[Jararvellir] OT - Kimono Exhibit on campus

[A. Rebekah Turner]

I'm quite sure that this exhibit does not have garments from the periods 
we study in the SCA; however, it still looks like an interesting exhibit.

Crafting Kimono will reveal these varied nuances and explore the

wedding, formal, and everyday kimono featuring a variety of weaving and

Kasemeyer, this exhibition is part of a series of biennial exhibitions
