While the kimono is no longer daily wear for most Japanese people, it remains deeply ingrained in cultural traditions.

There is a trend among the younger Japanese generation tor reintroduce kimono-wearing into everyday life, often blending it with modern fashion. Some enthusiasts, like Young Ah, have begun learning kitsuke, or the art of wearing a kimono using traditional layering, precise folding and proper tying of the sash.

As a missionary in Hiroshima, Young Ah uses her love of kimonos to build community and foster new relationships.
