My patient was tested today because it wasn't going the way I wanted but here is the result.
The brooch looks really cute I think.

kimono show Moshi Moshi Amsterdam

Moshi Moshi stand for a celebration of Japanese art and especially entertainment.
There were a diversity of exhibitors, workshops performers and fans that brought the traditional and contemporary Japan to the heart of Amsterdam.

The kimono show was hosted by Berber Oostenburg
The theme was a wedding with a bride, her mother, nieces and many friends. All dressed in different kind of kimono to show the formal kimono but also how to dress up in less formal kind of kimono but still look dressed for a wedding.
