The other day, we brought a Filipino student to the house of a tea ceremony instructor. She wore the instructor’s kimono since their height was almost the same. The type of kimono was called 絞り(shibori)which is famous in Arimatsu, Nagoya city.

 

The instructor used to wear that kimono when she was young, and was happy to see the student dressing in her kimono as it brought back her treasured memories.

 

The instructor’s friend also came to join the tea ceremony in her kimono and we all had a great time. The instructor and her friend enjoyed English conversation with the student. It was such a lovely day!
