Polyester Kimono + Polyester Obi sash

Polyester clothing is good for beginners like me, but difficult to wear, because it does not fit to body like silk one.

I used to wear this polyester one when I go to Sado (tea ceremony) lessons.

The above obi sash style is common for young girls especially in summer season.

This polyester Kimono costs only $100. This polyester Obi sash costs less than $40.

Chirimen Kimono + Nagoya Obi

I went to a lecture meeting about aging issue.

I bought this genuine silk Kimono at around $900, which could be worth around $20,000, and this obi sash cost only $300, which could be priced as 2-3x.

My Kimono teacher knows a good Kimono wholesaler :-)
