👘 Clothed in silk, where whispers roam,
The kimono speaks of a culture’s home.
Beneath Arashiyama’s soak up
with emerald light,
Wander Bamboo towers in graceful height.
In every fold, a story flows —
Of ancient beauty the breeze bestows.
To walk this path in timeless dress,
Is to feel Japan’s soul, no less.
