September KDJ Meetup!

Tomorrow it will be another month and you know what that means, Kimono de Jack meetup time.

We are back in London people for the 3rd annual Japan Matsuri which has moved from Spitalfield Market to the Riverside Building.

Last year's Matsuri was brilliant, with lots of stalls to spend money and free tasters on various alcohol beverages. Not that I'm encouraging drinking by the way, I'm just saying that if you like trying new stuff then it is a must!

Another big change to Japan Matsuri apart from the location is the date. This time the event will be on a Sunday rather then a Saturday so I'm afraid I will not be able to attend because of the long train journey (3.5 hours!) but we have plenty of kimono wearers closer to London who will be attending so if you are planning to come then let us know!

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. :)
