Westernization

D15 Koba has put an interesting set of kimonos in Kodama no Ki. (Click here for TP!)
As the following poster says : "If you clap your head, you can hear the sound of Westernization."



These kimonos reflect the changes Japan went from Meiji restoration to Taishō romantism (roughly from 1868 to 1911). If you look at your underwear, you see buttons. If you clap your head, you notice there is hair, rather than the bare skin part of your chonmage (topknot). But it's not western style completely yet.

There are three kimonos in the set, and you can buy them together or separately. One kimono is plain light brown, one is navy blue and checked, and the other one is black with polka dots. The sleeves, collar and obi (belt) are resizable through a touch menu. By the way, D15 says he's stoppd using the long-click thing feature because too many people didn't figure it out ;)
