Recycling to create furniture with the kimono fabric is a great idea. Kimono would typically have been taken apart for washing in the past and then re-sewn. It was a very expensive exercise.
So it is interesting today that the kimono material is not always being re-worked into traditional clothing but taking on different forms as well.
My kind of chair
For example, this kimono chair which I came across on the weekend has incorporated traditional materials into a funky design! I really liked the design and fabric used! I wonder if the chair is comfortable? I wonder also how easy it is to keep the kimono fabric clean?
You don’t have to always make larger recycle versions – this mini armchair in kimono fabric is also lovely – designed by Dolly Alice! And with dolls using the chair easy to keep clean no doubt!
Have you ever tried making miniatures?
It you are not into covering your armchair with kimono fabric, how about working with a wall hanging design?
This gives a very modern look to the room. What are your thoughts? Would you hang this at your place?
Maybe a wall hanging instead of a chair
The kimono is a versatile concept!
Have you got a piece of furniture that is inspired by the kimono at your place?

I have lived and worked in Japan for the past twenty five years off and on. I have seen many changes and enjoyed the various paradoxes and anomalies of everyday Japanese living.

Because our group is working on the food and architecture, most of the ideas were not suitable for us.however, for foods field, we could use conveyor-belt sushi in belowhttp://www.askmen.com/top_10/travel/top-10-things-you-should-do-in-japan_1p.htmlThey do make sushi in abroad but conveyor-belt one is still rare in western countries. This is a worth idea to bring back in the group discussion next class.

Beer girls are good idea for our topic. I think it’s pretty hard to attract lots of tourists just for fashion show. If the models of the fashion show serve tourists like beer girls, we will be able to attract more people for the show. I cannot come up with any ideas about service right now, but if we offer not only fashion show but also some services, more tourists would have interest in the show.

　Our topic is festival, so I don’t think they are useful for us. However, if some foreigners are interested in furniture decorated with kimono, they may enjoy seeing yukata in Japanese festivals.

Those sites above seems little differnt from our group theme, food and architecture. Although that I feel like I could understand how foreigners will be attracted to the Japanese things from these sites. Something new and practical must be interesting for them, so our group keep in mind this and are going to have our presentation become surprising and useful.

Something like beer girls is good idea to add my promotion strategy, because I would like to hold a exhibition in other country which introduce foreigners to Japanese festival and encourage them to come to Japan. In the exhibition, visitors could enjoy the atmosphere of Japanese festivals from food, music, display or more other things. Therefore if there are some Japanese girl salesclerks with unique uniform as like beer girl, it would be a good attracting point of the exhibition.
