JAPAN - TOKYO BARGAINS: Kimono dressing and renting... for hours! Where? Discover it here! 着物着付け 着
Wearing a Kimono is a fairy-tale experience.
Getting dressed is a fascinating ritual,
especially when you can rely on the care of expert hands,
passionate about details and tradition.
This is why it is important to choose the ideal place
among the jungle of shopping offers and travel agencies.
Prices vary enormously (3,500-15,000 Yen)
and spending more does not necessarily give you a better service.
There are high-class kimonos made of thick fabric and precious brocades and others resembling those flowery polyester dressing gowns you would put on your clothes, on Carnivals.
Some offers are limited to the duration of the actual dressing-up
with the possibility of some DIY shots (half an hour in total),
Others allow you a few extra minutes for a brief stroll outdoors
In the surroundings or in their garden.
The risk is to fall prey of a grotesque,
and hasty assembly chain, without soul and at a high price.
Our advice?
The Omotenashi Kimono Experience
(From theJapanese omotenashi: hospitality)
organised by the Nihonbashi Information Center in Tokyo.
The assistant are friendly, smiling
and dedicated to making every detail... perfect.
Among a variety of beautiful obi (bands - 帯, お び)
and Kimonos (着 物)
you can choose the one that you fancy.
The atmosphere of the place,
which respects the solemnity, the silence and the gestures worthy of an ancient ritual,
contributes to making the experience authentic and exciting...
timeless.
With your Kimono on, you can shoot as many pictures as you like
in the classic tatami room (畳), with straw rugs.
And it does not end there.
Then you can choose the zōri, typical flip-flops (草 履),
a traditional handbag and a cloak with which you can go out
anywhere (even in a restaurant),
From morning till.. 6:00 p.m.!
The center will keep your clothes in a bag until you come back.
And once you have put them on,
the tabs (足 袋 - traditional stockings with the separate thumb)
will remain yours as a 'souvenir' gift.
All this for just 5,500 Yen and sometimes even less.
When booking, ask the center if there are any special offers,
together with other activities.
We have taken the opportunity of the promotional campaign:
Put a photo on the blog or social media
and we immediately had a 2,000 Yen discount each.
When: every Saturday

Suspense: The X-Ray Camera / Subway / Dream Song
The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, Backseat Driver, which originally aired February 3, 1949.
The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. At the time he took over Suspense, Lewis was familiar to radio fans for playing Frankie Remley, the wastrel guitar-playing sidekick to Phil Harris in The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. On the May 10, 1951 Suspense, Lewis reversed the roles with Death on My Hands: A bandleader (Harris) is horrified when an autograph-seeking fan accidentally shoots herself and dies in his hotel room, and a vocalist (Faye) tries to help him as the townfolk call for vigilante justice against him.
With the rise of television and the departures of Lewis and Autolite, subsequent producers (Antony Ellis, William N. Robson and others) struggled to maintain the series despite shrinking budgets, the availability of fewer name actors, and listenership decline. To save money, the program frequently used scripts first broadcast by another noteworthy CBS anthology, Escape. In addition to these tales of exotic adventure, Suspense expanded its repertoire to include more science fiction and supernatural content. By the end of its run, the series was remaking scripts from the long-canceled program The Mysterious Traveler. A time travel tale like Robert Arthur's The Man Who Went Back to Save Lincoln or a thriller about a death ray-wielding mad scientist would alternate with more run-of-the-mill crime dramas.
