We are living in Japan and observing the situation and responses worldwide through social media and friends about lockdown and quarantine. Everyone asks me how is the situation in Japan and what actions are being taken to prevent the infection. I am sharing my experience as living in Nagoya, the third most populated city in Japan.
It happened when we were attending a huge get-together and got to meet lots of people there, there I met an elderly Japanese lady who asked me if I had tried a kimono to which I said no, I didn’t get a chance yet, though there were so many one day kimono trial shops while I was traveling in Kyoto as I was alone and had camera and bag and it was difficult to carry it. She immediately offered me to try her kimono and I didn’t have words, we were total strangers.
