Summary "KIMONO" by John Paris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the marriage between Geoffrey Barrington, an Englishman, and Asako Fujinami, a Japanese heiress. Their union is presented against a backdrop of cultural collision and societal inquiry, highlighting the complexities of their relationship amid the expectations of their respective backgrounds. At the start of the novel, we witness the wedding of Geoffrey and Asako, which is a grand event in London society, marked by both curiosity and skepticism. The guests speculate about the cultural implications of this Anglo-Japanese marriage, while insight into Asako's background reveals her upbringing in Europe and her ambivalence towards her Japanese heritage. The reception following the wedding showcases the mingling of Eastern and Western customs, creating an atmosphere of both celebration and tension. As the narrative unfolds, themes of identity, cultural integration, and the dynamics of love and power within a marriage emerge, setting the stage for what promises to be a deep exploration of East-West relations through the experiences of the barringtons in Japan. Overall, "Kimono" presents readers with an intriguing blend of romance and cultural commentary, poised to delve into the nuances of identity and belonging through the eyes of its central characters.
