I visited the Ikeda Shigeko Collection: The Elegance of Kimono collection at Matsuya Ginza. The exhibit featured about 60 kimono from Ikeda's collection of 8,000 kimono and accessories. Each was shown on dress forms complete with obi, obijime cord, ornamental obi clasp, neckpiece and sandals, helping to paint a complete picture of how the kimono were worn.
私は銀座松屋デパートで「池田重子コレクション、日本のおしゃれ展」というエキジビションを見た。このコレクションには池田重子が選んだ着物や着物用のアクセサリーがいろいろそろっていた。
We were able to peruse all things kimono including traditional textile vendors (to make you own kimono), antique and recycled kimono as well as a demonstration of how the obijime cord is woven.
手で着物を刺繍している方の伝統的な仕事を見物できた。帯締めの作り方も見られた。
The event was filled with women, some in kimono and some not. I was thrilled that when we decided to have lunch I chose something that I hoped I could eat delicately and not spill (my first meal). This Chirashi-zushi(bits of sushi on top of rice) was perfect!
たくさんの女性が集まっていた。着物を着ている方もいたが、着ていない方もいた。私はちょっとだらしのない格好をしている気がしたので、レストランに行く時になったら零さないで食べられるものを食べようと決めた。ちらし寿司は完璧だった！
