This event happens once a year. A kimono that is commonly recommended for visiting the event is the likes of an iromuji, or an edo komono. While the event is a festival, it is a somewhat more formal occasion. In previous years of this event, there was even a full kimono fashion show showing off a wide variety of kimono styles and types ranging from a formal wedding display to the informal party yukata.


Regardless of what you wear, you will be certain to have fun. We plan on attending, and will be certain to share photos and post on our social media! If wearing a kimono coordination is not your vibe for this event, a haori is a great accent! See you at Hinamatsuri at the Detroit Institute Of Art!
