Yukata Kimono

We had another kimono event, the first time was during Hina Matsuri, or Girls Day, we tried on the "winter kimono" and this time we tried on the "summer kimono" or Yukata kimono.  It was MUCH lighter and thinner and more comfortable to move around in, although the traditional sandals were not!  My favorite part of the kimono was the Obi, these ladies tied the most beautiful bows, I loved them!

My pretty Obi bow :)

E and I in our Yukata Kimono's!

This is Akie-San, she leads all of our cultural trips and is such a treasure!  She is the sweetest lady, and as it turns out our boys were both born on the exact same day!
