Asagiri Kimono: Photos from Special Tea Ceremony
http://jadexcore.blogspot.com/2015/07/private-tea-ceremony.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Photos from Special Tea Ceremony. As a member of our local chado (tea ceremony) group, The Way of Tea in Tennessee. We usually do practice and demonstrations, with only one formal tea gathering in January. Another member built her own chashitsu (tea room) and held a smaller private gathering - a rare treat for us! The occasion was not only to celebrate the chashitsu but also to welcome a special guest - our sensei's mother. Please read my other post. August 25, 2015 at 12:05 PM.

Asagiri Kimono: August 2015
http://jadexcore.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Kitsuke Practice with Sha Hikizuri. My newest hikizuri arrived in the mail this past week. I suspect it to be one that was used for dance/stage performance, and by the incredibly large dimensions (235cm long and 150cm wingspan! It might even have been used by an onnagata. Not only its size is intriguing, but the lining is also a bit of a mystery. Its sha-awase for the most part, but it is unlined at the top of the shoulder area. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Asagiri Kimono: Where to Buy Kimono
http://jadexcore.blogspot.com/p/places-to-buy-kimono.html
Where to Buy Kimono. I often am asked, "What are some good places to buy kimono? So, here's a list I have compiled of trustworthy places to purchase kimono that will ship internationally. I also have noted whether or not they speak English, the condition of the merchandise they sell, and any helpful comments. Vintage or New Merchandise? Higher shipping costs due to all packages being registered, also sells tea implements. Helpful staff, weekly newsletter. Lots of men's items. Often has deep discount items.

Asagiri Kimono: May 2015
http://jadexcore.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. New Bag and Ombré Hanhaba Obi. I keep adding more things to my summer collection! I blame The New Kimono. I am honestly quite happy that there's a yellow tone to this obi because it contrasts with the colors of my summer kimono and yukata better than blue tones. I also had a lucky find! Had a new woven bag. It's almost exactly the same as the Kururi one, and it was only one-fourth of the cost! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Where to Buy Kimono.

Asagiri Kimono: March 2015
http://jadexcore.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. Yesterday was the annual hanami at our local botanic garden. I performed tea ceremony in one of the outdoor pavilions, so sadly, I didn't get any pictures of the lovely cherry trees! My husband did snap a couple photos of my outfit before we left the house. This coordination consists of a striped tsumugi, cream geometric nagoya obi, pale blue lace haneri, raspberry obiage, pink sanbuhimo, rose obidome, and rhinestone flower kanzashi used as an obi kazari.

Kimono come in many different types. Depending on the kimono itself and the obi and accessories chosen to accompany it, kimono can span from very casual to formal and ceremonial situations. While there are some kimono that fall into a grey area of sorts, most will fit neatly into one of the following categories. Very fine repeated pattern. Dressy casual to semi-formal. Pattern that generally appears on one sleeve and below waist. Dressy casual to semi-formal. Black with pattern only below waist.
