What do you do in Japan?
I’m a licensed kimono teacher and stylist. I’ve been studying the art of kitsuke (着付け, kimono dressing) for almost a decade and passed my teacher’s license after studying for 5 years in a kimono school 4 years ago. At first, it was just a hobby, but at the beginning of the pandemic, I wanted to pursue my dream of sharing authentic kimono knowledge and skills with the world. So, I started my own business by running an online kimono learning community. In this community, you can learn all about kimonos, how to wear kimonos and their textiles, dyes, history, and more. The community is in English and online, so everyone can join without any Japanese language skills・・・
