Kimono: Thailand 🇹🇭 "Imagine One World Kimono Project" Olympic Japan 2020

The “Imagine One World Kimono Project” is an initiative, launched in 2014, by the Imagine One World Organization in honor of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. The initiative’s goal was to create unique furisode kimono and obi for each of the 213 countries participating in the Olympic Games in order to unite the world in peace and harmony in Tokyo 2020.

The project is headed by Japanese designer Yoshimasa Takakura and the costs of each kimono, estimated to be ¥2,000,000 (a little over $18,000 USD) each, were funded by a combination of public donations, crowdfunding, and corporate sponsorships. This project was also meant to promote the beauty and traditions of kimono culture as well as the cultural iconography of the participating countries.
