her little bag
Posted by akarui (Kagoshima, Japan) on 6 October 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
I went to a photo exhibition recently and on the way I saw this young lady wearing a kimono for her 20th birthday.
Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

Great capture of the details, I like the composition very much! The purse matches great with her beautiful authentic robe.

Jolie présentation soignée. Dans sa simplicité vestimentaire, il y a en fait beaucoup de sophistication. C'est magnifique, ces tenues.

A quite exotic view - to me. :-)
Is wearing clothings like this still taken for granted or just a habit for special days?

@MadScientist: Thank you very much MadScientist. Japanese people wear kimono for special occasions. Here it was her birthday and she just became an adult (20 years old in Japan). Some people will wear kimono a few times in a year but I have never seen my wife in kimono...

This is it! Really fine, and you've captured a Japanese woman in her kimono so beautifully and so well in just this little detail shot. Super work.

Superbe. Et le cadrage inhabituel ne me dérange pas. Au contraire. Les couleurs sont superbes. Et l'élégance de cette jeune fille est magnifiée par son sac à mains, parfaitement en accord avec son kimono.

Un joli kimono aux motifs fins, des mains qui ne sont pas moins fines et un petit sac. Bref tout est en harmonie
