Approximately 20 minutes of me quietly talking you through the history of kimono, from its early predecessors and Heian court dress to Edo-period fashion, the arrival of Western clothing and the kimono we recognise today.
Designed for two equally important purposes: learning something about kimono and eventually falling asleep because I have given you far too much information.
Listen properly and you may emerge with a surprisingly decent understanding of how kimono evolved.
Fall asleep halfway through and, frankly, the product has still done its job.
