Kimono meet-up Sakura Hime 桜姫
Celebrating the elegance and joy of kimono together.
What is Sakura Hime?
It's a meet up for Kimono lovers in Berlin!
The aim is to provide opportunities to wear Kimono for people who own Kimono but don't have a chance to wear it.
The event will be organized and share a Japanese meal in a real Japanese restaurant, have a tea, visit a museum or enjoy any other activities in common.
Let's enjoy Kimono more with the other Kimono lovers!
Concept
Sakura- cherry blossoms, Hime – princess
The concept of Sakura Hime is to enjoy Kimono life whatever you want. Even you can’t still wear Kimono by yourself or even you don’t have Kimono yet, it is not important. You love Kimono or Japanese culture. It is more than enough! Let’s enjoy with Kimono life as much as you want!
And there is the tale of Sakura Hime. She was born in a rich family but she didn’t want to have a life as traditional rich family. She left her family, fell in love with the guy who was from a poor family, became Geisha to find this guy. She was not a typical princess at all. This concept suits the concept of the events, so that I have decided to take this name for this project.
Past Kimono Meetup Events
1. Sakura viewing
We enjoyed a beautiful hanami gathering, celebrating the arrival of spring under blooming cherry blossoms. Dressed in traditional kimono, we shared a special moment together, appreciating Japanese culture and the beauty of the season.
2. New year's party with tea ceremony
We hosted a special New Year gathering featuring a traditional tea ceremony experience and a dango-making workshop. Participants enjoyed learning about Japanese culture through hands-on activities, sharing a warm and memorable start to the year together.
3. Kimono\Yukata fashion show at Japanmarkt Berlin
Twice a year, we present a kimono show at Japanmarkt, where we showcase a variety of kimono styles and introduce the richness of kimono culture. Through these presentations, we share the beauty, history, and diversity of traditional Japanese clothing with a wide audience.
And of course, we're not stopping there!
