Special Kawaii Kimono activities

To get a deeper grasp of Japanese kimonos, especially Japanese children's kimonos, the SieboldHuis organizes some extra activities around the exhibition Kawaii Kimono.

- Lecture "The children's kimono: a small kimono for big expectations in life" by Linda Hanssen, curator Textile in the Wereldmuseum on Sunday July 10 at 14.00h (in Dutch)

- Help Japan, get dressed in a kimono! On Sunday July 31 visitors of the SieboldHuis will be able to get dressed up like a Japanese. Four Japanese ladies will help you get dressed in a kimono. Then you will be able to have your picture taken for €2 in our beautiful garden. The money raised on this day will be donated to the city of Yamada, which lies in Japan that was hit by the earthquake and tsunami last March 11. So help Japan, get dressed in a kimono on Sunday July  31 juli between 13.00h and 16.00h!
