The juunihitoe is a traditional garb worn by nobles in Japan in the Heian Era, made up of 12 layers up kimono weighing up to 40 pounds. Each layer is rich in historic meaning and symbol. Today, only members of the Imperial Family wear juunihitoe for enthronement and other very formal functions. Other than that, this complicated clothing can only be seen in museums and films. Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a live model dressed in the juunihitoe in person!
There will be a question and answer period and light reception following the presentation.
