It was a kimono and zouri in old days when I said formal
dress in Japan. when I was a child, my mother went
out in a kimono, it was a plow to look at the like and
design. My interest took me to books and the kimono
shops and I examined it. I was surprised that every
design came out from the ancient times when I looked
at books from around the globe. Africa and the Europe
that seem to be totally different just as Asia, U.S.A., and
South America are. In the design, there was the religious
flavor with characteristic messages. when I was new
to America where I lived I saw Japan universally, and
became aware of my identity. But I did not know why I
should have to express it.
