Marian told us a lot about the Kimono, its history to modern day. They are beautiful objects in themselves and are made from single Tans - single length of silk 11yards long.
It can take an hour to put on the traditional Kimono, but with modern fastening, they can be put on much faster today, and there are over 200 rules as to how to wear them.
Kimonos have a tradition going back over 2000 years and can cost from £2000 for a hand made one.
They tend to be worn today for special events and occasions, such as weddings.
Thank you Marian for both a fascinating talk and allowing us to look at and touch your beautiful collection of Kimonos.
