In London, an Immersion into Japan’s Kimono Culture (Condé Nast Traveller)

October 28, 2020

Kimono to Catwalk at the V&A was Europe’s first major exhibition on the iconic Japanese drape

I wasn’t expecting to be enthralled by an exhibition inside a museum in the middle of a pandemic when even meeting a friend at a café seems like wishful thinking. And yet, that’s exactly how I felt as I walked through the galleries of  Kimono – Kyoto to Catwalk at the V&A Museum in London last week.

Kimono, a word which translates in English as ‘the thing to wear’, is so much more than what it literally means. An iconic costume from an exotic culture, an ensemble that hides within its folds many intriguing tales, a piece of artistry, a declaration of class and status… this exhibition adequately revealed that a kimono is all that and more.

    On Vikram Seth A poet, a novelist, a calligraphist On Vikram Seth
A poet, a novelist, a calligraphist, a legend 
A polymath whose genius is 
too hard to comprehend
But most of all he’s childlike, warm and funny 
London skies were overcast 
but with him in the room, 
It was salubrious and sunny.
