Summer Kitsuke by fuyou-hime
Summer Kitsuke
The summer installment of my kitsuke photoshoots. Unlike my Autumn, Winter, and Spring ones, I did this one in my home city rather than at my university.

Second, I have changed the layout of Kimono Nagoya (a bit sadly) because the theme I was using before didn’t have a “View...
