Cool Picture! There are some Kimono clothing in our closets, given to us by an exchange student that we hosted.
Growing up I never had a lot of appreciation for the people of Asia.
This came mostly from spending time a lot of time around a vet that fought them and still very much resented them. There seemed to be a lot of resentment when I was a kid, for anyone Asian, from the 3 wars that we fought against these people.
People disliked import cars, and some of the old guys gave me crap when I bought a Kawasaki motorcycle in the early 80's.
That said I have had 3 Asian exchange students, including one from Japan last year. All 3 of these kids were wonderful, and the last two were some of the hardest working, and most respectful kids that I have ever been around.
I miss them both, and its is the high point of my day when we hear from them.
If the corona virus ever goes away, I hope to have a couple more of these kids in our home.
