A gift from her obachan\, it holds special memories of her grandmother’s visit last summer. And Suki is going to wear it on her first day back to school — no matter what anyone says.When it’s Suki’s turn to share with her classmates what she did during the summer\, she tells them about the street festival she attended with her obachan and the circle dance that they took part in. In fact\, she gets so carried away reminiscing that she’s soon humming the music and dancing away\, much to the delight of her entire class!Filled with gentle enthusiasm and a touch of whimsy\, Suki’s Kimono is the joyful story of a little girl whose spirit leads her to march — and dance — to her own drumbeat.

While a teenager\, his family moved to East Asia\, where he lived for much of the late ‘60s and ‘70s. He became interested in East Asian culture\, learned Mandarin\, and studied traditional Japanese arts. Along the way he imported to the US antique Japanese kimono and other Japanese and Chinese art objects under the name Taisho 5 Collection. Peter traveled widely in East and South Asia\, ultimately settling in New York City. He made a later career in investment banking\, arranging international mergers and acquisitions for a Swiss firm\, and then for his own partnership\, Acquest International. He retired in 2018\, at which time he moved to St. Pete Beach\, where he now resides with his partner Diane Gilmour. He has degrees in History and East Asian Studies from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison.  \n\nPhoto Credits  \nWoman’s Furisode (detail)\, 1917\, Silk\, Collection of Peter Kuhlmann and Diane Gilmour \n  \n  \n
