The Kimono Show” by Christal Yost

Description

The literal translation of Kimono is “Thing to wear on the shoulders”.  I won’t talk further about the history or 

symbolism of the garment, I will simply say that we carry a lot of things on our shoulders, in our hearts and on our 

sleeves.  These kimonos represent what I carry, and the theme of each is a reflection of experiences that I find 

important in this life. 

We spent 2020 taking care of our mom, who passed away as a result of cancer in December.

I spent a lot of time listening to Peggy share stories of her life experiences, and trying to reconcile the most 

important factors in this life.

Ultimately I reaffirmed that, for me, the most important things in life are people (not things!) and experiences. 

Life is short – Focus on what you Love

I love to be outside, I love to travel, and I love to experience the sights and sounds of different environments.

Each of these kimonos represent my experience in these environments.
