This kind of business trips is so wonderful.

I hope I can enjoy once a year!

Did you also enjoy your business trip when you visited Shanghai?

Yeah, iWalk, kimonos are different considering a lady’s age, marital status, and the level of formality of the occasion. But it a little complex to me too!

Great post Tiny!

I am interesting in Kimono Fashion Show too.

I hear that we can tell a lady’s state (like married or not married) from the method of Kimono she wear. But I forget the detail.

in my country there’s still weaving, but nowadays most of the textile is made in big industry. Traditional woven still considered expensive there, and mostly it is used for souvenirs and worn in special occasion only .

Thanks Renny!

I didn’t know there are weaves in Norway too! So people are same in such base demand.

You also remind me my grandmother, My father said She knew weaves well, and she also had an ancient weave machine too.

Oh, yeah, QiPao is a kind of wonderful design of Manchu in Qing Dynasty, But it’s the symbol of China now. It’s so suit to Chinese women, Just Kimono is suit to Japanese women.
