Atarashii...


My new camera straps. Got them done a week ago. They're made from cotton fabric which is usually used to make Yukatta, or casual kimono.

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.
