Hang Your Kimono On a Beautiful Sunny Day

Do you live in a humid area like Japan? If you've ever lived in Japan or visited there except in winter, I am sure you've felt the high humidity. The level of the humidity goes worse in June(a rainy season usually starts in June until Jul), and August is the worst. The high temp and the high humidity go together and make the air really sweaty!!

Anyway, we take out all the kimono out of the closet and hang them inside the house for a day sometime before June. The reason is that kimono will likely to have extra moisture in summer and that can damage your kimono. It can be mold!!! Ouch!!!

So, hang them NOT under the sun and let them breath fresh air! These are some of my kimono and yukata.

You are lucky if you live in a dry area!! (Should I move to AZ or CA? maybe...)
