Origato!

Filed under: Reese Witherspoon

Hello Japan!!

Reese Witherspoon visited Tokyo on Wednesday.

The actress was in town not to promote a movie but in her role as an Avon Global Ambassador.

Following traditional Japanese tea ceremony, GyllenHO's main girl met women who are breast cancer survivors.

Such a good girl!

Bitch is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overrated. She looks like a real fat bitch with a little head in this pic. I think she is a bitch from hell and made a major mistake with Ryan and is now trying to cover up her tracks with Jakey Poo. Sorry bastard with marry her and father her children before he figures it all out.

Actually, it used to be that when a woman said "thank you", a very formal phrase was used: "arigato gozai mas". I'm not sure what the current manners dictate in Japan right now, but usually the phrase was used by women only and men used the shorter and less formal "arigato".

Also if you look at Reese's kimono, it's definitely a summer kimono because of the colors and flowers on it. The Japanese are very artistic and when women wear kimono, their choices are made according to the season. And since this is a particularly colorful kimono, it might just be the sort of kimono a maiko (apprentice gei-sha) might wear. Apprentice geishas wear much more colorful kimono than older geisha, who wear darker and more muted colors.

It's a fascinating subject. Can you tell I like it?

Re: Chiya –

That depends on which transcription you use.
With the transcription we learn at university it's actually neither arigato nor arigatou, but arigatô.

And it's NEVER origato, Perez.

Re: Gwen –

Apparently you're the idiot here. True it is a furisode, however, they're not wrong in calling it a kimono either. A furisode is just the name of the TYPE of kimono it is.
Also, it's probably not photoshopped - that's just the look that happens due to the white collar. Happens when I wear my kimono too.

Re: katty –

yea except you don't seem to know much about it because that isn't a kimono, it's a furisode. the sleeves are too long to be a kimono. dumb ass.
Linds says – reply to this

145

It's arigato, BETCH.
Caite says – reply to this

Re: Fiona – And here you are wrong… kimono, the kanji for it and the word itself literally means thing to wear (着= (KI) WEAR 物= (MONO) THING). Yukata (summer cotton kimono, literally bathrobe), furisode, houmongi, komon, bridal furisode, juuni hitoe - they all are kimono, just different TYPES.
Seriously, look up the subject before you talk like that. Again, FURISODE is a subcategory of kimono. A simple trip to wikipedia could have told you that.
However, do I think it's the type of kimono a maiko wears, no - if it were, and these pictures are recent, it's very out of season (Ume = Jan/Feb flower - on a non-ro kimono). It's absolutely just a high class furisode.

Re: Caite –

I do second you 100% on that. God folks READ your books when you open them before bashing on everyone!!

And Argh! I'd kill for that furisode!
