This is one of three images I did as part of a series, combining the kimono with humourous Japlish text that I appropriated

Kazumi, a professional kimono model, permitted me to use this image as a reference. I taught her English while I was living in Japan.

The text is taken from a card I found in a gift shop and reads:
girls blossom into
womanhood
seeing all the
flowering seasons
with a smile
