Event Details

Sono Kimono presents A Year in Kimono, a lecture about the history of kimono from its origins to modern-day fashion. It will include a workshop where participants will have the option to dress in yukata, the cotton summer kimono popular for festivals and celebrations.

Sono Kimono's Robyn Mortiboys, Secretary of the Japan Society of Fairfield County, will lead the presentation. She will display an assortment of vintage kimonos to highlight their formality and explain which garment is appropriate for a given occasion.

A Year in Kimono will be followed by a celebration of Oshogatsu, Japanese New Year, with green tea, a mochi tasting and origami crafts.

Registration required.
