DISCOVER: Akemi’s 100 Kimonos

In her brilliant photo series Akemi’s 100 Kimonos, Photographer Emily Stein tells the story of 60-year-old Japanese-born Akemi, who has lived in London for 20 years but stays connected to her roots through an extensive collection of Kimonos.

“Akemi has lived here for a long time, however, her heart is truly rooted in her home country of Japan and this manifests itself in her extensive Kimono collection – each Kimono has a story to tell about her past, which she is emotionally connected to.”Emily Stein in conversation with It’s Nice That
