My kakeshita finally arrived!

I have my kakeshita,finally! (^o^)/ i'm so happy! i put it on just to try it and i couldn't believe my image at the mirror...the sleeves almost touch in the ground and the tail of the kakeshita is very very long,more even than a hikizuri's.

i need to learn how to dress kakeshita well and then i will dress it with my embroided obi with peacock motif.

My dream came true!

(Popochi,my pink hipo was so curious about it that jump over the kakeshita and start smelling it xD i think she likes it too)

This is not a Maiko's Hikizuri! Be careful!

Recently on Ebay,a seller called Kyoto.Antique is selling what he/she says to be maiko hikizuri's.

Be careful! this is not a hikizuri,but a bride's kakeshita!

You can clearly see it by the rose motif and by the sleeves.The sleeves of a maiko's hikizuri have tucks,wich make the maiko's hikizuri an unique kimono.

Finally i did it!

Today i got astonished with myself. Well,with the suprise itself!
I just bought the Kakeshita i wanted and dreamed so since last christmas! i'm so...i can't even speak. I feel so happy!

I couldn't believe when i saw the news at Ichiroya's. Two kakeshita have been listed!*miracle*
i haven't seen a kakeshita at Ichiroya's store since the last year.
Just for the price of $28 (O.o) i really couldn't believe my eyes and so i've choose one of them. with the SAL shipping the total cost was just $56.Isn't it great? *-*

I just want to kiss Yuka san in the moment(my ichiroya's idol x3)!

I finally make my dream come true ^^
