I spent my teen years in Japan. I am a registered instructor in the Omotesenke school of chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony. I and my family have a half-dozen kimono. Please allow me to respond to this as politely as I possibly can:
THIS IS STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And may God help me, that is as politely as I can put it.
Was it something like a proper respect that needs to be paid when one dons a kimono?
Nah, they have just caught the liberal rabies virus.
I think you actually say Baka or some like that, been a while since I been to that island, lived there for a couple of months.
