a kimono to the meet up, after all, the event is created as a reason to wear kimono. But if you don't have one, do not despair. Come anyway and enjoy the day.

When: 
October 23rd, 2010

Where:
Trafalgar Square, London

Time: 
11:00 - ?

What to do: 
Possibly visit the museums at the Square, get a cup of tea of coffee, and enjoy the company of fellow kimono lovers. 

London Japan Matsuri 2010

London Japan Matsuri 2010 happened this weekend. It was bigger and better than last year, especially since the event used up the whole Spitafields Market. It sure got crowded fast though, because those 30,000 people that came last year came again and brought friends!

This year there were many people in kimono again. Some were yukata, and some were in fully lined kimono. At first I thought those in yukata will get cold, but crowds made it very hot so I think those people were the most comfortable. :)

 Meanwhile, I'm planning on holding the first Kimono de Jack on October 23rd, and 2nd on November 13th. Details to follow. :)
