Everyone loves collecting some items which are unique to them. Stamps, coins, bookmarks, love letters.
I love to collect traditional clothes of different culture. I couldn’t think about something else except for these classique traditional costumes that I own for this week photohunt theme.
Yukata (Japanese summer wear)
Hanbok (Korean traditional costume)
This 2 costumes mean a lot to me. When I was undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Ken asked Yvonne to find a hanbok and yutaka for me when she was in LA for treatment. Ken told me no matter how painful and suffering is my treatment, I have to endure and overcome it, I have to get better and recover and become the original healthy girl I was. He said I must, I have to recover, become beautiful again and wear those traditional costume for him.
Today, is the 66th day I survived cancer. Because I was still very weak and looked very pale after my treatment, I was unable to wear my hanbok and yutaka for Ken before he flys back to UK to continue his studies. Next summer, I’ll definitely wear it specially for him.
Those are certainly beautiful! Love them both – very classic.
Thank you for the comment, tnchick. =) Glad to have you here.
