August 16, 20206 yr Such attention to detail - it’s going to be a real let down if Tokyo 2021 can’t go ahead.
August 17, 20206 yr Oh, wow, those kimono are amazing! I have to admit, one of the main reasons I was looking forward so much to Tokyo2020 was the medal ceremonies, because I expected to see so many beautiful kimonos. I'm so happy to have this chance to see them in these videos now! Thanks for sharing!!
