There is so much to learn from Japan. The way they still preserved their culture and infused it with modernization instead of completely get into western influence really shows the soft power of Japan. That's why in India we are building shinkasen train instead of any other bullet train bc of quality. Indian culture also needed to be infused with mordernisation instead of having a colonial idea that it is primitive.

Do you think you would be able to make a video on eating gluten free or with allergies in Japan? I saw your gluten free okonomiyaki video (funnily, just last week my husband was talking about trying to make some at home, I need to share that video with him ^_^) and as someone with celiac disease, my biggest worry if I ever somehow get that slim chance of being able to visit Japan, that I would wind up sick and unable to enjoy the trip because of difficulty finding food that's safe or worse, wind up hospitalized.

I love the thing about having multiple obi for each kimono. It really shows how alike people are that “spice up or expand your wardrobe with accessories” is a fairly universal concept. Me buying a new wrap and a Japanese woman 100 years ago buying a new obi were both thinking “yeah, this will go great with that thing I already have, and dress it up without breaking the bank” and I find that wonderful.

Watching this video makes me want to get out and wear my kimono! All of mine are vintage or antique. There's an importer I order bulk boxes through to recycle the garment fabric from. Sometimes they slip in a kimono, obi, or haori that's still in near-perfect condition. I always keep these to wear or give to friends as gifts. I have also bought kimono to wear from them. I'm so envious of all of the accessories shown! The most difficult part about kimono for me is finding the right size. I am very tall and admit some of my kimono are not the proper size for me.

I read somewhere that the intricate designs on the lining of kimono and juban gained popularity after noblemen started condemning lower class citizens for wearing kimono with flashy patterns, as it merged the gap between lower and higher class, so after that lower class people would put beautiful designs on the inside of their robes to still be able to express yourself a little without getting punished for it. Although I don't remember the source so it might be just a theory :(

"He said that ultimate beauty is achieved when you focus on parts that cannot be seen without taking them off." This is the same with a woman's body. When the clothing only hint at the beauty that lies underneath does it actually enhance the beauty. To leave it a mystery as opposed to a clothing choice that basically shows everything.

Kimono can be so bright, colorful, vibrant and beautiful, demonstrating how much individuality the Japanese of the past seem to have. How and why is it that most modern Japanese seem to have lost that sense of individuality and favoring a "normal" or "common" decorum. Not to mention preferring "duller" colors for their fashion.
