Kimono lunch gatherings, online kimono tea gatherings, and afternoon tea gatherings in Tokyo and Osaka. A kimono community connecting kimono friends around the world, based in Zurich, Switzerland.
Based in Zurich, Switzerland, I run four community activities that connect kimono friends around the world.
Zurich Kimono Lunch Gathering (Monthly)
Since 2015, I’ve held a monthly in-person gathering in Zurich. Wearing kimono, participants enjoy lunch together and connect across countries and generations. Kimono rental and dressing are available free of charge.
Online Kimono Tea Gathering (Monthly)
Since 2021, I’ve hosted a monthly online kimono tea gathering via Zoom, free of charge. It’s a way for kimono lovers anywhere in the world to connect. Details and sign-up are handled through our Facebook group.
