I'm a 30 year old fun and silly lady that likes kimono, games, art, fashion and Japan

I was born in Amsterdam, and at the moment I work as a senior interface and graphic designer at a Game Company. Most of my work is designing charachters, animation and interfaces for games.

For years I’ve been fascinated by Japan, it’s culture and the kimono. It makes me sad to know that the kimono is slowly dying. A few hundred years ago, thousands of people worked as kimono makers. But today? There are only a few families left in Japan who still do this great work.

I've had a some kimono’s for a long time, but I never thought of wearing them properly. Until 3 years ago. I started to get interested in actually wearing them. I’ve been teaching myself more and more about kimono and kitsuke from everything that I can find in books or on the internet. My collection is still growing and my skill is slowly improving.

I'm one of the administrators of the 'International Kimono Network'. A place founded by Hiromi Asai were kimono enthusiasts from all over the world can discuss and share their kitsuke related items.

Thanks you very much for visiting my page. I hope you enjoy it (*^-^*)/
