the cherry blossoms are unbelievable unless you've actually seen them. wearing even a "simple" visiting kimono is also unbelievable unless you've spent a day in one. Have you read Liza Dalby's books "Geisha" and "Kimono-Fashioning Culture"? she is the only westerner to have been accepted and worked in a professional Kyoto geisha house.
Perbacco com'era complicato: immagino che fosse una preparazione per un'occasione particolare e che non lo facessero tutte le mattine prima di andare al lavoro!
