The Kimono Lady

    Christina, a.k.a. The Kimono Lady, has been a fan of kimono since 1998, when she found a beautiful book of kimono photographs in her college library.

    She later spent five years living and working in Japan, in the cities of Sendai and Tokyo, and now enjoys introducing Western audiences to kimono and Japanese culture here in the States. An educator by trade, Christina provides fun and informative presentations and seminars, opening a colorful window onto the Land of the Rising Sun.

    (Given the recent earthquake, tsunami and nuclear issues facing Japan, please consider donating to any reputable charity assisting in Japan, praying for the victims, or just spreading the word about what has happened. It will take Japan a long time to recover from this disaster.)
