Is it ok to wear Kimono on Halloween? // Let's ask Shogo, Roza, Sala, Erika, and Billy 😉

In this video I want to discuss this very sensitive and complex topic with my friends. Is it ok to wear kimono on Halloween outside of Japan? Can foreigners wear kimono as a Halloween costume? Find out what professional kimono stylists, Japanese culture experts and cosplayers think. In the end you will have to find your own answer to this question, but I want to give some help to make the right decision.
