I recently started watching the 朝ドラ "朝が来た！Asa ga kita" which is a Japanese morning 15min drama that runs for about 6 months.
It's traditionally about a woman's life from various period of time.
From her birth to death. Usually an influential person.
This time they are doing the Bakumatsu Era. That's my favorite!
It's about 150 years ago when Japan opened it's port to the world and the Edo period ends to move on to the modern Japan that we know today.
so much has happened and it's fascinating.

Not only the history interesting but the costumes of those lost times are all so gorgeous!!
Back then, in Edo (Tokyo today) people dressed in more muted toned down natural colored clothes, but in Osaka and Kyoto, women dressed in bright colors.
The main character of the story was upper middle class, so she had money to dress up!
I think I'm getting inspired.
