A little description about the project:
One Kimono.Many Countries.Many Ensembles!
One kimono will be chosen and sent all around the world to fellow kitsuke
enthusiast, who will then create an ensemble representing their personal tastes
and styles.
How many ways can one kimono be worn? We'll soon see!
You can follow the travelling kimono on our Facebook Fan Page!

There is also a site setup for it. It will be updated as photo's and experiences start to gather.

Most of this going to be copy/paste from the facebook page
"While a large number of gorgeous kimono were generously offered to be the first travelling kimono, we had to narrow the field down based on specific criteria:
- The kimono had to be a komon- The kimono had to be at least 165cm long to accommodate our taller members.
These four lovely pieces all made the initial cut and a poll will be created to choose the winning komon!"
It was a choice between 4 lovely kimono.
After voting this beautiful blue water pattern kimono won!
For future rounds here is a tidbit if whats planned or how to get in (once available)Also, we've had a number of people ask how they can participate. We're beyond thrilled with the enthusiasm everyone has, however, we had to make a decision to keep participant numbers for the first round at 40. We really would have loved to include MANY more people in the first round, however as this is the start of the project, we felt that it was best to work on the organization first to ensure it runs smoothly. This will make it easier for following rounds, allowing us to increase participation.
When the website is completed, there will be a "How To Participate" page with a form for those to fill if you are interested in joining in the future. We will be sure to post a link to the form here as soon as it's completed.

As I am ways down the list it will be a while before I see this beautiful kimono, in the meantime swing by Sisterhood of Kimono facebook page and see what has been done thus far,
Until next time, always be one step from the ordinary.
