Kimono Dragon Records

First, I must give you a warning before you purchase this book. Please note this record follows a terribly large and very green Komodo dragon!

She lives in Japan and is often spotted wearing a kimono. She’s a demure character, usually polite and adhering to the cultural courtesies surrounding herself. She tries to blend in, but always ends up sticking out very noticeably in all sorts of situations.


I have spent some time carefully documenting the activities of our Dragon Lady as she explores various Japanese customs, culture, and festivals. During my observations of the Kimono Dragon, I haven't seen her behave awfully dragonish, but I would urge you to keep precautions, just in case. We shall follow her on her daily activities and errands, which are seemingly mundane; but because she is a large lizard, they are quite a novelty for her, and an adventure for us to observe.

Enjoyed by all ages, particularly for those with a penchant for Japan and large lizards. Learn more about Japanese culture with some new vocabulary. This book is not quite a children's book in the sense that it doesn't have a linear story from start to finish. It is a book of accounts, stand-alone events celebrating the Japanese culture and daily life as viewed by a foreigner.

Evelyn has always had an affinity for Japan; it was a dream come true to live there for 3 and a half years. One day, during her time in Japan, Evelyn's 3-year-old son asked about 'Kimono' Dragons. What was an innocent slip of the tongue developed into the Kimono Dragon Lady within this book.
