    This was so lovely to see your childhood home. Thank you for sharing! Seeing your childhood home through adult eyes is a fascinating, isn't it? I'm glad you have such fond memories. The kimono you showed was absolutely stunning and you would look beautiful wearing it. With shoes and purse to match!!! It's interesting that as we get older, we learn to appreciate our elders so much more. Your grandmother must be filled with joy knowing that you are interested in learning more of the old culture. It warms my heart! Please continue posting your journey in learning how to wear a kimono!

    Love these old houses! I would love to live in one. The kimono are lovely. My host mother where I lived when I was 19 does tea ceremony so she is used to wearing kimono. She taught me so I can wear a kimono and tie an obi, though I'm more comfortable with tying an obi for a yukata. But as I hardly wear either it does fade how to do it.

    I love this video. If I went to visit your mum, it would be very difficult to leave! Having slow and calm moments each day are very important to me, and I also love old things, especially home things like old gardens, kitchen items, and furniture. The older the better! Maybe your mum would hire me as a housekeeper or something lol. And yes, please learn how to wear kimono, I'd love to hear all about your journey, and also more about kimono in general. Are you just going to wear it around your home, or will you go out in it as well?

    It is always baffling to me how in two generations, the custom of wearing kimono has died out almost completely. My great-grandmother ONLY wore kimono. I don't think she even owned yofuku. My grandmother loved kimono and wore them often, but most of the time it was more practical for her to wear yofuku. When she got older, it was too difficult for her to wear kimono and she stopped. My mother has worn a kimono maybe three or four times in her life and never learnt how to put it on herself.
