The Kimono Lady

Learn Something New!

Free seminars are available to any non-profit public group or institution. This includes student clubs at schools, libraries, accredited schools, and service organizations like the Girl Scouts. If you're not sure if your group qualifies, please email info@thekimonolady.com to ask.

What's In a Free Seminar?

It's a fun, fast-moving hour devoted to traditional Japanese culture with an emphasis on kimono as both clothing and a window into today's society. A typical seminar will feature:

• Real kimono, from antiques to modern

• Authentic Japanese items like shrine charms and calligraphy brushes

• A chance for at least two volunteers to get dressed in kimono

• History, culture and Q&A session

Seminars can be tailored to age groups and to focus more on general Japanese culture, Japanese language, fabrics for quilting, or kimono specifically. Please ask if you have something specific in mind.
