Auction Spotlight: Anpanman!

  
Look at it. Just look at it. This is truly a wonder of modern kimono. Originally used in the theatre, this design shows the popular children’s characters Anpanman and Vikingman. Whimsical and fun and perfect for dressing on Children’s Day! I’d love to see someone actually wearing this kimono!

Here are some pictures and some rough and ready translations from the auction page.
