I went to the Japanese Cultural and community center of Washington not too long ago for the first time. They just opened a shop called Hosekibako-jewel box. I. Was. Amazed! There is so much to see there, it took me an hour to go through it. It's a small space, but it is packed! I found a couple of items to help me with kitsuke. I found an obi clip, an elastic koshihimo and a wool one, obijime, irotomesode, and fukusa.
Then I started wondering about volunteering. I signed up, and had my first day last Thursday! Of course, I wore a kimono. Couldn't help it. They took a picture and loaded it on their Facebook. Here's the link to their page.
FacebookI will write more later, but that's about it for now.
