I know I recently uploaded an ID, but I found this old picture of me in an authentic japanese kimono. It was a gift from my aunt's husband (who's japanese, obviously) when I was in high school. He was the one who tied the obi and everything.

I lent it to my classmates for a parade when we were in college and they didn't give it back to me. No one wanted to tell me where it is. They kept on pointing fingers... I think someone lost it or accidentally ripped it, who knows. Oh well. That was years ago.

Sad, sad, really. It was the best present I got from anyone! Now I'm looking for a kimono that has a pretty design and soft colors like it.

Anyway, removed the bg and the right sleeve is painted near the waist because my classmate's hand was gripping the kimono sleeve. (This picture was taken during a costume party for a classmate's birthday. High school days.)

~edit: thanks to ~18thsummer for pointing out that I misspelled "catch".
