In June, the STKC attended a kimono fashion show at the Nagomi Tea House in Seattle. The Nagomi Tea House has shared videos of the fashion show on their tumblr page! If you were unable to attend, or want to rewatch the show, here are the Youtube videos below. You can also see the photos we took and read about our experience on this blog post.

Unfortunately, there isn't a 5th part to show the furisode ensembles.

| Amanda dancing at White River Bon Odori |
Bon Odori was a blast. The STKC wasn't able to meet-up, but I look forward to future festivals and possible meet-ups! You can see my photos from the White River Bon Odori at my personal blog, here, as well as a photo slideshow at the bottom of this news article by the Auburn Reporter, here. The Bon Odori dance lesson's paid off and I had a great time dancing at the festival!
