while the Most of the Japanese people though she was cute in the kimono. They had no objections to her wearing a Kimono. Still you think she should never wear a kimono? How about me? I am half Japanese and half Hawaiian native, should i not wear a kimono, since I am American born? Yes i look like the people on that island of Japan, but I was born in America,. So, technically should i wear a kimono since i am only half Japanese?

Several people from India were wearing kimonos in tourist spots. They looked comfortable and elegant, both men and women. My Japanese friend only admired them, no offense expressed.
