An immigrant Kyoto fashion designer faces off with San Francisco's mayor over possible eviction of her Kimono Minds shop from Japantown by the City, which is pressured by major Asian corporations aiming to rebuild Japantown as a luxury resort. Believing that one builds the future on the past like Kyoto, she rallies her seven samurai designers who protest in gorgeous kimonos before the media. Inspired by Tanizaki's Makioka Sisters, Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, this comedy family novel explores the challenges of saving a kimono shop and marrying off three daughters who rebel against tradition with their desire to build their own Goth, Cosplay and VR fashion businesses. Join the thrills and tears of reinventing SF's Japantown and regenerative fashion industry for future generations!
