About

My name is Diane, I am a twenty-something woman with a passion for wearing and collecting vintage kimono. In this blog, I hope to catalogue my collection, share interesting information about special pieces, and record coordinations and outfits. If you want to know more about me, please don’t be shy to ask.

I also plan to discuss the challenges of collecting and wearing clothing made for the typical lithe Asian physique 50 to 100 years ago, when you have a western hourglass figure and are 5’10″, as well as review books I find interesting and relevant to the subject, and share tips and tricks for shopping online.

A note on the name: “suki” means a love or strong fondness, so “kimono suki” can be interpreted as “kimono love”. My nickname online is Moony, and moon in Japanese is “tsuki”, so “kimono tsuki” is a play on that.
