Ai Love Kimono part 1

Tea ceremonies are a traditional experience that allow a little immersion into the Japanese culture that many are curious about. The informal setting of this particular tea gathering was the perfect way to ease into a light afternoon of tea and minimal snacks.

Aside from brewing green tea and enjoying the interactions that came with the event, there were subtle details that one could notice as the ceremony progressed. Japanese culture maintains its unique identity and the visual aesthetic of traditional Japanese clothes has always been appealing to me. Bright colours, elegance and distinct patterns make Japanese dresses some of the most interesting textiles to explore.
