It's utterly stupid. If you go to Kyoto or wherever you'll see loads of Japanese people and non-japanese people appropriating the fuck out of them and they love it. Especially since there's businesses that rent them out and sell them make a killing.

We must protect the Japanese from culturally appropriating themselves!

I frequent anime conventions, and last year attended a panel about kimonos.

The hosts shared how when they went to Japan, they went to a kimono store, and the little old ladies working there treat you like a fashion doll and dress you up how they see fit. Obviously you get a say, but for the most part, the sanbas treat you like a doll. It's great.
