Old Kimonos

O harame, a typical fabric pattern from Kyoto area (if my memory serves me right, that's what the woman said).

Some of the kimono-no-more for sale. 

How much does a kimono cost? It varies according to the quality. The ones made from silk can cost nearly a million yen.
I went to a stand in a mall selling old kimonos that had been cut into small pieces to be sold again. I bought six small pieces sized 10x25cm 100-200Yen each.
They're for my craft project.

    I want to learn how to put on a kimono or yukatta. There will be a Yukatta Festival at University in June to attend.
