There was just something about the fact that I spent (probably) days making a kimono, just to hang it up and tear it to shreds. And smearing it with dirt, and charcoal dust, and anything else I could find. Also, pulling rope through holes in it. Rough rope.

Oh well. It turned out pretty good I think, especially since it may be the first attempt anyone has made of a Kusabi costume. The wig is perfect, and everything comes together pretty well once I have my cuts and scars (and railroad spike) on and have the rope bound around my arm. And the sandals are American Eagle, cause I like to dress nice.
