A boat obi on the ship in Hawaii

I brought some hitoe kimonos to my cruise trip around Hawaii islands. Because air conditioning was sometimes too strong for me, (hei it's waste of energy, America!) not yukata but hitoe was perfect to wear in the ship.

Boat design hakata obi sash, Ginza musubi knot
Kimono is 50% cotton, 50% hemp hitoe Ojiya chijimi

Looks great! I love your kimono ensemble and especially the ship obi ^_^

I'm so jealous you could go to a cruise trip to Hawaii! I also went to a cruise last week but it was only around Helsinki...
