戸倉上山田温泉の近くの上田市で「キモノマルシェ」という着物のイベントは１１月１７日(日)に開催される。
知り合いの小岩井上田紬工房の小岩井さんに誘って頂きましたが、上田市の紬の文化(上田紬は日本三大紬の一つ)を生かしながら、着物の販売や着付け、着物パレードなど、面白そうな内容。なるべく行きたいと思っていますので、着物が好きな皆様はご一緒にどうぞ！
Nearby Ueda City (approx. 15 minutes by train from Togura-Kamiyamada Onsen) will hold a special kimono-related event called "Kimono Marche" on Sunday November 17th.
My buddy Koiwai-san at Koiwai Ueda Tsumugi Workshop invited me to this event that will include talks on Ueda's silkweaving roots (the local style, called 'Ueda Tsumugi', is recognized as one of the 3 most important tsumugi styles in the country) as well as the latest styles of kimonos for sale, kimono wearing, even a kimono parade.
I hope to attend, so all of you kimono fans out there, won't you join me?
