Jessica, you look absolutely stunningin your new kimono! What a precious gift, and a testament to how much this lady must like you! Cool story, cool friendship across demographic divides. You know that Zen rock garden? We have one near my home in the Huntington Gardens that looks just like that one! It's actually quite remarkable. I'll take you there when you come visit me in California!!!!
Those were great pictures and perhaps the most beautiful kimonos Ive ever seen. I have to ask this though. Did they have clothes like Kenshin wears at that shop? Im still so jealous!! You get to see some of the most beautiful places on earth while Im forced to stair at a concrete wll all day in my classes. ARGH!!! breath in..... breath out..... Okay Im better now. Remeber though If or when you get the chance go to one of the castles please!! I may never get to see one in my life time so I need the pictures you post!! ARGH! Now Im being selfish... sorry. Well got to go now and on a final note my team had a winning football season. We are 4 and 3!!- Asa

Did they have Kenshin clothes? Not at this particular shop, no. To be honest, I'm not sure where to find secondhand guys clothes, I haven't even seen many new ones (hakama and men's kimono and such) at the regular shops. To be honest, Japanese men wear formal kimono even less often than women do, so I think that's why they're harder to find, there just isn't that much demand for them.
A word of hope Asa; you may find it hard to believe right now, but someday your years of school will be over, and you too can apply to the JET program or another one like it (because there are several, JET just happens to be the biggest) and come to Japan :) Just remember, you need to have a college degree. Sometimes I actually miss the days where all I had to worry about was coming to school and sitting in a classroom staring at the walls. I don't miss the people I went to school with, but I do miss school itself. Don't be too jealous, with a little patience and hard work you can do cool stuff in Japan too :)

Liar. You miss at least a couple of us. Oh, by the way, I need some of that temple action Eric has a company us in Cincinnati interested in him and I want to move back. I suggest some serious ringing. Be zen
