She was the FIRST Black woman in Japan to become a Kimono Teacher and THIS is what happened…. 👘 

This is so inspiring!!! Please magnify more black owned businesses. This was a great video definitely have my support!

How refreshing… I’m so delighted to see black female representation. Thank you for the push to explore my interests… which can be very eclectic. I’m thrilled by idea of exploring kimono. Gone are the days when I would automatically think that melanin dense Japanese presence does not exist as a result of mainstream not showing. Thanks for sharing. Now following

Kara’s kimono ensembles and closet/organization are a DREAM!!! 🥳

Yes! My six year old would love to buy kimono from you ❤️ We lived in Taiwan for a year and now she’s obsessed with everything East Asian :)

Thanks for posting! Yes please start a store. I love seeing black businesses thrive in Japan. I am visiting soon💕💕

Im excited because im sure she knows a lot of hacks for curvy girlies.

Excited about the series! Looking forward to more interviews

This gave me so much hope!!! Especially being a size G Princess who wants that dream of walking a day in traditional wear 🫶🏾

Please let me know when you are available to teach classes in the States.

Great interview😍👏!! I'm a kimono and kitsuke art lover myself, I follow Kara on Instagram and Facebook and she's amazing😍👍!!

So inspiring. I'm a black woman who wanted to live in Japan for the longest. I was interested in doing a job in the mental health area but there isn't any for foreigners that I've seen.

Thanks again, Kawaiicoco! It was so much fun to meet you!

I would love to visit her on my trip in November ❤ and get fitted for a Kimono ❤

Interesting! First time hearing of this! Hats off to you girls 🙏❤️

Love this!

You got something for men?
