I think that not to know about our traditional cloths is ashamed. For example, when I talk about Japanese culture with foreigner, I don't wanna say that I can't wear a kimono myself.
The other reason is that just I wanna wear kimono!
In fact, these reasons are for public answer. The most special reason is "kimono de Ginza".
Few years ago, I read an article "kimono de Ginza" in DIME(which is a magazine for men).
"kimono de ginza" is special kimono event in Ginza, Tokyo. People who loves kimono turn out at Ginze once a month, and walk down the street. Of course all of them wear a kimono. Everybody can join them.
You know, Ginza is one of famous city in Japan. It must be fantastic that I walk down the street wearing a kimono!!!
Buuuuut....
I'm not in Tokyo, so, I can't join the event.
That why I make kinomo friends, then I wanna walk down the street with them someday!
