Last week’s Wordless Wednesday, I featured a photo of the princess display at the Shin-Osaka train station:
I’m sorry
Pete I could not provide more details as I couldn’t read those writings behind the figure. Now, look at these photos of a lady (a live one!) we saw during our
Sakura Hunting last Spring in Kyoto. She’s wearing a princess’ kimono from the
Heian Period. Don’t you think this lady and that glassed figure’s kimono “style” have some similarities?

Thanks everyone!
@fortuitous faery
You’re right! princess amidala had one like this.
wearing this during summer? You’d faint! ^-^
@kljs
maybe because the doll’s kimono is red…
@Rolando
Perhaps never? haha The rental alone is very expensive. But I’d like to try wearing that in the future
