Shot in: October, 2008

Another great japanese garden, another kimono outfit. This garden may be on-par with the Van Nuys Japanese Garden in terms of looks, though it's considerably smaller. Despite its very small size, they managed to fit a considerable amount of great shooting angles to work with. This was a great backdrop for Tuny's other kimono outfit—a less-authentic one from Leg Avenue.

Some otaku-lookin' guy was working the front desk and luckily took our word that we weren't shooting commercially. Well, he judged us correctly, and I thank him for that.

Another bit of good luck on this shoot was the fact that the garden was actually open. We'd been waiting for them to finish renovations for months and months and the wait turned out to be worth it.
