The morning air in Asakusa smells faintly of incense and grilled rice crackers as you step from the narrow lane into a private studio where a kimono waits folded like a promise. An attendant helps you into smooth fabric and a snug obi; the city reshapes itself around the new silhouette—lanes, lanterns, and the low, persistent hum of the Sumida River.
